Vacuum Base Repair Kit

The PanaVise 380-RK kit restores a torn or damaged vacuum base pad on compatible bench vises. It includes a replacement handle, lock washer and rubber pad so the original clamping function returns without replacing the whole vise. Mechanics and hobbyists who already own the supported models can keep their existing setup running. The kit targets users who need a direct component-level fix rather than a new tool.

Sustained clamping reliability

Once installed, the repaired vacuum base maintains its holding power during extended work sessions because the rubber pad and locking hardware are designed to the original specification. The handle and washer distribute clamping force evenly, preventing the slippage that a worn pad creates over time. No additional adjustments are required after the initial repair. The repair restores the same steady grip the vise delivered when new.

Upgrade from a worn pad

This kit replaces only the failed vacuum pad assembly on PanaVise models 380 and 381, avoiding the cost and downtime of a full vise swap. The jump is worth it when the frame and mechanism remain sound but the rubber seal no longer holds vacuum. It is not for buyers who need a larger vise, a different mounting style or a brand-new tool with updated features.

Questions about this item

How much does the repair kit weigh when it is mounted on the bench all day?

The kit weighs .5 units, so it adds minimal load to the vacuum base during extended use.

Which existing vise models must I already own for this repair kit to work?

The kit is designed for use with model numbers 380 and 381, so one of those vises is required.

Will the replacement rubber pad and hardware fit the original vacuum base on my older 380 or 381 vise?

Yes, the included rubber pad, handle and lock washer are made to repair the original vacuum base on those models.
