I have a number of small Diacro benders, Beverly shears, vises, anvils,
etc. that I would like to be able to mount and unmount on a bench
conveniently and quickly.

Has anyone designed a quick attachment mount that work for this type of
application? It would need to be able to resist rotational torque from
a bender, vertical downward pressue from a shear and shock from vises
and anvils.

I welcome any and all suggestions.

Buy a short piece of "receiver" tube at a steel yard.
It is 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1/4" wall square tube with no internal seam.

It is normally used for trailer hitch mounts in bumpers, but if you can
weld a plate onto a length of it and bolt that to your bench, you can
simply make up base plates for your tools with a short length of 2" x 2"
square tube welded to the bottom.
