Holding Tools

Holding devices are provisions and tools used to hold workpieces on the bench. The center of the bench is made lower to create a depth for keeping hand tools while working. This depth is called a well. It runs from one end to the other. Tools that are not being used are kept away from the bench. Other bench appliances include:

  • The bench vice
  • The bench hook
  • Clamps, etc.
