Handle Kit for the
Aqua-Jaw Carry Vise by Omni Cubed
The new accessory
Handle Kit for the Aqua-Jaw Carry Vise by Omni Cubed adds two more handles
to each carry vise. With extra handles, four installers are able to safely
carry heavier tops (two installers on each side of the top). Each of the four
installers has their own pair of handles for easier lifting, and even
distribution of the countertop load reduces worker strain, reports the
manufacturer. The comfort-grip, foam rubber handle material is UV and ozone
resistant, and also will not absorb moisture. The extra handles are an
inexpensive upgrade option, and are quickly and easily added to an existing
pair of Aqua-Jaw Carry Vises. The Aqua-Jaw Carry Vise and accessory Handle
Kit are manufactured and assembled in the U.S., and are covered by a one-year
manufacturer’s limited warranty, reports Omni Cubed.
