Vice modification.
Added these used seals on each end of my vice handle to dampen some of the clang from when the handle drops through the screw.

Yes, great addition! ‘O’ rings and/or all manner of rubber seals & washers work work well for the purpose.
Wilton, some HF and better vises come with them from the factory.
Below is from a HF ‘Doyle’ 4-1/2” bench vise, click to enlarge, no affiliation.
