I'd love a hitch vice but not really in my budget currently. generally if I need stuff "held down" I'll c clamp or other wise get it fastened to the trailer.
I did the big truck drum with a vice and it is pretty handy for stuff and I can tilt it and roll it around like a cylinder .
the vice came from an employer who was throwing it away as the jaws were "stuck" and the horse shoe collar has been unceremoniously removed by force before it came into my possession. I made one then discovered a guy can buy a brand new one directly from Wilton. I did weld up the holes redrill and tap so the collar would work. I'm wanting a pipe jaw as one was missing so I have to buy a set one of these days.
I cut out a mounting plate from 3/16" flat and welded it onto a 6x6 piece of square tubing as the riser. I didn't think trying to weld to the drum was a good idea so I cut out a circle from the 3/16" plate and "cut" holes in it for some allthread , washers and nuts to hold it to the drum.
I like this one with the old bowling ball. might try to do it one of these days. adjust it to your hearts content. haha
