Very good pads great product.

Very good pads. I have others and they always say "very strong magnets" and magnets are not like that at all. They are really strong and don't protrude from the ground. I use them for fine work, but I can squeeze hard if necessary. Rubber surfaces cannot do this as the workpiece can knock it off track and hit the metal base outside of light duty applications. Well thought out and designed. Nice addition to my shop.

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Strong magnets and works fairly well

I had one of the old yellow soft plastic inserts that doesn't hold up well. I decided to try these. If you compare the old and new jaws, they are much better. The magnets are strong and hold well. It even takes a little manipulation to make them come loose when removed. They are definitely harder than the soft yellow stuff. If you have something that requires soft jaws, don't use them. The resin is pretty hard. It will likely move with metal, but not softer materials. Turns out this can be used

So far, so good. the best among power tools and hand tools

** Revised update - after my initial update below the company actively contacted me not only to offer me a replacement set but also to ask more specific questions than they had I was using them when the crash happened. They seem keen to fix all the vulnerabilities in order to provide a better product to the public. Indeed, that is what is lacking today and I applaud the efforts. Update - I use them all the time now but took them off the vise today and not 1 but 2 magnets remained on the vise. I

Pros
