Small chain vise it is a tool used to clamp and fix objects such as pipelines and mechanical components, especially suitable for heavy-duty disassembly and assembly operations. The main characteristics of chain tiger pliers are their unique clamping mechanism and strong clamping force, which make them widely used in pipelines, machinery workshops, downhole tool workshops, and offshore drilling platforms.

The H402 Small Chain Vise Pipe Work is a compact yet robust clamping solution engineered specifically for precision pipe processing tasks, tailored to meet the needs of both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts. Designed for use in mechanical workshops, on-site plumbing projects, and even confined spaces like under-sink utility areas, this tool seamlessly combines heavy-duty construction with intuitive, user-friendly operation. It excels at securing pipes during high-precision tasks such as cutting, threading, and fitting, ensuring minimal pipe movement that directly improves work accuracy. Its space-saving design—measuring just 18” in length when fully assembled—makes it ideal for workbenches with limited surface area, while its adaptive gripping mechanism maintains reliable performance across a wide range of pipe materials, eliminating the need for multiple specialized vises.
Rugged Construction: Cast-iron base with a reinforced ribbed structure ensures exceptional structural stability, minimizing vibration during high-torque tasks like pipe threading. The integrated pipe rest and bender add multifunctional value, allowing users to hold pipes in place while shaping or adjusting them without switching tools.
Versatile Capacity: Accommodates pipe diameters from 1/8" to 6", supporting both metal (including galvanized steel, copper, and black iron) and plastic (PVC, CPVC, PEX) piping. This versatility makes it a go-to tool for projects involving mixed material systems, such as residential plumbing retrofits.
Protective Jaws: Optional toothless neoprene-coated jaws feature a non-slip texture that prevents scoring or cracking on delicate plastic pipes—critical for maintaining the integrity of water supply lines or HVAC condensate pipes. Standard steel jaws are also included for heavy-duty metal pipe work.
Secure Anchoring: A ergonomically designed crank handle, anchored directly to the cast-iron base, provides precise clamping force control. The handle’s rubberized grip reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use, while the locking mechanism ensures the vise stays securely in place even when applying maximum torque.
Plumbing Maintenance: Securing copper, PVC, and galvanized pipes during installation and repair tasks—from fixing leaky bathroom pipes to replacing old water heater supply lines. The compact size allows access to tight spaces like crawl spaces or under-counter areas where larger vises cannot fit.
Mechanical Workshops: Supporting pipe threading and cutting for HVAC system components, such as ductwork connectors or refrigerant lines. The stable base ensures consistent thread quality, which is essential for preventing refrigerant leaks in cooling systems.
DIY Projects: Ideal for home improvement tasks involving small-diameter pipe modification, such as installing a home irrigation system, repairing a backyard fountain’s piping, or building a custom outdoor shower. Its easy setup and adjustable grip make it accessible for users with limited professional experience.
Q: What pipe materials are compatible?
A: It works with all common pipe materials, including metal (steel, copper, galvanized iron) and plastic (PVC, PEX, CPVC). For plastic pipes, we recommend using the included neoprene-coated jaws to avoid surface damage—this flexibility eliminates the need for separate vises for different material types.
Q: Is it suitable for bench mounting?
A: Yes, the cast-iron base includes four pre-drilled holes (3/8" diameter) that align with standard workbench bolt patterns. Mounting hardware is not included, but we recommend using grade 5 bolts for maximum stability, especially when working with large-diameter pipes.
Q: What’s the maximum clamping force?
A: Engineered to provide sufficient clamping force (up to 500 lbs of pressure) for pipes up to 6" in diameter without causing deformation. The force is distributed evenly across the jaw surface, ensuring a secure hold without damaging pipe walls—even for thin-walled copper pipes.
