This is a good idea because let's face it, the things you put in a vise often aren't parallel. I have different attachments for different tasks, which often make my job easier. My only concern is that the jaws are covered in cork, which can't damage the parts but isn't very durable over time.

Pros
  • Best in the Niche
Cons
  • I'll add later

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
