Suction Vice
They're not for banging on, just holding things. They're for model making etc.

Bang on… help is on it's way, I'll be there as fast as I can…
Wow. An LRB reference. Blast from the past!
Don't get the suction cup version if you can avoid it. Pretty useless and weak suction cup.
Just by looking at it, I can guess how useless it can be. I would not even waste $5 on this.

I believe Vise is the American spelling.
Dunno if they've gotten better over the years, but those vises are crap. Buy a pair of these: https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-sat-11-… for when you punt it over the fence.
I've got the suction one and it is TOTALLY useless, even on a completely smooth counter top surface. Gripping part is also plastic and comes off easily.
I need a good vise, but dang they're expensive.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Saved me the hassle of buying it and returning it.
Cheers!
Glad to help :)
Wouldn’t even stand up to holding a projector vertically so I can watch on the ceiling?
The suction part is more problematic than the vise part, which works fine. On a smooth kitchen counter top w/ a little water to aid suction it will only hold for ~3 minutes with no use, as soon as you apply a little pressure it moves. The suction part is an ABS plastic, the vise grip is the same type of plastic and melts easily… so want to cut a screw w/ your Dremel and the heat will melt the grip.
Btw have been using an ALR pj screen that rises up from behind a cabinet… works awesome.
The Stanley vice from Bunnings for $45 is a very good tool for lightweight work. It costs three times as much but is very well made. https://www.bunnings.com.au/stanley-multi-angle-hobby-vice_p…
Bought a clamp one last time. Never used it yet - mainly cos I keep forgetting I even have it when I need it lol.
Never even considered the suction. Can see for any hardware usage relying on a suction cup is just asking for trouble.
can i crack walnuts with these?
This vice seems similar at Bunnings for cheaper

That’s not a swivel vice, if that matters to you.
can I use it as a monitor stand?
The last time I bought a monitor it came with a stand.
What would you assume would be the case if the person above you was looking for a stand for their monitor?
What would be your answer be to his question?
Clamp vice is a great little unit.
Hopefully Bunnings will drop price on their equivalent
They don't seem to have one. The only ball joint/articulating one seems to be the Stanley above, and I doubt they're going to drop the price on that (if they do, hey hey!)
Otherwise, their cheapie generic vice is already cheaper as maxpowerchange has linked.
Table vice, table vice

Gotta love a Sound of Music reference.
These are great for holding locks when you're lockpicking (I've heard).
They are use less don't do much. better to get bench vice from Bunning and get sleeper make small bench attach vice to it. Its become potable. I am unable to upload photo of mine.
Wonder how strong the suction is and if it wobbles when using a hammer to bend something
