Jaw material and design impact both the durability of the clamp and the protection of your workpieces. Sturdy materials like steel or aluminum provide long-lasting performance, while features like non-marring pads, wide jaws, or dovetail profiles help distribute pressure evenly and prevent surface damage. For example, the FEIN 90701004020 VersaMAG Vise Set offers robust magnetic jaws for working on a drill press to hold a wood project while drilling or metalwork, and the Microjig DVC-625QCK2 MATCHFIT GRR-RIP Clamp includes a large anti-mar pad to protect wood surfaces. The range of jaw designs available ensures you can select a clamp that is both effective and gentle on your materials.
