The term 'Bench Tool' can be summarized by the four-letter word 'VISE'. A VISE is a mechanical device used to hold an object firmly in place while it is being worked on. It is typically attached to a workbench and is used to hold materials such as wood, metal, or plastic in place while they are being cut, drilled, or otherwise manipulated. Vises are an essential tool for many types of work, from carpentry to metalworking.
