ANEX's design is well thought out down to the smallest detail:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eRubberized jaws hold the band firmly and completely scratch-free – even polished links are not damaged\u003cbr\u003eThe driven-out pin does not fall out, but remains inside the vise due to its design – no more searching on the workshop floor\u003cbr\u003eWeighted base with non-slip elastomer bottom: The vise stands firmly and stably, leaving both hands free for pin removers and hammers\u003cbr\u003eBrass threaded spindle for sensitive, durable clamping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBeyond band shortening, the APV-35 is a versatile helper – for example, for holding small parts when drilling or for fine crafting and soldering work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eANEX (Anex Tool Co.) manufactures in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture – the heart of the Tsubame-Sanjo region, which has been considered Japan's forging and tool capital for centuries and is now known for world-class precision tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat distinguishes this tool from European counterparts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe band holders commonly used in Europe are simple plastic blocks with slots into which the band is merely inserted – the band can slip when driving out, and the pin shoots out uncontrollably. The APV-35, on the other hand, clamps the band like a real vise, and the pin-catching design simply does not exist in European tools: anyone who has ever searched for a 0.8 mm pin on the floor will appreciate this difference. The rubber jaws are also available as a spare part (ANEX APV-35R) – the tool is designed for continuous operation, not wear and tear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e41 × 35 × 35 mm, jaw width 35 mm\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Polycarbonate\/rubber, brass spindle, iron weight (weighted base)\u003cbr\u003eReference: ANEX APV-35\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew, original packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNote\u003cbr\u003eImproper use of tools can damage watches.
