No-pinch vise handle
Jul 21, 2010
My bench vise is a substantial cast-iron model with a beefy metal handle. When the handle drops vertically, it is not only noisy but also painful if your fingers are in the way. After pinching my fingers one time too many, I softened the impact by wrapping the ends of the bar with rubber bands. It works great.
