My Google-fu is weak and I can't find anything on this vise. Anybody know what the intended use and benefit of this jaw style is? Thanks

Looks like it may be intended for sheet metal work.

I would agree sheet metal, but there are ones very similar that were for woodworking also.

OK then, I guess it's for sheet metal. Thanks.
