I have used one for the past 6 years. When I first got it I remember telling myself to go ahead and make the plunge. I had used Griffens, Renzetis, Danvise, in short, looking for the perfect vise. Once I learned how to use the vise and its acc. I will never go back to the old. I have tied everything in every size (02-24) and have always been amazed at how versatile this vise is. You have to decide to "get out of the box", and once you have you will be extremely pleased.
