Whats you vise

[day5 0]

So the other vise thread is too long and too old in many cases. Many of us have changed/upgraded vises. There are some new vises out there etc. So here is a new thread with updated choices.

I voted for HMH :yahoo: Great price and a great grip! The best tying clearance! Simple as it gets and well made I tie 6000+ flies a year on mine. For the average tier this could be the last vise you ever buy!!! Other vises I like/second and third are the Dyna King and the Regal.

I've got a $20 vise from Cabela's that came with my beginners set. Reworked to make it ture rotary, it's served me well, it's over 5 years old. My dream vise is the Renzetti Masters!

Master is my main/HMH is my second

I got a Renzetti traveler for my birthday after my el cheapo fell apart. I haven't had any troubles with it and works great for what I do. Worth a try I think but I haven't had much else to compare to so.............

I use the Renzetti vise. I have had my 3000 for about 38 years and it still is a fantastic vise. Two years ago I got a 2000 vise for the bench. :yahoo: :yahoo:

I started with a Danvise, used it for one winter, then got a Peak, used that for the following spring, and then I got the Dyna-King Ron Abby Signature Edition. I am very pleased with this vise, and doubt that I will ever have anything else.

I've had an el cheepo and a danvise . But now I tie on an Anvil. It's a simple well made functional vise .

I currently use a Thompson Vision. I am happy with it. If I were to get another vise, it will likely be a peak.

I have a Dyna-King Voyager 2, a Dyna-King Trekker and a Dyna-King Kingfisher. All have their uses and all 3 get used.

I used to have a Cabela's Master vise but I have since gotten a Peak. I really like it. That whole rotary thing is way cool

Went from cheapie regal type knock off to a 2nd hand Danvise now have a Peak which is fantastic. I'm gonna have it for a long time i think.

I use a dan vise, good value for the money, but i've been thinking it's time to upgrade soon.

I have a Dyna-King Voyager 2. Most verisatle vise for hook holding. I have tied down to a 26 and up to a 2/0 using just the standard jaws. I have tied also on a Renzetti, did not like the vise for hand postioning for tail placement. the vise got in the way.

For the past 14 months I've been tying on a LAW and I am extremely happy with it. It is for me, the perfect vise.

I have been tying on a Peak for about 2years, prior to that I used a Reed Tackle (!!) Master vise, which is the same as a current Cabela's Master vise. I flat wore that thing out and it lasted many years. The jump to a rotary exceeded my expectations. My tying, especially of streamers, improved overnight. A couple of quirks needed to be addressed, the most recent being the slippage of Mustad 3407 plated hooks, (thanks Trad!) and I wish the jaw tension adjustment nut was finer threaded and had a textured surface. On the standard jaws I've tied down to 18 and could go smaller but I don't have the need, and up to 2/0 heavy wire with good results. All in all I consider it a great value and extremely versatile.
