In order to properly process a part, especially if it is made of metal, only the strength of the hands is not enough. And they are needed to hold the tool. In this case, the "second pair of hands" of incredible strength will come in handy. Vices of various weights and purposes will help to fix the part “tightly”. There are compact models for DIYers, light weight and size. They can be installed in the hallway or garage and not necessarily on a permanent basis. Convenient clamp-type fastening allows you to put and remove them as you wish. More serious and heavy stationary models are put seriously and for a long time. Everyone can choose the tool that will become a faithful assistant for many years.
