Custom Soft Jaws for Suspension Work

 What It Does

These precision-machined custom soft jaws are a must-have for working on rear shocks and other suspension components. They grip hard without damaging delicate surfaces like anodized eyelets or painted parts, making them the perfect vise accessory for home mechanics who care about doing it right.

 Sizes Available

• 4-inch width : Standard fit for compact bench vises
• 5-inch width : Great all-rounder for most workbenches
• 6-inch width : Maximum surface grip for large vises

Each pair includes ultra-strong neodymium magnets embedded in the back, the pull strength is wild.

 Why It Matters

Eyelets get scratched and gouged very easily in a metal vise. These soft jaws are textured to lock suspension parts in place without slipping, while preserving the finish on your shock. If you've ever cursed yourself after tearing paint or aluminum off your shock hardware, you’ll know why this matters.

 Huge Safety Warning

Shocks are extremely dangerous if not handled properly.

• Always depressurize both the air can and the damper before doing anything. Both systems can be pressurized and must be safely vented before opening.
• Forgetting to bleed pressure from the damper can result in violent projectiles, there are documented cases of bleed screws shooting through drywall.
• Oil under pressure can spray forcefully and cause injury, wear eye protection and proceed carefully.
• Always read official service manuals before attempting any shock work.
• If you're unsure of your skills, leave it to a professional. Suspension rebuilds at shops typically cost ~$250 CAD and are worth it if you're not ready to DIY.
