I thought I'd pass on a tip for a shop vise. I certainly did not invent it as I remember as a kid my dad had these on the vise in the garage. After twenty years of listening to the clang when the handle dropped I got the idea of using garden hose washers for my vise handle. I didn't know if they would fit but I tried it and they work great. A tight squeeze getting them on but they
work like a charm. If you're annoyed by thet clank every time the handle drops you may want to try it. They are the green washers on the vise handle.
