Patented, reversible double-sided bowtie jaws with one side for plastic pipe and the other side for metal pipe. Chain vise style adjusts well to pipe and odd-shaped work pieces. R470P offers the same great features as Reed's R450+ tripod, yet provides a 60 percent larger top tray. Offers 45 degree cranking handle angle. Handle grip is positioned so handler can pick up and carry the folded tripod. Sides on folding tray keep tools and parts safe from falling or rolling off. Reed Tripod Vises are among the strongest pipe vises available. Tripods are manufactured with heavy gauge steel, overlapping hinges, and the best adjustable tray clamp, not a set screw, to keep the lower tray assembly and entire portable workbench tight even after many hours of use! The heavy-duty design permits use with pipe up to 6 diameter. Tripods fold into a compact shape, have a padded handle grip at the balance point, and boast the lightest weight for the easiest portability of all well-known tripods.
