Pipe Vise Stand and Bracket

Alan (California Radiant) Forbes · January 21

Just bought a new truck. It comes with everything except a slide-out pipe vise bracket like the one pictured, but I can’t find one for sale anywhere. Fabrication is a second choice if I can’t find one off the shelf.
Does anyone have a source?

i’ve seen that slipping for the trailer hitch a little low but out of the way

American Van has a floor mount telescoping bracket for vice mounting.

I have gotten a lot of items from them and all was good.

Hi, Like @JUGHNE , I used their van vice mount with great success. https://www.americanvan.com/slide-out-vise-mount-av-svm-11-1006.html

That bumper is stout enough to mount the bottom 1/2 of a regular yoke type pipe vice.

Or detachable receiver type, like this.

Nice truck, beefy pipe rack. I like the colors

A lot of guys and gals swear by this Bigfoot type of vise. You could rig a bumper mount, and use it as a portable with some clever bracketing

Like the looks of the bigfoot. If I was working, I would get one.

But it takes the fun out of kneeling on a concrete floor with two pipe wrenches

i bought one of those guillotine style pipe vises used with the intent of bolting to a couple foot long piece of 2x.

I like the way you worded that. I have a lot of intentions too 😅

Nice truck btw!

Looks like you have this one, and they made their own mount

if you do a lot of threaded pipe these portable threaders are super handy. They have cordless versions now.

I rarely used the pipe vise after I got one of these.

Does that truck have 120V receptacles in the bed.

I have an Amigo 2 that I bought used 31 years ago. Works great i think.

I wouldn't know my brother scoffed it off me over 20 years ago and I haven't seen it since. Only threader I have left sold the others. Much lighter than a Rigid 700 and plenty of power.

@Alan (California Radiant) Forbes Nice new ride. I can see why you want what you have had before, that good old familiarity often works best.

I use the big foot. The problem I have with it is you can't crank down on something, it will not stay stationary. Otherwise its a good portable vice.

I looked in the Ridgid catalog and could not find anything there. Try giving them a call. 1-800-474-3443. They might have something not listed, or a recommendation. If not, the company that sold you the utility box on your new truck might have something.

I sent you a message in your mail for some other thoughts.

Just for my education, do those portable threading machines still require a vise, or do they have an integrated vise that prevents a free pipe from spinning?

Intplm. · 3:16PM

They require a vice. They usually come with a clamp that is clamped onto the pipe. The clamp has a post or integral rod. The threader is inserted on that rod so the threader can travel the length of the cut of the thread.

The clamp is pictured here, the part farthest to the right.
