Anvil

Is the Nor Vise a gimmick?
Anvil does have a lifetime guarantee. Might be worth sending it back to have them check it out. I had an apex. I used it away from home.

Fly vise advice
I decided my first vise would be the APEX from Anvil. Nice vise for $100. I was looking at a peak and renzetti but opted for the apex due to saving money to pay for something else, a bill.

Rotary Vise Pros and Cons
Anvil Atlas. Enough said.
Input from some Michiganders..plus vise?!
Anvil Apex, $99 but will last you a loooong time. Also has rotary, an adjustable head tilt, and both a clamp and a pedestal. Holds hooks up from a 32 to a 7/0.

I, too, recommend the Anvil - you won't find a better vise for the money.

I have never tied on a Kingfisher--but I own an Anvil Apex. I think you would be much better off with the Apex--and I'm not just saying that because I own one. IMHO you get alot more for the money
Rotary Vise Suggestion - Worth It?
I think it would be better to go with something cheaper (but very high quality) like a Renzetti Presentation 2000 ($285) or an Anvil($100). The Renzetti Master is $660 and looks nice,

I would prefer the Anvil between those two. The Anvil is actually more comparable to the Griffin Montana Mongoose if you are comparing the Griffin lineup to Anvil. They are also about the same price.
