Sagle, Idaho (June, 2010) – From cutting pipe at a job site to modifying parts at the track, the new hitch-mounted Trail D-Vise is a versatile new tool from Mac’s Custom Tie-Downs. Born on the Rubicon Trail when an off-road enthusiast needed to change a universal joint, the portable vise is an invaluable tool for mechanics, racers, contractors or anyone that needs to make repairs on the go.
Engineered to mount in a trailer receiver like a traditional ball mount, the D-Vise weighs only 17 pounds, yet has all the features of a full-size 8-inch vise, including high-grip SlipNot surfacing jaws, a convex pipe holder and a built-in CNC-cut adjustment wrench. The compact design allows it to fit easily behind the seat of a truck or in most tool boxes. Using the Trail D-Vise is simple, just slide the vise into the receiver and tighten it down with the included Mac’s billet wrench. To prevent theft, the hitch pin cannot be removed without a socket or wrench once the Trail D-Vise is slightly tightened down in the receiver.
Everyone from plumbers to bikers will have a use for the Trail D-Vise. The jaws will easily hold 2″x4″ or pipe tubes for contractors on worksites. Fishermen and hunters can make equipment adjustments right at their vehicle. Every motorsports fan has experienced the disappointment of a day on the trail or at the track with broken parts. The Trail D-Vice can make the difference between a day behind the wheel or on the trail and a day spent sitting in the pits. The Trail D-Vise can even be mounted to a work bench using the optional square tube table receiver. It’s perfect for small or temporary work spaces. Like all Mac’s Custom Tie-Down products, the Trail D-Vise is designed and manufactured in the USA with the highest quality domestic materials.
