A-4.5, Alumium Jaw Cap with 4-1/2" Jaw Width - Wilton Corporation

Part #: 14829

The Wilton 14829 A-4.5 Aluminum Jaw Caps provide a professional-grade, non-marring clamping solution for 4-1/2" vise jaws. Engineered by Wilton Corporation, these aluminum jaw caps are designed to protect sensitive components, finished surfaces, and soft metals from damage during clamping in automotive, industrial, and fabrication environments. They also serve as authentic replacement caps for existing vises.

Key Features

  • Non-Marring Aluminum Surface: Crafted from a hardened aluminum alloy, these caps effectively shield painted, polished, coated, and soft metal workpieces from scratches, dents, and transfer marks during clamping.
  • Precision Fit: Designed for a secure and stable fit on most standard 4-1/2" bench vises, commonly found in professional service bays, fabrication shops, and maintenance facilities.
  • Magnetic Attachment: Equipped with two built-in permanent magnets, the jaw caps securely attach to existing vise jaws for rapid, tool-free installation, removal, and repositioning.
  • Grooved Holding Face: A six-groove design, including deeper V-grooves, enhances grip on round and irregular items such as automotive brake and fuel lines, hydraulic fittings, and various small tubing diameters.
  • Extends Tool and Part Life: Acts as a protective barrier, minimizing wear on hardened steel vise jaws while simultaneously safeguarding sensitive components and finished surfaces from marring and distortion.

Applications

  • Automotive Repair and Finishing: Securely clamp body trim, painted panels, delicate engine components, and underhood parts without marring their finish during assembly or repair operations. Ideal for brake and fuel line work on various vehicle makes.
  • Hydraulic, Brake, and Fuel Line Work: Firmly hold steel, copper-nickel, or aluminum hard lines and fittings within the V-grooves for precise cutting, flaring, bending, and forming tasks required in automotive and industrial settings.
  • Metal Fabrication and Machining: Grip aluminum, brass, stainless steel trim, or coated parts during light machining, deburring, or assembly, avoiding direct contact with hardened steel vise jaws to preserve surface integrity.
  • General Shop and Assembly: Ideal for securing plastics, composites, and finished wood components during sanding, fitting, and test assembly where surface protection is critical.
