day5 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Another update. I e-mailed fly tying specialties to ask if they had the micro jaws. Got a reply that they would be in this Friday @ $39.95. So I replyed if I order before the 31st. would I still get the 10% discount on the jaws also. Got a reply that they will apply discount to the complete order. With shipping that comes in at about $275. Will have do a phone order though,but you can't beat that with a stick ! Now i'm giving very serious thought to getting one instead of the DK Supreme. :dunno: FYI I can sell you a Standard for 205 and midge jaws for 30. New. If you are interested let me know. I tie on a spartan and love it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randy Selling vises on the site requires an inventory. I did it for a while and sat on some cash for to long. That got expensive fast. So I only do vises ala cart. Shipping is 12 dollars USPS priority. Someday I will stock vises and have them back on the site but I need to free up the cash form other places first. It taks aboout 14 days for me to get you a vise (I order it and reship it to you). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gillhunter 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Hello, I have both the Spartan and the Standard HMH and A D-K Professional. Of all three, my favorite is the HMH Standard. With the standard jaws that come with it you can tie just about any size hook except maybe the real large saltwater flies, then you would need the magnum jaws. The Spartan shares a lot of the same parts as the standard, the only difference is a slightly shorter barrel and smaller adjustment knobs. I just think the longer barrel is just more comfortable if you tie a lot of flies. HMH vices are hard to beat and they last forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding is the standard also has a higher quality bearing system. Also HMH comes with its own forum! http://hmhvises.com/board/index.php Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
