Wilton Tools Competitive Advantages

Wilton Tools Pow-R-Arms

Wilton Tools Pow-R-Arms are ideal for providing work holding support at permanent work stations, workbenches and assembly lines. These arms reposition the workpiece accurately and quickly for eliminating the requirement of clamping and unclamping, thereby minimising downtime. Their 360 degrees full swivelling work positioners set and hold the workpiece in position for providing hands-free production.

Wilton Tools round channel design

Wilton Tools vises feature round channel design for allowing a completely enclosed nut assembly and spindle, thereby retaining the lubrication for extended periods. This design also ensures that the contamination stays out, minimising chances of friction. Wilton vises are anchored at the rear for providing straight-line pressure & pull on the workpiece, resulting in high durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to measure Wilton vise's throat depth?

The throat depth in a vise is the vertical distance between the jaw's top edge and the main screw's top. The ideal throat depth for these vises is between 3 to 4 inches.

How to choose a suitable vise?

To choose the correct vise for the application in hand, the user should check for the throat depth of the vise. Larger throat depth vises are ideal for holding bulky and large workpieces. Additionally, bigger workpieces also require vises having bigger jaw widths.

How to choose Wilton Tools sledge hammers?

The major factors that are considered while choosing sledge hammers are shaft length, weight and material. Ideally, the sledge hammer weight ranges from 2 to 20 pounds. If the application in hand is related to demolition, the user should choose heavy sledge hammers. For other applications, light to medium duty sledge hammers are ideal.

What is the difference between a simple hammer and a sledge hammer?

The difference lies in the design of the hammer. Sledge hammers have broad, heavy and flat metal heads attached to a long handle. The long handle is designed to provide powerful swings while performing demolition operations.
