This blog explores new Fractal Vise add-ons, including the Dual Vise Adaptor Plate for expanded clamping and mounting options, and the 32mm to 82mm Conversion Kit for easy size upgrades.

From spinning sticks to space-age drills, we take a whistle-stop tour through 35,000 years of drilling history.

Awls, bow drills, Roman augers, breast drills, and the twist bit that changed everything—each invention built on the last in humanity’s never-ending quest to make holes faster, cleaner, and with more satisfying torque.

Power tools may have taken over, but manual drills still hold a special place in our hands (and hearts). Quiet, precise, and endlessly tactile—just the way we like them at MetMo.

If you love putting holes in wood the old-school way, you’ll want to give this one a spin.

The Fractal Vise is made up of 17 unique parts and 46 components, each designed with precision and purpose. From the Medium Fractal at the core to the hardened Small Fractals and symmetrical Upper Fixed Jaws, every element plays a role in delivering smooth, reliable clamping. The Stub Shaft controls movement, aided by a brass ring for silky turns, while the Posts of Power and guiding dowels keep everything aligned and running true. Even the silicone base and cross bar are carefully considered for grip and adjustability.

Behind the scenes, a mix of hardened steels, over-engineered fasteners, and thoughtful upgrades ensure strength, durability, and a satisfyingly refined experience. It’s compact, clever, and overbuilt in all the right ways—because why settle for less?
