Description
The PanaVise PV Jr. mini-vise is a combination of quality workmanship and durability. Ease of adjustment and available accessories make it the must have miniature vise. Designed for use in small projects requiring precise soldering, gluing, and tool work. The PV Jr. features tilt adjustability up to 210 degrees along with 360 degree turns and rotations, fine/course clamping abilities, grooved jaws for easy holding, heat-tolerant jaws, compatibility with other vise components and more. The PanaVise PV Jr. is a versatile, multi-use mini-vise that is suitable for use in everything from arts and crafts, to model making, electronics and other small projects. Lightweight and durable, the vise is designed around a vise head assembly constructed of a black glass reinforced thermal composite connected to a die cast zinc base by PanaVise's patented ball joint clamp system. This system not only holds items within the vise head assembly securely in position, but also allows for maneuvering of them along three separate planes. The complete range of mobility possible with the ball joint clamp system is 210 degrees of tilt, along with either an angled rotation or level turn range of 360 degrees. This range of mobility, especially the large tilt, allows you to arrange and rearrange items being worked on into virtually any position, limiting the need to adjust the overall position of the vise or the item within the vise. Grooved jaws are excellent for holding small objects and are made of reinforced thermal composite. Continuous heat tolerance: Up to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) Intermittent heat tolerance: Up to 450 degrees F (204 degrees C) Fine/coarse adjusting knob controls jaw pressure for delicate work. Speed Control Handle model 239 sold separately. The easy-to-use Ball Joint Clamp System utilizes single knob controls for head movement through 3 planes. The vise features compatibility with all PanaVise base mounts and many other accessories.

Great for small crafts, hobbies and soldering
Style: Miniature Vise
For years I have seen the PanaVise Model 301 vise in stores and never purchased one. I never liked the design of the 301 head for what I need a small vise for. Then I discovered that Amazon carried all the PanaVise models and accessories. I liked the look and design of the Model 201 PV Jr. At first I was skeptical about the plastic jaws thinking they would be cheap even though the specs said thermal plastic. And the rest of the black parts on the head assembly would be plastic also. Well the only plastic parts on this vise are the jaws and adjustment knob, and they appear to be of the same high quality thermal plastic nylon. It has a very fine thread to open and close the jaws (which is what I wanted). It just takes a while to go from full open to full close. Don't worry PanaVise makes a speed control handle (Model 239 and on Amazon for less than $3.50) that will speed this up using all your fingers like on a door knob or just a single index finger in the hole and spin. It's made of the same high quality thermal plastic and snaps on firmly with no tools. For the model railroader (like myself), PCB builder and other delicate craft and hobby users you will love this vise. I do. If you want to add an additional base to this vise then I would suggest the PanaVise Model 308 cast iron base (also on Amazon). It weighs in at 5 lbs and makes this vise rock solid. For delicate work get the Model 204 neoprene jaw pads. You will not be dissapointed with this vise.

immeasurably better than the "helping hands"
Style: Miniature Vise
My dad has been using this mini vise for over a decade now, and I love it so much I finally had to get my own. If you solder, build models, work on small gadgets, or put together or paint any sort of small craft, I can't recommend this vise enough. The plastic clamps are soft enough that they won't damage most things, and if I need guaranteed softness, I just put a microfiber cloth between the clamps and the item. The base is heavy enough that you don't really need to screw it to anything, but you absolutely could. I use it mostly for soldering small PCBs and P2P wired projects, and it is immeasurably better than one of those junky "helping hands" things with alligator clips and a magnifying glass. Easy to adjust and use, versatile, well-built, and supremely useful for crafting/making/building/assemblying. Get one! Get two!

Works great, def recommended
Style: Miniature Vise
Very bice and heavy. It feels sturdy and not cheap. It holds onto the boards well and does not slip. It is very straightforward and easy to use and adjust the tightness of the vise. Only thing I need now is the mount for convenience :D

