Discover 3 Dolex ranges
The vices
For over 105 years, Dolex has been renowned for the quality, robustness and precision of its vices, the result of expertise passed down from generation to generation and constant innovation. Each component is manufactured from a material specially selected for its mechanical properties — strength, friction resistance, elastic limit — to guarantee performance and durability under the stresses of use. The Dolex range is suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly the 50 and 80 series, the latter including models with pipe clamps that are highly appreciated for their practicality. SERAK vices, meanwhile, stand out for their unusual dimensions and provide a solid base for working on ambitious and demanding projects.
Welding tables
Designed, manufactured and approved in our workshops, our welding tables
offer optimal durability and performance with every use.
We offer a wide range of welding tables, designed to suit
all working environments.
Built to last, either alone or in pairs, our Dolex welding tables guarantee
unrivalled stability and working comfort, even in the most demanding
conditions.
Available with three different table top sizes (1000, 1500 or 2000 mm), Dolex welding
tables also offer the possibility of optimising the ergonomics of your
workshops by customising your workspaces. On legs or castors
, with or without drawers, our welding tables meet the expectations
of the most demanding enthusiasts and professionals thanks to their wide
range of accessories.
With a maximum working height of 870 mm and ø16 mm perforations
(ø28 mm available to order), Dolex welding tables combine
robustness, precision and ergonomics.
The tongs
The “Dolex” vice grip pliers, available in 5 models, offer unrivalled advantages.
Featuring jaw teeth designed for enhanced clamping, they combine
ergonomics with sophisticated design. In addition, the
cataphoretic coating on the jaws increases their durability.
The range has been expanded with the addition of welding pliers, featuring Dolex
technology, 100% manufactured in France, designed to offer you a reliable and effective
welding solution thanks to their many qualities and precision.

TESTIMONIALS
The words of those who place their trust in us.
September 2024
Dolex vices are very high quality. I have been using them for several years. They are non-deformable vices, designed to last a lifetime and, of course, are French-made.
May 2023
I use the Dolex S2D-4 soldering iron, a marvel of French engineering! With exceptional features such as easy one-handed clamping, increased durability thanks to the copper-plated screw, and a ball joint that tilts up to 15°, this tool is a must-have for any serious DIY enthusiast. The VP DOLEX brand is synonymous with quality, and I am delighted to own this product. Highly recommended for soldering and much more!
December 2023
I already have a small Dolex metal press that I’m very happy with, so I invested in a carpenter’s press (Dolex 249SR).
It’s very good equipment, with a large opening capacity, super smooth release, and guides that slide perfectly. The product is very well designed.
May 2024
High quality and robustness! This equipment really exudes health! Everything you need to do a good job: I’m a fan.
August 2024
It’s a real pleasure to work with such high-quality tools. Well done to the craftsmen who make and design them. When I need a clamp, Dolex is my first choice. You can buy them with confidence.
June 2023
High-quality clamping systems at VP Dolex. I only use Bessey and VP Dolex clamps for my carpentry work now; they are the gold standard in this field. I am particularly satisfied with products such as Korpus presses for my large solid oak table top assemblies, and EZR presses for everyday use in the workshop, as they are so versatile.
February 2024
I have always been a fan of this brand and have never been disappointed by the quality of its products. Clamps, parallel presses, vices… all reliable and effective equipment!
July 2024
Having made my first wood shavings in a Dolex vice, I can confirm their durability. I haven’t been gentle with it at all, and it has still been working perfectly for years. Now that I’m part of the French cabinetmaking team, I still use my old Dolex clamps and Bessey Korpus clamps, which are super handy for our competitions. Honestly, I recommend Dolex and Bessey equipment. It’s durable and robust, but also well designed to remain practical and easy to use on a daily basis. Bessey clamps are also great. They can be adjusted very quickly thanks to…
