Stone setting, polishing and shank work all go better with the ring held still and both hands free. This 5.5" wooden clamp does exactly that: the steel wing nut winds the tapered jaws down to finger-tight pressure that grips the shank without bruising it — a staple of everyday bench repairs.

Wood construction keeps the tool light and insulates the hand during light soldering tasks, while a metal ferrule at the tip stops the jaws splitting under pressure. At roughly 140mm it works hand-held or gripped in a bench vice.

  • A steel wing nut allows for fine, finger-tight adjustment of clamping pressure.
  • Tapered wooden jaws accommodate a wide range of ring sizes and profiles.
  • Lightweight wood construction provides thermal insulation during light soldering tasks.
  • Metal ferrule at the tip reinforces the jaws against splitting under pressure.
  • Overall length of 5.5 inches (approx. 140mm) fits comfortably in the hand or a bench vise.

Who it's for

An essential hand vise for UK bench jewellers, apprentices, and jewellery students. Also suitable for model makers and craftspeople who need to hold small, delicate components securely for finishing or assembly work.

  • Material: Wood with steel hardware

Penelope ★★★★★

The tapered jaws on this wooden clamp grip my rings securely without any slipping, and the wing nut tension adjustment is smooth and precise. It's a solid little vice that frees up both hands for detailed stone setting work.

Ruby U. ★★★★★

Finally, a clamp that keeps the ring steady without scratching it — the wooden jaws grip firmly yet gently, and the wing nut lets me adjust tension mid-polish. I’ve done three stone settings in one sitting with no wobble.

Miles ★★★★★

The tapered jaws on this 5.5-inch wooden vice hold even my smallest rings firmly without any slipping during stone setting, which was my main struggle before. I also really appreciate how the wing nut lets me adjust the tension precisely without needing a tool, leaving both hands free for the work.
