I threw a pair of these together by bending a bit of flat stock I had lting around and then attaching some cut down computer wrist rest pieces (which were also just lying around) to them. Worked like a charm. Not really worth it if you’re just trying to save the $5 you’d pay for a HF set, but I was forced to improvise these when working in a friend’s shop that’s pretty backwoods and didn’t want to wait.

As long as we’re on the subject of who else makes these, Woodstock International also makes similar products:

Cool.

I’ve actually been looking for a decent bench vice. I don’t entirely trust the Harbor Freight or Home Depot specials (had a friend who’s vice came apart while we were clamping something). Does anyone have a recommendation on a quality vice?

Awsome,

It is great to have the ability to put small/ delicate items in your vise…

and for the Sean O’hara Cheap ass point = You only need one vise and a cheap set of these…..

I got a set for $5 at harbour freight on sale……
