Universal Rotary Vise

[LedHed]

Pair of Universal in-line rotary vises. Think these vises are mid 60s. All aluminum construction.

Have you ever tied on them?? Wanted to see what you thought about the rotary feature on it.

The all-aluminum construction is interesting to me. Bet that those are relatively light. How might their hook holding be?

Cool vises LedHed. :icon14: :icon14:

Fm - I have tyed on one of the rotary vises - not my cup of tea.
The vise on the left is a kit vise and has a steel stem - feels heavier.

How about a vise under $10???

Sorry Pup missed the question - very light and hook holding is very good. This vise was recently reintroduced (not by the original manufacturer) with improved parts. I haven't held one but seen it on eBay.

They look like they would be the job done. Interesting to see the older tying tools.
