Vise clamping force test: Heuer 160 vs Fireball Hardtail Compact,510, and 614.

Same input every time - 100 ft-lbs on the torque wrench. Here’s what came out.

Hardtail compact - $520, 6.5” opening, 12,100lbs
Heuer 160/180 $1,100, 9” opening, 5,144 lbs
Hardtail 510 - $1,610, 12” opening, 12,500 lbs
Hardtail 614 - $2,070, 14” opening, 13,000lbs

Cost per 100 lbs of clamping force: Compact $5.20, 614 Hardtail $6.90, 510 Hardtail $8.05, Heuer $13.98

The 614 is the most expensive vise here and still one of the best values - triple the clamping capacity for about a third more per pound of force. But capacity is a threshold, not a score. If your parts needs 14” of jaw, the Compacts value rating doesn’t matter.

Can this welding table make me 6 perfect doors?

The doors have a tricky 3/16” reveal all the way around and need to be perfect. Normally this could end up being kind of hard to pull off, but watch as we use the Fireball Heavy Duty Fixture table, Fireball Shim Kit, and a few clamps to make this job a breeze.

How accurate are the Fireball Tool fixture tables?

Let’s test the hole position accuracy on the Fireball heavy duty table. I recently received a comment of a Build Pro Alpha table owner wanting me to test hole alignment off the sides of the fireball tables, as he noticed his own tables side plate holes were off around .022 and wanted to see how they compare. Can do!
