| Hollidaysburg Pa Posts: 132 | To those of you who use this vise. I currently have a regal vise which I think is a great vise, but I was thinking about getting a "true" rotary vise mainly because I've been tying more bass flys lately. My only question on the renzetti is A- durability ( my regal is nearly bomb proof) and B- does the cam jaw mean that you don't have to adjust the jaws for a specific hook size( like a regal). B- is a big concern for me because i'm spoiled by the fact that I never have to adjust the jaws, mainly because I get tyers A.D.D. from time to time and tie a half dozen different patterns in a sitting. I really don't "need" the vise but if it's a good tool I might ad it to the quiver. Any comments on this vise would be appreciated. Jeff | |

| Chambersburg, PA Posts: 162 | Jeff, Durability is excellent the only thing I have found is the areas where my hand rest against the vise have taken on a darkened patina, but this in NO WAY impacts the functionality of the vise. You do have to adjust the jaws for hooks of varying sizes but it takes less than 10 seconds to go from a 2/0 stainless salt hook to a #28 fine wire. There is a rather unobtrusive knurled screw on the jaws the you twist. If you are staying within a 3 hook sixe range you probably don't even have to adjust, and it is so smooth it quickly becomes second nature. JW | |
