While I understand that the Renzetti has jaw adjustment screws on one side of the vise, which may impact left vs. right handed, my Dyna King Barracuda is designed so that the only screw that protrudes from the side (tension screw for the rotation) can be inserted through either side of the vise. All other adjustments are in-line with the axis of rotation, which I would assume would make them identical for left or right handed tiers.

    Additionally, when I tied on a PEAK vise, all of the adjustments were along the axis of rotation as well. Is there something I'm not considering? I'm right handed, and most folks I've tied with are right handed, so I've never encountered this.

    I'm not posting this to rag on the Danvise, I'm just wondering how it is superior to other rotaries for left handed tiers.
    Esquire,
    The jaws attach to the vice via an adapter. Both a right-hand and a left-hand adapter are included with the vice. I tie right-handed, so I can't comment as to superiority. However, it should work as well for a lefty as it would for a righty.

    I have had my Danvise for two and a half years, now. I have a little wear on the tips of the jaws from early on. I should have paid more attention to the instructions when I got the vise. (I'm a man, I don't need no stinkin' instructions!) This doesn't affect my ability to use the vise. I was clamping size 22's in it last weekend.
    I actually use the rotary feature for something besides looking at the other side of my fly! There are a lot more uses I could be/should be taking advantage of, but sometimes I get a little too focused on the job at hand.

    Don't let the "plastic" scare you. In this case, Delrin is more than adequate to the task. (EDIT: Removed in-accurate comparison. kb)

    I highly recommend the Danvise. I doubt if I will ever need another vise. (Want, on the other hand....)

    Regards,

    Kirk
