Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2006 Hi mtn, Last time I checked ... and this was several years ago ... they were a bit over $600.00. I can't believe they would still be at that price.

Guest Report post Posted November 25, 2006 I checked a couple of months ago and with the exchange rate at the time it was +$700. I have never seen a second hand LAW for sale, so new may be the only way to get one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troutbum2 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2006 Sorry, no real insight on where to get one but..... What makes this vise so great to rationalize a $700 price tag? Just looking at the picture, it looks no better than any other rotary. Having never laid hands on one, have no idea. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Thanks for the response. Actually the Laws vice has been around for quite some time now, more than a handful of years, Thanks again Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flymaker1 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Waldron has made another vice. The Snowbee-Waldron vice. I have looked at this one, it looks very well made. I'm considering this model for my next vice. It is reasonably priced as well, around $350.00, as of last week with the exchange rates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flytier 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 Bruce, As you say, the LAW Bench vise has been on the market for some time, from 1989 to be exact. _Very_ rare for any to show up on the used market. I guess the owners must like them. I know I enjoy mine (vintage 1989) ;-) Ordered from Lawrence they are GBP400, plus shipping. Cheers, Hans W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flytier 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 flymaker1, Very close. I believe Snowbee USA will start marketing the Snowbee-Waldron vise on the North American market at US$345 in the very near future. Cheers, Hans W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 28, 2006 couldn't get a link, but go to the Classic Rod Forum and go to the for sale items page 3 and a guy has one for sale. Says that sale is pending but might be worth checking out. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Streamside 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 Bruce here's the add. FS: LAW Bench Vise...SALE PENDING -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not the Snowbee-Waldron version. C-clamp. If you like a pedestal base, any standard one such as Regal will work. Current price is about 450GBP ($850) plus shipping from the UK. Excellent lightly used condition. Nothing wrong with this vise...it's as good as they say...this is my back-up LAW. $715 shipped, just in time for Winter. greenriver7043 AT yahoo DOT com Thanks, Chris Edited by: cdmoore at: 11/20/06 16:55 Add was posted 8 days ago by the moderator and is still pending. Let me know if your not interested because I'd like to snap it up myself if you don't want it, and if it's still available and the sale falls through.

Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 Streamside, I'm going to pass on the used vice. It just doesn't set well with me @ that price Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
