Good set of jaws

Have installed many pistol sights at work with these over the past 3 or so years. The adhesive on one side eventually gave out, but a bit of contact adhesive made it as good as new. I maybe wish the magnets were sightly stronger, but that's no big deal. Will be getting a set for my vise at home. 4.5/5

RUBBER-FACED VISE JAWS

These are very good vice pads, fit my vice perfect. Magnets could be a little stronger.

Does what it supposed to

Magnets are not even evident. That said they hold firmly w/o marring so, dont know what else to say.

4 Stars

Does it's job. No complaints.

Lightweight jaws-good pads-poor magnets

Lightweight aluminum angles are a little thin, but sturdy enough. The rubber pads give a good grip and provide some cushion. But as the other reviews noted, the refrigerator magnet strips they use are very weak and just barely hold on to your vice jaws.

A decent product, but magnets are weak.

I use it on my 4" utility vise. It really protects the object being held and still holds very tight. The reason for not giving it 5 stars is the weak magnets. I bought mine about 15 years back and the weak magnets haven't gotten any stronger with time.

A great idea - and it works

I have had these jaw faces for a long time - maybe 15 years or so, and they do a very good job of protecting while holding tight. The magnets however, are weak and the faces fall off when the vise is opened. Other than that, I would have given it 5 stars.
