I would certainly recomend this vise to anyone :headbang: :headbang: The ease of use astounds me..excellent cam action....jumping from a junky Thompson to this bad boy was really something. Holds big hooks and little hooks alike as solid as a rock. Very smooth rotory as well. One SWEET vise. :headbang: :punk: Heres ma baby : Jan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChuckingFluff 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2009 I've seen them in magazines and always wondered about the quality because the price is fantastic. Glad you have a new toy for your creations. I hope you can still tie those algae flies. :hyst: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bottom Feeder 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 I tie on an Anvil Atlas. They are great vises. Just a suggestion though... The tool steel on those jaws have a tendencey to get a little bit of surface rust on them in humid weather. A little 3 in1 oil on the jaws every once in a while will prevent that.

Thanks for the tip, will remember that The Atlas is a pretty cool tool! If ever I was to invest in a true rotory that would be it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arkansas Mike 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2009 Jan, hasn't that junkie old Anvil fallen apart yet? You've had it about a week haven't you? :j_k: Seriously, I'm glad it's a good quality vise and you like it. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
