Hi guys, new to the forum but Ive had a little experience with these. Personally I'd tie on my Traveller rather than the Apex. The Atlas is nicer, and smoother and good value. But I have that Renzetti bias
The one issue I had with these was a customer who wore the jaws out in about a year. He tied a lot obviously. But Anvil replaced the jaws inside a week and it was a simple replacement.
So you save alittle with the softer jaws up front, but their backup is impeccable. Very easy to deal with too.
Hope this helps a little
Steve
