Providing a Firm Grip on Performance
Easy-Mount Swivel Base
Mount the Wilton Shop Vise on a workbench or use it in a work truck. The 3 mounting posts provide the solid stability you need. The base rotates a full 360°, positioning it at the ideal angle to get each specialized job done. And with the double lockdown system, you can count on the vise remaining right where you mount it, rock solid with less rotation.
Versatile and Dependable Jaws
The replaceable, hardened steel jaws easily adjust up to 8in.W with a 4in. depth to accommodate materials in a variety of thicknesses. The serrated pattern on the jaws adds strength while providing a strong and sure grip. Built-in pipe jaws add even more functionality, making it easy to put the clamp on pipes ranging from 3/4in. to 3in. dia.
Strength, Durability and Safety
The heavy-duty casted vise has a 30,000 PSI iron body that's built to handle the most rugged use and deliver years of service. But even though the vise is built tough, safety features are built in, with rubber pinch point guards to keep fingers and hands safe during use.
Double Duty That Hits Home
The vise also doubles as an anvil, sporting a large work surface that can handle the pounding it takes to effectively forge a piece of metal or perform a variety of other flattening or shaping tasks.

How wide are the _jaws_?
Vises are normally measured across the jaw, not across the opening width, and that measurement seems to be the one thing missing from the description.
