What's the best place for universal vise jaw pads (magnetic or otherwise jaw covers, say, plastic, aluminum, etc.) ??

Looking for some 4", 4.5" and 8" pads/covers.

I got these at Lowes and they seem pretty good.

Description:
Nylon Magnetic Vise Jaw

Works with most vises with jaws from 3 to 6 inches wide
Designed to avoid marring of already machined surfaces, soft metals & wood
Securely fastens over steel vise jaws with 2 strong magnets
grooved to assist in holding round stock, tubing etc .

At $8 they are a pretty good deal

I've made some out of heavy sheet lead and also from wood.

I like the look of those plastic ones from Lowes. Dare I ask about COO?

I also have a set of the nylon Bessey pads pictured above and they work well.

kythri - What brand of vice do you have? Record (Irwin?) still makes clip on fibre jaws. Others may be available too.
