mikel7@mac.com Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well i broke my old vice, never did care for it much. How about some advice on a good vice for under $ 100.00 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcline Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I know you said for under 100.0 but I would recommend getting a Regal vice. I think they are about 150.00 now may a little less. I've had mine for 15 years now and it still works great and no sign of trouble yet.

bassrecord Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Ditto Regal. It has different size jaws if you need them. Also if you need a light, McKinsey makes a high intensity bulb type with a flexible handle that mounts on the bar coming up out of the pedestal. If necessary they also have a wire bobbin holder that is nice. It's a good tool. Feels good. Easy to tie with. Lots of pro tiers use a Regal. Just avoid the Nor-Vise piece of junk. Crotchity device that makes you always tie like with the wrong hand! Good luck! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Just avoid the Nor-Vise piece of junk. Crotchity device that makes you always tie like with the wrong hand! Good luck! John We went from an under $100 request to a $300 vise?(to start) I have seen and played around with the new Nor Vise, far from a piece of crotchity junk. Have never felt such a smooth true rotary action, but opinions vary I guess. Now if you say not worth the $$, I could agree on that. Mikel7.... On many forums, people ask this question. What are you looking to tie? How many times a year do you use it? If it's just some jigs of teaser hooks, my 'ole man tied 1000's a year on one of those $29.95 cheap vises you can buy that just clamp onto the table. Bought his at Hagens I think. I'll send you a link to check out. Edited February 15, 2009 by BLT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 The point of a vise for me is how much can you get for your money. One that I like for a vise under $100.00 is the griffin Odyssey spider vice. It is a rotary vice . Once you use the rotary feature you might wonder what you did with out it. You can also up grade it with add ons or accessories. I am using the Montana mongoose. I think the company is a head of the competition.
