We have compiled a list of American manufacturers who produce bench, machinists, woodworking and fly-tying vises, right here in the USA.
We have manually verified that all 11 of these companies produce vises here in the USA, although some of these companies might also manufacture similar products that are produced in other countries as well.
A lot of times it is difficult to find information on a website as to the country of origin of a particular item, so we've taken additional steps to verify that information.
We have also included links to popular retailers where you can find and compare the latest prices, shipping costs, customer reviews, special offers and more, if available.
