This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

Deliveries to Canada’s outer and remote regions may experience seasonal delays caused by severe weather or limited carrier availability. We appreciate your patience and recommend allowing additional time for your order to arrive safely.
Meet the Forward CR40A, a 4.5-inch bench vise built to withstand tough workshop conditions. Crafted from high-grade ductile iron, this vise pairs weighty stability with precise clamping, designed to handle metalworking, carpentry, and assembly tasks with ease.
The CR40A uses PSI 60,000 ductile iron, a material chosen for robustness and a long service life. The weight and density translate to a stable, vibration-free grip when you’re pressing, cutting, or filing small-to-medium parts.
Two sets of jaws provide adaptable gripping options: replaceable serrated flat jaws with slot jaws, plus built-in pipe jaws that fit round stock from 1/2 to 3-1/2 inches. A large anvil surface supports hammering, flattening, or shaping tasks as part of your workflow.
The 210-degree lockdown swivel base lets you orient the vise to the exact angle you need, so you can clamp irregular or multi-face workpieces without moving your base setup. Secure mounting ensures reliable repeats in busy shops.
In short, the Forward CR40A is designed to be a dependable workholding companion that complements professional tasks with strong, steady performance and straightforward setup.