Handy, For Intended Use...
Style: Miniature Vise
As long as I limit use of this vise to the intended purpose and recognize the limitations...this is a handy little vise. However, as you know, does not replace the need for a 6" cast-iron vise on the garage workbench. Also, go ahead and purchase the #239 'speed control handle' with the #201 Junior for another $3.49. I don't understand why its not already included by PanaVise? So I really give this little vise 5 for functionality/concept and manufacturing quality. But material quality (more so material selection) is 3-4 at best. Time, and limit the abuse, will tell the durability story. One feature, included intentional/unintentional in the design, is the end-of-travel stop on the lead-screw comes off if the vise jaws are opened beyond the maximum 2.875-inch. Not sure if this was intended to prevent user from stripping lead-screw threads in the opening direction...#10-24 lead-screw and spindle-nut are a ferrous metal. Vice jaw is a nylon material and the base is cast aluminum... Modification; I had some (roughly) 2-inch diameter round-base magnets (RB50CX6) on hand so I decided to attach them to the #201 Junior vise. The magnets had ~13/64-inch (5mm) hole in the middle that I enlarged to 1/4-inch to match the the vise base mounting holes. I added some 2-inch wide Gorilla Clear Repair Tape to the bottom of the magnets to protect surface from damage during attachment/removal of the magnetic base... Mod allows me to attach the vice to a QuadHands base-plate for stability and increase usefulness of the both the PanaVise #201 Junior and the QuadHands Deluxe workbench. In addition, the weight and surface area of the magnets attached to the base also improved vice stability when just setting on the workbench. Overall I recommend this little vice for hobbies / electronics and other lite-duty projects.

The little Panavise that can
Style: Miniature Vise
If you're working on items that generally fit in a hand: cellphones, calculators, small PCB electronics, etc., Panavise Junior will work. Unlike its bigger brother, PanaVise 300 Standard Base it will unlikely tip over since hand sized objects may not be big enough to offset the vise's center of gravity. Its easy enough to screw mount it to a larger flat piece of scrap wood, or as I do, zip tie it to a 5 pound barbell weight plate temporarily. As is, and without extra bulk it makes it easier to transport and use. The jaws are made of plastic, but can resist some amount of heat. However, it won't take being hit directly by a soldering iron. Its rigid enough to hold firmly, and its amazing something made so cheaply work so well. The box says its made in USA, but there are no marks to suggest the same. The vise is made to hold items, while a helping hand Cables To Go Helping Hands with Magnifier is more for smaller items, like holding wires on a PCB, so they complement rather than replace each other. Panavises vises hold value well; auction sites often have 30+ year old used models that fetch 50%+ the cost of new models, or accessories. Older models are much heftier and better finished. There is one option available as of this writing, a wheel you can overlay onto the thumbscrew so you can spin the screw with your finger to get the jaws moving faster. Cons The finish is fairly crude. Its rough and not the same quality of materials and workmanship of the original Panavise from the 1980s, but it works just as well, and thus, can be forgiven. There are no other vise accessories that fit this base, as of this writing, but the Junior head can be purchased for the standard 300 bases, but it cost as much as the whole Junior! The screw used in the vise is fairly fine, so it takes a lot of turning to get it to open completely. The $5 wheel accessory should be included with the unit, not as an accessory. Despite a lot of copying by counterfeit makers of many electronic products, this is one item I've never seen as counterfeit, so most Panavises I see are genuine, this is one of them.

Can’t praise it enough!
Style: Miniature Vise
I’m in love with my Panavise Junior. The rotate-and-tilt function has revolutionized my wire weaving & jewelry making. I showed it off to my Facebook group of jewelry crafters and they fell in love too! So if Panavise gets a run on the Junior vise for Christmas 2024, you’re welcome!

Beautifully crafted and functional vise for small work.
Style: Miniature Vise
I got this and a pair of the Model 301 vises to facilitate working on a model ship I'm starting on. I read the few negative reviews at Amazon on both models but went ahead with the purchase because I prefer to buy American on those extremely rare instances where it's possible. Bam! Score! Both models are exquisitely well made and functional. They do exactly what I need for them to do and I couldn't be happier. Excellent quality. One "feature" I needed was the option to mount these to a board I could move around my worktable. Most other options were the kind that c-clamped to a tabletop. Those would not work for me. That narrowed down the field as well. I need to clamp both ends of the keel of my 48" model ship to a fixture that will allow me to move the ship around while I work on various parts of the ship. That's what the model 301's will be used for - attached to either ends of a 1" thick MDF base. This 201 will be used to hold individual smaller parts while I'm working on them - masts, spars and the like. I'll mount this to a small board as well to provide a more solid base for the delicate work or shaping, polishing, painting, rigging etc. on small parts. Expensive compared to the off-shore models offered in great numbers at this site? Yes, they are. Worth every penny? Indeed!

Great, and came with a bonus!
Style: Miniature Vise
I use this little vise to hold printed circuit boards when soldering. It holds the boards securely without damaging them. The tilting and rotating ability lets me set the board exactly where I want it, and at the exact angle I want. I have a very limited work area, and the small size is perfect. It weighs 1.17 lbs and the base is wide enough that knocking it over would be nearly impossible. I've chosen not to mount it to my work table as I like the freedom of being able to move it from one place to another. This really is a great "third hand" for hobby projects. And the folks at PanaVise may be reading these reviews because my vise came with the Speed Control Handle included for free. I thought that was a nice touch.
