Sealey VSJ125 Soft Jaw for Vices, 125mm

Die Backen sind im Winkelbereich magnetsich. Der relativ feste Gummi packt gut zu ohne Spuren zu hinterlassen. Etwas Vorsicht ist lediglich bei ganz weichem Material angesagt.

I’ve found Sealey products to be in the ‘hit or miss’ category. I was a little ambivalent about purchasing these given that and the fact that the rubber section looks especially anorexic in the images provided. I’m glad I went ahead with the purchase. They are appropriate sized, with suitable thickness on the soft section. I’ve clamped several delicate surfaces/pieces (particularly highly polished steel parts and a couple of flimsy plastic parts) in my vice with these jaws and there’s been no marring of the surface or plastic deformation after the application of adequate clamping pressure. This is the benefit of these traditional style soft jaws, of course; the rubber elastically deforms instead of damaging the workpiece. They are very light as you’d expect but the aluminium is sufficiently beefy, rest assured. The magnets are not very strong which means the jaws snap on and off very easily (don’t forget this is supposed to be the case, the lip on the back holds them firmly due to gravity — strong magnets would be, at best, pointless and, at worst, an annoyance).

Not enough time has gone by to assess their long term durability, but they seem to be ok.

Fits my 5 inch vice well and holds the job firmly without any problems, but the magnets are very poor

Bought these to go with my new 'Stanley 183068 MaxSteel Heavy-Duty Bench Vice 150mm 6-inch' and they fit perfectly. They are magnetic which is handy and should protect whatever is in the vice from the normal vice teeth. Happy with my purchase and a fair price.
