DEF 4" Vise Jaws Pads with magnetic, Soft Vice Jaws Cover, Multi-Purpose Protector for Any Metal Bench Vice, Set of 2, inch, Black

Useful upgrade for your vice; retaining magnets eventually come loose

I got these to protect fragile parts I need to work on in the vice. It is a must have if you don't want to damage a part that needs to be secured in the vice while drilling it or whatever else you may need to do to it.

Very good protection for what you are clamping in the vise

Black, 4" long with pre-shaped grooving to grip round and odd shaped materials. I believe these soft jaws will work well if used gently for more delicate materials. Feels like the material could become gouged and/or crack/split if too much vise pressure is placed upon them.Plenty of magnet power to keep them in place.

Love that these pads.Strong-ish magnets on both flanges: A lot of the pads I have seen (and purchased) on Amazon have only one set of small magnets on one side of pad. This holds well in the vertical plane but allows the horizontal plane to detach from the vise! Becomes a pain to constantly be fiddling with. This product have magnets on BOTH flanges which significantly reduce the fiddle-factor. :) I do think even stronger magnets would be nice esp for projects where you are constantly tightening and then moving the piece, adjusting etc. The pads still want to wander a little. But overall... very happy with theseInterchangeable pad faces: Because there are magnets on both flanges of the pads, you can quickly and easily flip them and alternate between the a complete flat/smooth face and a grooved face (with channels to assist in holding at different angles 90, 180, 45).Material:The material is a hard non-marring plastic. It appears durable but only time will tell. There is no rubber so this is not the softest of jaw pads but is great for soft metals like aluminium.Great product. Highly recommend.

Works Well.

The magnetic jaw pads are very durable and are great for the price. I do a lot of work with wood and they hold the wood tightly without leaving marks on the wood. They work well for me.

As far as protecting your work piece, they're great! The magnets that help the covers stay in place are worthless. They're good magnets, if they would stay attached to the jaw covers. The first time I used them one of the magnets came out. By the 3rd or 4th time I had used them, all the magnets had fallen out. I tried to glue them back in, but to no avail. The magnets need to be molded in, not glued on. That would make them really nice!

It is hard plastic, so very useful for clamping various metalwork items. Magnets are strong ones; they however collect chip, and eventually pop out being simply glued there.

The Jaws I received are both the same side. So it does not mirror correctly. Seems this happens random while ordering this product based on other reviews. Aside from that the quality is fine and they attached just fine on my 4inch vise. Will likely return and get another set hoping they are the correct match. 3 stars due to the hassleEdit: returned the 1st order and got another set, the new set is perfect with correct mirroring on the groves. Everything lines up.

These pads work fine, but I've had to re-glue one or magnets. The re-glued magnets stay in, but I'm expecting others to let go any time. Not a major problem for me.

The magnets are strong but the holes they are nestled in are slightly too big or the magnets are not glued down. So the magnet will slip out as pull the plastic pads off the vice.

Well made, just what I needed. I even like the fact that they are not orange.
