- Electrically Isolated, Non-Marring Nylon Jaws
- Vise Jaws Mounted on a Split-Ball Joint: 90° Tilt, 360° Turn, and 360° Rotation
- Nominal Dimensions of Jaws: 2.5" (63.5 mm) Wide x 0.5" (12.7 mm) Tall with 2.25" (57.2 mm) Jaw Capacity
- Height: 6.25" (158.8 mm)

The PV1 Pana Vise can be secured to a working surface in three places using the Ø1/4" (6.35 mm) countersunk mounting holes, which are located on a bolt circle that is 4.31" (109.5 mm) in diameter. The Pana Vise's nylon jaws help to reduce unintended marring, and are mounted on a post that slides into a split-ball joint. This arrangement enables the vise jaws to turn 360° on the post as well as rotate 360° and tilt 90° using the ball, allowing for a multitude of arrangements. All three degrees of freedom are locked down using a single locking knob, which makes the Pana Vise easy to orient so that the part being held can be worked on at the optimal angle.
