The axle vice holds the axle in a bench vice without damaging the threads or allowing it to turn while working on a hub. They have different diameter holes for axles with different diameters.

Directions

  2. Tighten the bench vise.
  3. Repack the Hub or whatever you need to do.
  4. Loosen the bench vice.

NOTE: The axle vice jaws will open automatically when the vise is opened.
