Holding a workpiece in a vice without marking the surface requires soft-faced jaw inserts that protect the finish while still providing the grip needed for the work being carried out. The Sykes Pickavant 53311500 Rubber Covered Jaws are 150mm-wide insert jaws designed to fit Sykes Pickavant 150mm vices, providing rubber-faced gripping surfaces that protect machined, painted, or otherwise finished workpieces from vice-jaw marking.
Rubber-covered jaws are particularly useful in body shop and detailing work where the workpiece carries paint or polished surfaces that would be damaged by direct contact with steel vice jaws. The rubber face provides sufficient grip for the workpiece to be held during light to moderate work — drilling, light filing, fastener removal — without the marking that would result from direct steel-jaw contact.
The 150mm width matches the Sykes Pickavant 150mm vice format, providing full-width coverage of the vice jaws. Equivalent 180mm rubber-covered jaws (53318000) are available for the larger 180mm vice format, allowing workshops with mixed vice sizes to standardise on rubber jaw protection across their bench equipment.
Within the wider Sykes Pickavant vice jaw insert range, alternative jaw inserts cover specific applications — fibre-covered jaws for less aggressive grip, prism/vee jaws for round workpieces, and polyurethane jaws with serrated or grooved profiles for specific gripping requirements.
Sykes Pickavant has been supplying professional vice and bench equipment for decades, and the rubber-covered jaw range reflects the brand's modular approach to vice configuration for different workshop applications.
Additional Information

- Equipped with an extremely powerful magnetic strip which easily attaches the jaw to the vice and ensures a rapid setup.
- The magnetic strip is only magnetic against the vice jaws and will not attract debris or fillings to the clamping surface nor magnetize the clamped parts.
- Features an extremely powerful neodymium magnetic strip. Holding force for a 100mm jaw is 3.5kg equivalent to 34N, for instance.
- These Magnetic Jaws can also be used in combination with one another. For instance, for taper pins or thin walled tubes use the Neutral or Prism / Vee Pipe together with the Rubber option. For irregularly profiled parts with one flat surface use the Fibre covered on the flat surface and the rubber covered on the profiled side.
