Industrial Buzz - From cutting pipe at a job site to modifying parts at the track, the new hitch-mounted Trail D-Vise is a versatile new tool from Mac's Custom Tie-Downs. Born on the Rubicon Trail when a member of the Mac's team broke a universal joint, the portable vise is an invaluable tool for mechanics, racers, contractors or anyone that needs to make repairs on the go. Engineered to mount in a trailer hitch receiver, the Trail D-Vise weighs only 17 pounds yet has all the features of a full-size vise, including high-grip Slip-Not jaws, a triple pipe jaw and a convenient anvil.
The Trail D-Vise can be positioned in 90-degree increments for horizontal or vertical operation. The compact design allows it to fit easily behind the seat of a truck or in most tool boxes. Using the Trail D-Vise is simple, just slide it into the receiver, insert the included pin and get to work. A laser-cut steel wrench is included to operate the vise. When the work day is over, the Trail D-Vise has a built-in bottle opener. Everyone from plumbers to bikers will have a use for the Trail D-Vise. The jaws will easily grip everything from a 2"x4" to a pipe for contractors on worksites. Fishermen and hunters can make equipment adjustments right at their vehicle. Every motorsports fan has experienced the disappointment of a day on the trail or at the track with broken parts. The Trail D-Vice can make the difference between a day behind the wheel or on the trail and a day spent sitting in the pits.
The Trail D-Vise can even be mounted to a work bench using the optional receiver. It's perfect for small or temporary work spaces. Like all Mac's Custom Tie-Down products, the Trail D-Vise is designed and manufactured in the USA with the highest quality domestic materials. Mac's Custom Tie-Downs was founded in 1994, when founder Colin McLemore realized there was a need for high quality tie-down systems for trailers and truck beds.
