Built to last, it's constructed of 75,000-PSI tensile strength drop-forged steel for superior durability and has a sturdy forged steel swivel base with dual draw-down bolts. The adjustable swivel base offers increased work areas and allows the vise to securely lock in any position. The steel handle features rubber anti-pinch rings and a high performance, rolled double lead Acme screw.

Questions & Answers
Are jaw pads available for the F-series vise?
At one time, magnetic jaw covers were supplied for this vise. Unfortunately, they were discontinued many years ago.

I am interested in a vise and want to ask if i can buy a Matador in Germany. I have not found on you german homepage, only on the US, chinese and Maxican side.
Hello, Unfortunately, Ridgid no longer produces the F-Series Vice. It has been discontinued. Tech Service
Why is it so hard to get customer service to send me a part for my vice that did not arrive in Shipping for whatever reasons this is exhausting that no one acknowledges these messages messages your customer service is terrible !!!!!
Hello, Sorry to hear that you received your vise missing parts. Please call Tech Support at 800.519.3456 and we will be happy to assist you. Tech Support.
I am not qualified to answer this question as I have no experience with how Ridgid runs their customer service department. However, I think they are no longer making these vises so that might be a factor.
Is this vise discontinued ? And if so is there a replacement coming ?
Hello, Thanks for your interest in the F-Series Vise. Unfortunately, this product line has been discontinued and no replacement is imminent.
How much does this F45 weigh
Hello Chuck, the F-45 bench vice weighs approximately 26 pounds. Thanks, RIDGID Support
The F-45 weighs 26 pounds, based on RIDGID specs: https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/f-series-vises
What are outside dimensions of F-60 and F-45 vise, not shipment box but actual vise?
I ended up buying XF-50, from center of rotation you need 8" to front part including handle and 9" to the back in closed position. The base can be mounted on 8"x8" square.
Can you provide the mounting-bolt cirlce diameter for the F-Series vises? I need to mount the vise on a wood-top work-bench with steel reinforcing members on the underside of the top. I need to be sure the mounting bolts will not interfere with these.
Hi, please email us at ProToolsDomesticCS@Emerson.com. We can provide you with a detailed chart. It won't let me share it in this forum.
