The Danish design of this premium range of Fly Tying Vices is second-to-none, representing excellent value for money when you compare the quality and features with other vices on the market. Superbly engineered from high quality steel and aircraft aluminium, the jaws are made from specially hardened, high alloy tool steel. The Fly-Mate Vices feature a rotational facility which, combined with the cranked jaws shaft, ensures that, when rotated, the shank of the hook turns around its own axis. Parallel clamping of the hook, by means of the 2 jaw clamp screws, ensures secure grip of any hook size from #24 to 8/0. The jaws come with a 5 year warranty. Available in desk Clamp style or Pedestal models, an optional extra is a patented ball joint on the vice shaft. This gives movement in all planes, which coupled with the 360° rotation facility, allows viewing of the fly from all angles during tying. This facility can be particularly useful when tying very small dry flies or when using epoxy resin for Buzzers or Saltwater flies. The ball joint allows unlimited movement, so the Epoxy can be accurately 'run' into the required shape, while it sets.

Take your time setting this vise up (slightly tricky but enjoyable) and you'll have a vice to last you your flytying days. Jaws are a bit free/loose till tightened but you'll soon get used to sorting that no problem. I've really got to liking it.. I have used much more expensive vices?

Okay.
Nice Handy Vice. However takes a while to get all the bits and pieces tightened up - and of course this also means too many parts to loosen up. Jaws are a bit fiddly with two tightening screws. Good solid base. Good vice for the price.

Great vice
A great vice, just a little fiddly to set up initially. I have used it for flies from 22 to 8/0 and it works really well for all.
