Heuer Schraubstock (Bench Vice)

The HEUER bench vice is a globally recognized workshop tool renowned for its precision and durability. Its origins date back to 1925 when the German inventor Josef Heuer developed the first drop-forged steel vice with a revolutionary dual-prism guide track. Unlike cast iron models common at the time, Heuer's forged steel design offered superior strength and was patented in 1927. Production began that same year through a partnership with the Brockhaus family in Plettenberg, Westphalia.

For over 100 years, the brand has maintained its "Made in Germany" commitment, with all production continuing at the Brockhaus HEUER factory in Plettenberg. The manufacturing process utilizes advanced drop-forging techniques and robotic machining to ensure the high standards required for professional use. Today, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Brockhaus HEUER GmbH, an independent German company that has specialized in these high-quality clamping tools for generations. It is distinct from the Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer, sharing only a surname in its history.
