flyfishing4life 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2010 First it was the O-ring the the ajustment knob on the cam started slipping, next the pieces that are on the back end away from the jaws started slipping and became stripped. It hasbeen a good year ride with this vice now im looking for a quick replacement as I have muskie swap flies that need to be tied ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishyboY 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2010 have you talked to renzetti about it? also you could have been putting way to much pressure on the knobs and cam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfishing4life 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2010 I have not. I lost the box somewhere when I moved and do not have the serial number for the vice, therefore I figured I was SOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take him out and shoot him!!! :ripped: :hyst: Hummm, I guess my research and opinion on Renzetti was correct after all........................ Just think, I did'nt even pay him to say this either Dude, sorry about the vise failure. I have an HMH / API Spartin which is like new and comes with the standard jaws and midge jaws that I might be willing to sell. It's the clamp version too. Just bought a Swiss Master and I don't think I'll need the API any longer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyfishing4life 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2010 the renzetti was seven years old. It tied is shar of flies. Mainly 1/0 and larger for the toothy critters. It served me well and I would gladly recommend them to anyone ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyfish Dog 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2010 I thought I was under the impression that you had a knocked off lookalike Renzetti you bought off of Fleabay? The evidence shows in your pictures. Beside Renzetti will fix it and get it back to you rather fast if it was a Renzetti. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfishing4life 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2010 I have an EZ Rotary that I bought off of fleabay that you have seen. I dont really like it. However the renzetti which really is a renzetti is sitting in a show box beside my desk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
