🧲 HHIP 3900 2147 Soft Magnetic Aluminum Review

Magnets are too weak and fall out. Purchased rare earth magnets just the right size. (Master magnets 07047). Pulled out the old magnets, put tiny blobs of JB Weld in each socket and inserted the rare earth magnets. Now they are great.

Decently made jaws for the price. The magnets aren't very strong and 2 of them on one jaw actually came loose and moved without much effort. I replaced those loose magnets with Harbor Freight rare earth magnets. This jaw will not move without intentional force.

Love these jaws, they are well made, fit together well and will protect your work when you need it. The only thing stopping them from being a 5 star product is the weak magnets. They just aren't strong enough and therefore slip off when you need them to stay in place. So I took a chisel to the magnets (I wrapped them in tape first because they are very fragile and break into pieces - put on goggles) and then scraped off the residue and glue with a pick. These things are better than you think…
