What is a "vise"?
A vise is a tool used to hold objects securely in place while working on them. It consists of two parallel jaws that can be adjusted closer together or farther apart using a screw mechanism. One jaw is fixed, while the other can move to grip the object tightly. Vises are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and other tasks where stability is needed for cutting, drilling, or shaping materials.
