Description
Anybody who has fought a wobbly rifle across the workbench while trying to run a bore brush or torque a scope ring knows the value of a vise that stays put. The Lyman Revolution HD is built to end that fight. At 16.5 pounds it sits heavy and planted, giving you a stable base whether you are running a quick cleaning session or handling detailed work that needs both hands free.
The backbone here is a pair of sturdy aluminum frames and a center beam tied together with thick stainless steel connecting rods. That combination is what gives this vise its rigidity, and the added weight over the original Revolution is a direct answer to folks who wanted something that would not shift under pressure. Rubber feet keep it from sliding around on your bench top, and the adjustable feet let you level things out on surfaces that are not perfectly flat.
What the Revolution HD Rotation Does for You
The center beam swings a full 180 degrees and locks in every 6.5 degrees, so you can roll a firearm into just about any position and lock it there. That is a real advantage when you are chasing carbon out of a barrel or trying to get the right angle on a set of scope rings. The padded gun clamps give you 2 inches of height adjustment and space anywhere from 3 to 17 inches apart, so everything from a compact carbine to a long hunting rifle fits without a wrestling match.
Built to Grip on the Revolution HD Clamps
Big knobs let you crank the clamps down tight against the buttstock and forend, and the rubber padding protects your finish while it holds. For AR builders and owners, the included magazine well support post spreads to lock firmly into the lower, killing off the front-to-back play that makes AR work frustrating. Between the rotation, the adjustable clamps, and the mag well post, the Revolution HD covers a wide range of rifles and gives you a solid platform for maintenance, cleaning, and light gunsmithing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Revolution HD hold an AR-15 securely?
Yes. The vise comes with an AR magazine well support post that spreads to lock firmly into the lower receiver, which kills off the front-to-back movement that makes AR work a pain. Between that post and the padded clamps, your AR stays put while you clean, swap parts, or mount optics.
How far apart do the clamps adjust on the Lyman Revolution HD?
The padded clamps can be spaced anywhere from 3 to 17 inches apart along the aluminum crossbeam. They also offer 2 inches of height adjustment. That range covers most everything from short carbines to full-length hunting rifles without any hassle.
Does the vise actually rotate, and can you lock it in place?
It does. The center beam rotates a full 180 degrees and locks in position every 6.5 degrees, so you can roll a firearm to just about any angle and hold it there. That makes reaching awkward spots for cleaning or torquing scope rings a lot easier.
Will the clamps scratch or mar my rifle's finish?
The gun clamps are rubber padded specifically to protect your finish while still gripping tight. The large knobs let you crank them down firmly on the buttstock and forend without the padding letting go. It holds solid while keeping your wood or synthetic stock safe.
