Danvise
I used a Danvise for two years as my travel vise. Then I picked up an HMH Spartan and gave the Danvise to a friend. In my opinion, the Danvise is hands down the best vise vise under $100. |

Renzetti Master vise - Hook 28 to 10/0....really!
I tie #28 on my danvise with no problems and the biggest I tie is 4/0 but it still holds them well enough to tie some pretty cool deer hair bugs so guess I wouldn't need a master vise or the mill |
