Vintage No. 00-H Cast Iron Pipe Vise – Antique Bench-Mounted Plumber’s Tool with Quick Release Cam
This authentic vintage No. 00-H pipe vise is a classic bench-mounted tool used by plumbers and pipefitters for securely holding round pipe while cutting, threading, or assembling plumbing lines. Constructed from heavy cast iron with a threaded screw clamp and serrated V-jaws, this vise was built for durability and long service in professional workshops.
Designed specifically for gripping round pipe, the vise features aggressive serrated jaws and a quick-release cam lever, allowing pipes to be clamped tightly and released quickly during work. Tools like this were essential equipment in plumbing shops and construction sites throughout the early to mid-20th century.
The rugged industrial design and original red finish make this piece equally appealing as a working tool, industrial décor item, or collectible for vintage tool enthusiasts.
