Sometimes I need to clamp a small piece of stock at one end of my bench vise. Without adding any packing to the other end, the jaws tilt resulting in poor clamping action. Adding packing of exactly the right thickness solves that problem. But I don't always have such packing. One solution is a variable thickness packing block or… a Jaw Jack.
