Bessey BV-NVJ Jaws: Multi-Purpose Vise Attachment for Versatile Use

JJCEO: I purchased these vice jaws to allow me to work on some of my guns. These provide good support for my projects and I like the magnets in the jaws to hold them onto my steel vice. I see that some people complain about them not being strong enough magnets but so far for me they have worked fine. I do have some rare earth magnets that are very powerful and if I have to change the magnets in the future then I will.

I use these to hold the slides of some of my semi-automatic pistols so I can remove the front and rear sights. Many pistols have sights that are hydraulically pressed into place and these vice jaws help to hold the slides in place without marking the surface of the slides.

I like the grooves in the vice jaws that help you to clamp various items in place while you work on them.

Just remember to not tighten your vice too tight on your pistol slide as you can bend, deform or even crack them if you are careless. Using these allowed me to use a brass punch to tap out the old sights and install the new ones.

I am happy with the quality of this product and if I need another pair I’ll reorder these.

Plumb: I bought this to with my new Wilton bullet vice, and I've been very pleased. I used it recently for clamping some mild steel 1" HREW tubes that I didn't want marred by the hardened clamping surfaces on the vice itself. It performed that task perfectly. I may actually get a second set for use just when doing wood working so that I don't inadvertently contaminate my woodworking projects with metal shavings and oil from the metal working and vice versa. If I could have had one thing to make these even better, it'd be even strong magnets. These are pretty strong, you have watch what are you doing to not accidentally slide them around too much when getting ready to place your material in the clamp.

John L Bales: First time used, two days ago. So glad I purchased these vise pads. Used them to hold several jumbo sized knives while I put a new edge on them. Not even a hint of a scratch and they held true w/o a sign of uneven pressure. Held by 2 magnets each, these liners were exactly what was required to safely, yet firmly hold each blade, which meant I could focus on cutting profiles w/ both hands. In the past, I held the knives, one at a time, w/ one hand, resting the back of the blade on my knee while profiling the blade w/ the other hand. Until now, that was by best worst option. Not very safe and not very effective because no matter how steady I tried, invariably I would rock the profiler. But now: Ta-daaaa! I have much better profiles! Yaaa! And I've much less of a chance of getting cut in the process. Yaaaa! Originally I planned to use these for holdin slide uppers w/ parallel sides. The intent was to steady while moving rear sites. Haven't gotten around to that yet, but sure are great for holding knife blades. Thanks Bessey, whoever you are. :). Nice vise liners.

Rebar: First, the jaws that I received are orange. I like the color, just know that you may receive an orange set. The reviews that state the softness of these jaws are absolutely correct. They're actually flexible. So if soft vise jaws are not what you need, then steer clear. They work perfectly for my application which is holding knife blanks during the finishing process. Sanding etc..... The fit and finish is acceptable, but I think the magnets will eventually fall out. They're a little loose right out of the package, but some epoxy will fix the problem if they do fall out. Not a big deal. I love them.

Tractornoodle: Received product as described. Shipping was fast and packaging was adequate. Initial quality is good as they seem to be well built. The material itself so far is non marring and holds fast to a variety of shapes and materiel. I have used these on several gunsmith protects and I am pleased with the performance. Held barrels and slides well with no damage to finish or components. My only complaint is the magnets could be a little stronger. Any mild nudge and you need to reset their position on the vise. Other than that, thumbs up. Would buy again.
