Soft-faced vice jaw inserts allow workpieces to be held securely without marking the finish — essential when working on painted panels, machined surfaces, or polished components. The Sykes Pickavant 53318000 Rubber Covered Jaws are 180mm-wide insert jaws designed to fit the Sykes Pickavant 180mm vice, providing full-width rubber-faced gripping surfaces.
The rubber face provides enough grip for the workpiece to be held during routine work — drilling, light filing, fastener removal — while protecting machined, painted, or polished surfaces from the marking that direct steel-jaw contact would cause. This makes rubber-covered jaws a standard fitting in body shop, detailing, and finishing work where surface protection is essential.
The 180mm width matches the larger Sykes Pickavant 180mm vice format, providing full-width coverage of the vice jaws. The equivalent 53311500 covers the smaller 150mm 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 (53321800 in 180mm) for moderate grip with less marking risk than rubber, prism/vee jaws (53331800 in 180mm) for round workpieces, and polyurethane jaws with serrated or grooved profiles for specialist 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 surface-sensitive workshop applications.
