Home Depot is selling this Ridgid Top-Screw Bench Chain Vise for $93. It’ll grip 1/8″ to 2-1/2″ diameter pipe for threading, as well as odd-profile workpieces. The vise also features posts for bending pipe — it’s worth looking for on eBay and your other used tool sources.

Ridgid makes a number of bench chain vises:

They also produce Yoke-Style pipe vises and chain vises that are handy for holding pipe sections for welding. Their vises are also made in a style with a c-clamp mechanism – so they can be clamped to a bench for temporary use. We have several Ridgid and Reed brand vises in the shop – have yoke vises mounted on a number of our trucks.
What we use mostly are tripod stand vises – the Ridgid 425 being favored by my guys because of it relatively light weight making it easier to lug up stairs etc. If I were to buy any more – I think I’d consider a Reed 450GB.Reed is also now making a yoke vise stand to handle Plastic Coated pipe without destroying the coating.
