Good day all. I have a question concerning an old Stanley No. 700
bench vice that has soft pads. I bought it at a yard sale and for 5
bills it was worth it after a little elbow grease , however the soft
pads, that resemble a type of brownish material about 1/4" thick
similar to peg board material seems to be worn. Would anyone know what
type material it is or what would be a good substitute. If necessary
I'll supply a picture. Thanks and have a safe day... Ray

Five bills??? No vice is worth $500

Sheesh, youse guys. Vise. VISE. A $500 VISE is over the top. A $5 VICE is
inconvenient, but hardly debilitating.
