Long time no see – we’re back! Following the huge success of Tiruler, we’re excited to introduce our next fascinating product: Tivise!

3-level fractal vise

Guess you’ve already seen it—it’s a fractal vise with three level of clamping power!

Ever been in this situation? You’re working on a DIY project or doing precision work with small parts, but you don’t have the right tool to secure them firmly—leading to failed operations or frantic, clumsy moments.

Then you’ll want to check out Tivise—the titanium fractal vise that makes your work easier and way more fun!

Tivise features three adaptive fractal layers, giving it unmatched versatility to handle even the most complex and irregular clamping tasks with ease.

First level lockable

When handling delicate small parts, ​locking the first level​ enables secure and effortless clamping of miniature components.

For most clamping needs, ​keeping the first level unlocked​ is perfectly sufficient.

Multiple jaw material options

The final-stage fractal jaws offer four material options with varying hardness levels—tailored to your specific clamping needs.

 Titanium/Steel jaw

*Standard titanium/steel fractal jaws – premium hardness (300-350 HB) for maximum clamping force on rigid workpieces.

Brass jaws

*Brass jaws – a soft metal option (80-100 HB) ideal for securing moderately hard components while protecting surface finishes.

Nylon jaws

*Nylon jaws – a durable engineering plastic (80 Shore D) offering optimal balance between hardness and flexibility, ideal for securing semi-rigid components while protecting surface integrity.

Silicone jaws

*Silicone jaws – an ultra-elastic, insulating material (60 Shore A) designed for fragile components requiring minimal clamping pressure and maximum surface protection.

Quick-change jaws

Need to switch jaws? No problem!​​ Our quick-change system lets you swap jaws in seconds – go from delicate to heavy-duty in a snap, ready for whatever workpiece comes next!

Magnetic storage box

Now, let’s zoom in on Level 1 of the fractal design. You’ve probably spotted those two elongated slots on the edges – and yes, those cleverly placed magnets on the sides!

Exactly! This is where your storage boxes go – they hook onto the long slots and snap into place with the magnets, so you can attach or detach them in seconds.

Working with tiny DIY parts?​​ If you leave them on the table, they’ll probably escape! Just snap on a storage box—keep everything contained and right at your fingertips.

Functional expandability

Wait, there’s more!​​ Let’s level up this fractal vise with another trick: ​snap a 5X magnifier onto the screw slot—perfect for when you’re deep in precision work and need those tiny details crystal clear.

Or go wild with accessories!​​ Clip on two holders for blueprints, paint pots, or whatever helps your workflow—you’ll probably come up with hacks we haven’t even dreamed of yet!

Multi-purpose adapter plate

Dealing with extra-long workpieces?​​ No sweat! Just connect two Tivise vices side-by-side using our adapter plate—suddenly, those big, awkward items become a breeze to clamp!

Whether you’re using one Tivise or two, our adapter plate lets you securely mount them to your workbench—so everything stays locked in place during heavy-duty projects.

Desktop clamping module

Tivise just got even more versatile!​​ Check out our desktop clamping kit—it comes with a ball-joint mount that lets you attach your vise to any workbench edge and swivel it into the perfect angle. Work comfortably from any position!

Maximum clamping width: 49mm(1.93″).

1/4″ universal thread

Here’s a cool detail:​​ Tivise’s base features a standard 1/4″ threaded tripod mount – yes, the exact same screw size used for camera gear! This means you can:

✓ Mount it on photography tripods for mobile workstations
✓ Attach to mini clamps or boom arms for tricky angles
✓ Even use existing camera accessories you already own

Tivise isn’t just a tool – it’s your creative partner. We can’t wait to see the amazing ways you’ll use it!

Spirit level

Tivise has some cool little tricks too! Check this out – built right into both sides of the base are cylinder levels. When you’re doing precision work, these bad boys will be your best friends.

Auxiliary scale

Check this out – both guide rods have laser-etched scales! Metric on one side, imperial on the other. We’ve marked the ‘MAX’ line where Tivise works best, but hey, you can open it wider or even split it in two (just know the grip might get weaker when the jaws are too far apart).

Dual-length version

Tivise offers two clamping widths—45mm(1.77″) and 90mm(3.54″). And yes, you can easily switch between them by swapping the base units!

Non-slip base design

Both Tivise base units feature non-slip silicone pads underneath—they grip your work surface like gecko feet, keeping everything rock-steady and ready for action.

Deeper jaw depth

Tivise’s got 22mm(0.87″) tall jaws – that’s some serious gripping power!

we built Tivise to be great at what it does, but we know you’ll make it do things we never imagined. Seriously, some of your hacks will probably make us say: ‘Wait… that’s genius! Why didn’t i think of that?

Specifications

We offer two material versions and two clamping length options.

*The steel version is really heavy—yes, I mean really. The 45mm steel version weighs ~1840g (4.06lb), while the titanium one is only 1200g (2.65lb). So shipping will cost slightly more for steel. Either way, I’d recommend titanium—lighter yet strong enough.
