A vise is a tool with two moveable and parallel jaws that hold an item in place while it is being worked on. It is controlled by a screw and a lever. In woodworking, the vise is normally attached to a bench and made of either wood or metal. In the field of engineering, the vise is known as a Metalworker's or Fitters vise and is normally made of iron.
