The RIDGID 40080 21A Bench Yoke Vise is exactly what you expect from a company that has been a staple in the plumbing trade for generations. This pipe vise securely clamps tubing from 1/8-inch to 2-inch, using a sturdy screw-driven yoke and hardened alloy steel jaws to give you a dependable grip for cutting, threading, or reaming. When the jaws eventually show wear, the RIDGID 21A is designed so replacement jaws can be installed, letting you restore the vise without buying a new unit.
This bench yoke vise is built around an iron yoke and base, the same rugged material choice that has made RIDGID synonymous with tough plumbing tools. The hardened alloy steel jaws resist wear and hold pipe firmly, so you can work with confidence. The yoke-style clamping design uses a single screw to bring both jaws together quickly, which is simple to operate and easy to maintain.
If your vise sees daily use, the jaws are the first part to wear. The RIDGID 21A's jaw design is straightforward to service: remove the retaining screws, slide out the worn jaws, and insert new ones. Using the right replacement jaws and securing them to the correct torque keeps the vise working like new. It's one of the reasons a RIDGID yoke vise can outlast several cheaper vises.
Included with the vise is a handy pipe rest that steadies long pieces and a bender for making small bends without extra tools. The pipe rest connects to the base and can be repositioned to support different pipe lengths. The bender gives you extra leverage when you need to shape or align tubing.
This is a professional-grade working tool for plumbers, pipefitters, and serious DIYers who spend time on metal or plastic pipe. Its 1/8-inch to 2-inch capacity covers standard residential plumbing and light commercial work. If you're looking for a bench vise that can handle pipe and still be ready for heavy use in the shop, this is it.

A bench yoke vise is a long-term investment, but jaws eventually wear. The RIDGID 40080 is designed with serviceability in mind: the hardened alloy steel jaws can be replaced when they lose their bite. That simple feature can save you the cost of a whole new vise and keep your workbench fully functional.
The yoke-style design uses a single screw to draw the jaws together around the pipe. The screw is large and easy to turn, so you can quickly secure or release the pipe. The iron base and yoke distribute clamping pressure evenly, preventing pipe distortion and giving you a stable work point.
Before you start, clean the vise and inspect the jaw slots for grit. Remove the screws with the correct wrench, then lift out the old jaws. Wipe the slot clean, slide in the new jaws, and tighten the screws in a crisscross pattern. A drop of thread locker on the screws helps prevent them from loosening under vibration.
Not all pipe vises are alike. A yoke vise is the go-to choice for many plumbers because of its simple clamping action and durability. If you work on larger pipe, consider a chain vise; for occasional use, a lighter bench vise may suffice. The RIDGID 40080 hits a practical balance for most residential and light commercial trades.
Yes. The 21A is designed with replaceable jaws. Replacement jaws are sold separately; if you need help finding the correct part, contact our support team and we'll point you in the right direction.
First, loosen the retaining screws that hold the jaws in place. Then slide the worn jaws out of the yoke slots, position the replacement jaws, and re-tighten the screws evenly. Check your manual for recommended torque specifications.
It holds pipe and tubing from 1/8-inch to 2-inch (3 mm to 50 mm) in diameter.
Yes, bench-mounted. The base has pre-drilled holes for mounting bolts (not included) and it should be secured firmly before use.
Yes, the included pipe rest can be repositioned along the base to support different pipe lengths.
Classic Ridgid quality.
The vise is built like a tank. It holds pipe securely and the yoke design lets me work without repositioning.
I've used this vise for decades. It's the same design my dad had. The jaws grip without damaging the pipe. The yoke opens and closes smoothly. It's heavy, but that's a good thing. It's mounted in my shop and will outlast me.
