The focus is on robustness, precision, and universal applicability, which are demanded by experienced specialists.

The construction of the device is based on a massive steel housing designed for highest loads. Steel as a material provides the necessary hardness and wear resistance to function reliably even under rough conditions in everyday work. The external dimensions are 298 x 100 x 137 millimeters, which means a compact design that takes up little space in the vehicle equipment but still offers a large working surface. The net weight of 5.13 kilograms ensures sufficient mass to absorb vibrations and forces during machining without the device itself slipping or tipping over. These dimensions and the material make it a stable partner for demanding tasks. The jaw width of 100 millimeters offers a broad bearing surface for a wide variety of workpieces. The opening width of 125 millimeters allows even thicker profiles, pipes, or components to be clamped securely. These technical specifications are crucial for performance in daily use.

A special feature of this version is the equipment with pipe clamping jaws. These special jaws serve to fix cylindrical objects such as pipes, cable ties, or round profiles particularly securely. Their shape prevents workpieces from rolling away or slipping during machining. This is particularly advantageous when work is carried out on the bodywork, on the electrics, or on vehicle technology, where round components are in the foreground. The combination of parallel jaws and pipe clamping jaws makes the device a versatile solution for a wide variety of craft tasks. The precision of the parallel guide ensures that the workpiece is always clamped evenly, contributing to a clean work result and minimizing the risk of damage to the workpiece.

The area of application of this parallel vice extends across various trades and fields of application. Craftsmen in the automotive trade use it for repairs on vehicles, while installers use it for processing lines and pipes. The device also finds its justification in the field of vehicle conversion or mobile service work. The ability to hold workpieces securely facilitates working with both hands and increases safety at the workplace. Whether cutting metal, filing edges, or holding components during screwing work – the parallel vice offers the necessary stability. The mobile nature of the device allows it to be transported quickly to the required location and made ready for use immediately. This saves time and nerves, as there is no need to visit a fixed workshop first.

The advantages of this tool are obvious. It offers high stability thanks to the steel material. The compact design saves storage space in the vehicle. The pipe clamping jaws significantly expand the possibilities of application. The precise parallel guide ensures even holding. The simple handling enables quick clamping and unclamping of workpieces. Integration into existing systems of vehicle equipment facilitates organization. The robustness guarantees a long service life even under harsh conditions.

The classification into the Sortimo system shows the strategic orientation towards professional vehicle equipment. The company Sortimo has specialized in developing solutions that meet the requirements of craftsmen and service providers. The parallel vice is part of this philosophy, which focuses on efficiency and quality. Due to compatibility with other components such as the work bench sliding console 100 or the turntable 100, a flexible overall system results. The possibility of mounting the device on any work bench or work bench drawer underlines the versatility. This makes it possible to adapt the working surface as required and create optimal conditions for the respective task. Working on the vehicle thereby becomes more professional and ergonomic, increasing productivity and improving work quality.

For many users, the question arises as to which vice is needed for the tool case. A robust vice for craftsmen must not only be stable but also compact enough to fit in the case or in the vehicle equipment. The Sortimo 100 parallel vice meets these criteria with its dimensions of 298 x 100 x 137 mm and its weight of 5.13 kg. It is constructed in such a way that it is not unwieldy despite the robust design. The jaw width of 100 mm is ideal for most craft work in the vehicle environment, as it offers a good balance between gripping width and compactness. Anyone looking for a mounting vice with 100mm jaw width will find a solution here that is suitable for both light and medium-duty tasks.

Mounting a parallel vice in the vehicle is an important aspect for safety. The possibility of mounting the device with the help of the turntable 100 on any work bench or work bench drawer offers enormous flexibility. This allows individual adaptation to the conditions in the vehicle. The mounting vice can thus be positioned where it is most accessible and supports the workflow. The stability of the steel housing contributes to the device holding securely even during dynamic movements or vibrations in the vehicle. This is crucial to avoid accidents or damage. A stable vice for craft and service must therefore not only hold the workpiece securely but also hold itself securely.

The question of the ideal jaw width for craft work depends heavily on the area of application. For general work in the automotive trade and in vehicle maintenance, a width of 100 mm has proven to be very practical. It offers enough surface area to grip small and medium-sized components securely without the vice becoming too large. A vice 100mm is therefore a good all-round solution. For very large components, a larger jaw width could be advantageous, for very fine work, a smaller one might suffice. However, the 100mm offers a very good compromise. The opening width of 125 mm complements this optimally, as it leaves enough room for different thicknesses.

The suitability of a steel vice for outdoor use is often discussed. Steel is a very resistant material, but it can be susceptible to corrosion if not protected. Generally, such tools are designed for professional use and can withstand normal weather conditions. Nevertheless, care should be taken with appropriate maintenance if left outside for a long time. Inside the vehicle or under cover, the use is harmless. The parallel vice is intended for use in the mobile workshop, where it is often used in protected areas. The robustness of the material makes it a durable companion that holds up even under stressful conditions.

A parallel vice offers several advantages over a conventional vice, especially in mobile use. The parallel guide ensures that the jaws always run parallel to each other, enabling even clamping. Conventional vices can often warp or have uneven clamping force. This is particularly important for sensitive or precise work. In addition, the freedom of mounting due to compatibility with various brackets is a major plus point. A fleet vice often has to be used in different locations, and the flexibility of mounting is crucial here. The pipe clamping jaws are another unique selling point that is often missing in conventional models. This makes it a specialized tool for vehicle construction and service.

In summary, it can be said that the parallel vice 100 is a high-quality tool for professional use. Its technical data, such as the dimensions of 298 x 100 x 137 mm and the weight of 5.13 kg, speak for solid workmanship. The steel material ensures stability and durability. The jaw width of 100 mm and the opening width of 125 mm offer a good range of performance. The pipe clamping jaws significantly expand the possibilities of application. The possibility of flexible mounting on various surfaces makes it a versatile partner. For everyone who wants to turn their vehicle into a mobile workshop, this parallel vice is a sensible investment. It supports daily work, increases efficiency, and contributes to a professional appearance. Integration into the Sortimo system rounds off the offer and offers synergies with other components. Anyone who values quality, precision, and flexibility will find a solution here that meets the requirements of modern craftsmanship.
