niveker 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2021 Nice looking vise. I came across a few references to it on the internet, seems like it was made by Thompson for Orvis, that's about all I could find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2021 from another forum in 2005 The Orvis Baetis vise was a rotary vise that Renzetti threatened to sue Orvis over so Orvis dropped it and started selling the Renzetti Traveler instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobHRAH 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2021 I wonder if the Able and AK Best vises suffered the same legal pressure. Thanks, Bob H Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2021 probably not. they were made by makenzie ? maybe on the abel but probably too much $$$$ i think the issue was a one piece bent arm not a multiple piece arm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaydub 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2021 Yes, the bent arm was the issue. Peak also had to change their design because that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
