Stump vice

[Stubby]

All stump vices are shite.

Some are more shite than others I suppose. If you must have one (though I can't see why you'd ever need one?) make sure the screwy bit has a handle or lever, not just a thumb screw or it'll never ever clamp tight enough.

If you already have a thumb screw type vice, drill a hole through the flat bit, and put a small bolt through it for added leverage.

 

The above is true . ( I use pliers on the thumb screw ) Other than that I have found , dependent on wood species , the amount of wallop required to make it stay in the log differs . Some you need to clout it hard to make it stay and in others if you clout it hard it bounces out but will stay with a lighter tap .

This is my one. No problems getting it tight enough or into a stump. First time its been out the van in at least a year though!

I have an Oregon red vice and a table/worktop clampable small vice that I clamp down on to the trailer greedy boards or hitching rail, the best option is to use a heavy bench vice but I'm not lugging round my record no23 in the back of the work vehicles

but I'm not going to change a tow bar just to mount a vice for an hour a week for on the job site sharpening

Its probably a US receiver type hitch - just slides in.
