First be careful easy to slice your hand or fingers b/c yes they are tight.I use a small vice grip and put just the side in and get it going through them grab it from the other side with the vise grip and wiggle it a bit from side to side to get in place.Hope someone has a better way so we both can learn.Kip

thinking of filing the opening with sandpaper to loosen them some

They are a little tight, I push mine in a little and then just press down lightly on a work bench and they com on though.  I prefer them tight, I don't want anything jiggling around on my set up.  Joe
