2nd Hand Vice?

[DrBullet]

Hi All,

I don't suppose anyone has upgraded or has a second (redundant) vise that they would be interested in selling (ideally a C-clamp variety)? I have an embarrassingly cr@p vise which now barely holds a hook...and is driving me mad! I am not an expert, by any stretch of the imagination but my current attempts are being hindered by an uncooperative device!

 

I'm on a budget and not particularly skilled so it's probably not worth suggesting anything "high end"...a basic, sturdy and functional model would be ideal (I'm also not likely to tie anything smaller than a #18).

 

Alternatively, if anyone can suggest a decent entry-level vise to buy, that'd be great too.

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel

I purchased a low priced copy of the " Regal " vise shown here: http://www.russellsports.com/files/ff-signature_4.pdf. last year from a great shop outside of Vernon (probably a chinese knock off, but a guy's gotta save a buck here and there).

The vise has great hook holding pressure. It will rotate, but, it is not as convenient as a true rotary.

If you want to call them, their info is below. My Dad and I have dealt with them for years and their "GOOD" guys.

Let me know if this helps and if they still have these available.

Have look at the Danvise, they sell for around $130. in Calgary but I got one on E-Bay for $65 + shiping.

not sure if you are still looking for a tying vise, I have an ANVIL APEX VISE that I am willing to part with. I was waiting for a set of midge jaws for my NOR - VISE and picked it up. It has the base mount and the c - clamp .Only tied with it for a couple of weeks. i am located in THE HAT.
