Gibraltar 112528 Vise Jaw Cap 8 in Aluminum Press-on

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 112528 is an aluminum vise jaw cap designed to protect workpieces and vise jaws during clamping operations. This press-on style attachment fits directly over existing vise jaws without fasteners, providing a soft, non-marring surface that prevents damage to finished materials. At 8 inches wide, it accommodates bench vises commonly found in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and trade workshops. The aluminum construction offers durability while remaining softer than steel jaws, making it appropriate for use on soft metals, plastics, and finished surfaces. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals use jaw caps as standard workholding accessories when precision or finish protection is required.

This vise jaw cap is suited for bench vise applications in both residential and commercial shop environments. The press-on attachment method allows for quick installation and removal without tools, making it practical for jobs where the vise transitions between tasks requiring jaw protection and standard clamping. The 8-inch jaw width fits mid- to large-size bench vises. It is a single-piece accessory sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket accessory for bench vises with an 8-inch jaw width. Verify jaw width and press-on fitment against the existing vise model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the cap directly onto the vise jaw faces by hand. No tools, adhesives, or fasteners are required. Ensure the vise is in the open position and clear of any workpiece before seating the jaw caps. Inspect the fit after installation to confirm the caps are fully seated and will not shift under clamping load.
