What bike shops use them for:

• Hub tools: Clamp a hub, freehub or cassette lockring tool in the jaws and turn the wheel onto it. Both hands stay on the wheel and the tool cannot walk off the splines.

• Steerer tube cutting: Hold the saw guide square and steady while you cut a fork steerer to length.

• Crank arms: Grip a crank arm flat without marring the finish for pedal removal, pedal thread repair, or pressing out a stubborn spindle.

• Shock bushings: Use the vise as a press. The flat jaws seat squarely on the eyelet and drive bushings and reducers in and out without scarring the shock body.

• General purpose: Flat, non-marring faces for everything else on the bench, from brake calipers and derailleurs to suspension parts and dropper posts.
