Guest Report post Posted February 2, 2007 It is nice but, if I was going to spend $800 I'd get a LAW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Inman 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 This pic will likely be as close as I ever get to one of these. These won't ever be in our local shops and likely will go away. I agree that I like the LAW better than I do. At this price, a LAW might be a bargain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I was going to spend $800 I'd get shot by the wife for sure she just found out what I spent on my new 2wt blank and I had to send the dog in the house for a couple days.

JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 roger that... at $800, it's no longer a hobby, a lifestyle, or even an addiction... it's an illness! I don't even know what all that stuff hanging off it is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 3, 2007 I saw one in a fly shop awhile back. Kind of pretty but I felt like it was buying a Rolls Royce to go to the store in. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flytier 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 When I see a vise design such as this I ask myself: Which problem does the designer try to solve? From what I can see I am not clear on the answer. I guess I will have to wait until I can have a hands-on play with one Cheers, Hans W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my experience I've learned that the best possible solution to any problem is almost always the simplest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flytier 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 Interestingly enough the C&F 9000 sells for a fair bit less in Europe. Generally the reverse is true, but for once Europe has the USA price beat. It is available in the Old World for 499 Euro, which at the present conversion rate translates to about US$ 645. Cheers, Hans W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Royal Coachman 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2007 I went to their website and read about the vice. One interesting feature...one side of the jaw is magnetized to hold the hook in place while closing the jaws. Thinking about magnetizing my vice jaws. Anyone have experience with this?

Ribs1 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2007 I have 2 vices that serve all of my needs and I can't imagine any problem I could have the this vise could solve, or any other vise. I'll stick with my Regal and my Norvise. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
