The Mobile Setup is a complete portable workstation built for users who need a capable, adaptable vise system without committing to a permanent bench installation. It combines the full functionality of the IQ Vise⢠with a flexible mounting system, interchangeable vise jaws, and the IQ Connect® Hands-Free Accessory System to create a mobile workbench solution that performs across garages, job sites, and temporary work areas. Every component is designed to work together as a unified system that improves positioning, visibility, and control while reducing setup limitations and workspace constraints.
At the center of The Mobile Setup is the IQ Vise, constructed from hardened steel and cast aluminum to deliver long-term durability while maintaining manageable weight for transport and repositioning. The articulating ball and socket design allows full rotation and articulation, giving users precise control over workpiece positioning for cutting, drilling, sanding, sharpening, repair, and assembly tasks. The Quick Cam⢠mechanism enables fast locking and unlocking of the ball joint, allowing immediate adjustments without interrupting workflow. The IQ Lok⢠system secures the vise in eight defined working positions and holds firm under torque loads up to 130ft-lbs, ensuring stability during high-force applications. Steel jaw plates provide a secure base grip and are magnet compatible, expanding utility with magnetic accessories and jaw upgrades.
The included IQ Vise Jaws⢠ā Flex-Fit⢠deliver versatile gripping capability for a wide range of materials and shapes. One side features textured, non-marring rubber that holds flat surfaces such as wood, metal, and composite materials securely without damage. The reverse side incorporates multiple grooves and angled channels that stabilize round stock, pipe, tubing, threaded rod, and irregular shapes. This dual-sided design allows fast adaptation between different tasks without changing tools, making it well suited for general repair, woodworking, mechanical work, and maintenance.
The addition of IQ Vise Jaws ā Sure-Fit⢠further expands gripping precision for delicate, irregular, or complex parts. The compression foam side conforms to uneven shapes and protects sensitive materials from damage while maintaining a firm hold. The reverse side uses a rigid, multi-grooved nylon surface to secure cylindrical and flat materials with repeatable positioning. This combination allows users to handle everything from fragile components to small mechanical parts with confidence and control.
The Quick-Detach Mount Hardware system provides three distinct mounting methods that support permanent, semi-permanent, and fully portable installation. The hardware accommodates a wide range of bench materials, thicknesses, and access conditions, allowing the IQ Vise to be securely mounted to a workbench, countertop, or temporary surface. The system includes a dual-threaded sleeve mount with washers and nut, a threaded insert with 6mm hex drive, and a T25 TorxĀ® lag screw option. A 1/4" hex drive interface, a 1/4"-20 bolt with ergonomic knob, and side-positioned tightening holes for locking pins enable fast installation and removal without sacrificing holding strength. This approach allows users to mount the vise when needed and remove it quickly for storage or transport, maintaining a clean and flexible workspace.
The IQ Connect Hands-Free Accessory System transforms the vise into a fully supported workstation by adding lighting, magnification, and device positioning exactly where it is needed. The system includes a Work Light, Magnifying Glass, and Cell Phone Holder, along with multiple mounting options that extend functionality beyond the vise itself. Each accessory connects using a flexible gooseneck and IQ Connect clip, allowing precise placement and repositioning during tasks.
The IQ Connect Work Light delivers 180 lumens of adjustable illumination with low, high, and spotlight modes to improve visibility in low-light or obstructed work areas. The integrated rechargeable battery supports extended use, while the removable light body with magnetic base and clip allows independent use as a handheld or mounted light source. The IQ Connect Magnifying Glass features a large 5-inch viewing area with dual magnification levels, enabling detailed work such as fine assembly, inspection, and reading small markings. The IQ Connect Cell Phone Holder provides stable, hands-free positioning for recording work, viewing instructional content, or maintaining communication during projects.
The IQ Connect ā Clamp Mount and Magnetic Mount extend accessory placement beyond the vise and onto surrounding surfaces. The Clamp Mount attaches securely to edges and surfaces up to 2.25 inches thick and includes four accessory ports for multi-tool positioning, with configurable orientation to accommodate workspace constraints. The Magnetic Mount uses six N52 rare earth magnets to attach firmly to ferrous metal surfaces such as tool cabinets, equipment, vehicle components, and structural steel. Both mounts allow users to position lighting, magnification, and device support exactly where needed, improving efficiency and reducing repositioning time.
The Mobile Setup is engineered as a modular, portable workholding and task support system that adapts to changing environments and project demands. It enables precise work positioning, secure material holding, improved visibility, and hands-free assistance without requiring a dedicated workbench installation. This system is suited for DIY projects, woodworking, mechanical repair, tool maintenance, fabrication, and field work where flexibility and performance are required in a compact, transportable format.
