Dead handy – that’s what these neat vices are. There are loads of simple car jobs that would be a great deal easier if you had an extra pair of hands – and with one of these products clamped to the shelf or workbench in your garage, it can do all the necessary holding, leaving you free to do the cleaning, painting, drilling or whatever.

A vice is ideal for today’s garages and any jobs you need to do on your car. Designs have improved in recent years, with many models now including protective jaw covers and clamps, plus swivelling bases to provide all-round access.
