Description of πŸ” Yost Vises MA 340 Magnetic Aluminum: A Superior Solution for Secure and Versatile Holding

Jaw caps attach to and cover a set of 4"-wide serrated vise jaws to shield delicate work from damage. Aluminum provides durability, and the smooth grooved surface provides enhanced grip while preventing the clamped item from being marred. Magnetic backing runs the full length of the cap to securely bond it to the front of the vise jaw. Country of origin: Taiwan.

I love my Yost vise

I love my Yost vise, it complements it perfectly, is affordable and saves you from marking softer metals and surfaces. For really soft materials you may still need a plastic kit.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Available in black only

You should have rare earth magnets like neodymium magnets

Ribbon magnets are too weak. They must have rare earth magnets such as neodymium magnets. I need aluminum pads to protect the parts, but they keep falling off the vise jaws.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Workmanship

I was hesitant to buy these after reading several reviews about the quality of the magnets. However, I bought them to replace the $10 plastic jaws I had previously bought from Amazon which had trash magnets that fell out and were very flimsy. These Yosts do the job for the most part and the tolerance with which the jaws were made is the highlight. keep these.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
