    Despite all the variety in adaptive vise jaws, this is well suited to uniform and irregular contours. Guys spending time milling soft jaws for equal shapes are going to be upset!

    My wife suggests a plastic washable version for kitchen use. Holding a jar while opening, holding a hard veg while cutting, etc.
