Starrett162A Pin Vice, 0-0.040" Range

Although this is advertised as a model maker's tool, I find it excellent for pricking out laminated bobbin lace patterns. It is more comfortable in the hand than it looks, and will hold the finest needle. It is easily adjusted for size and length of needle.

The pin vice's jaws close all the way, making it useful for bits with very small shaft diameters. I've had other pin vices that do not grip 0.8 diameter bits. This one does, very securely. The pin vice is hollow all the way through, so the bit can be removed by loosening the jaws and letting it slide out the back. It's a bit pricey, but well made so it's worth it.

Great grip, ideal size for intricate manipulation. I use it for my work; isolating microscopic particles.

Unlike cheaper products this pin vice really firmly grips the smallest drills I have tried.

Grips the 0.1 mm drill perfectly perfect for the job

Works a treat

Very speedy delivery, before the estimate. Excellent product. Used it with a 0.25mm drill, no problem.

Good value
