I'm finally going to upgrade my vise (Well, ... in reality, Liliane was taken over the old one which has served well for decades!).
Looking at a few models and some have both Clamp and Base, but some are only one or the other.
Ideas please. Does a model which sits in a base have any benefits over a clamp model, other than the fact that I can put it right ON the desk top (in those situations where a clamp cannot be accomodated to the table edge).
Is a base as solid as a good clamp? I reef down pretty hard on the thread, sometimes bending the shank!)
Price will probably stay under 200$ (cdn) like for a Griffin Odyssey Cam Vise or Odyssey Spider.
