Penklem, 0.025 - 0.075", Starrett

The hardened jaws gripped my #60 drill bit perfectly without any slipping—exactly what I needed for model work. A few turns of the binding nut and it’s locked in tight, yet easy to adjust on the fly.

I needed something to hold tiny taps steady without slipping, and this pin vise’s hardened jaws lock them securely after just a few turns of the binding nut. The build quality feels precise enough for delicate work, like holding a #80 drill.

The knurled body gives a solid grip even with oily fingers, and the hardened jaws haven’t shown a single mark after a week of holding tiny taps and reamers. It took maybe two turns of the binding nut to lock a 0.06" drill dead straight, which is exactly what I needed for delicate work.
