They can also greatly increase the risk of your vise (or the item between the vise) shattering, potentially injuring you and your property. However I would recommend caution when it comes to cheater bars, they WILL wear out your vise quicker than if you don’t use one. A longer bar means it’s easier to apply more force… I couldn’t find my cheater bar for this photo, so you will have to just settle for the handle.

The stationary jaw on this yost 750-di doesn’t move. The moving jaw is cranked towards the stationary jaw until a force large enough to hold an object in place is made. The most common type of vise has a stationary jaw and a jaw that is moved along a horizontal axis by a lead screw – which is in turn turned by a handle. They are incredibly versatile and handy tools.
