It ain't the vise. It's the talent I crave, the ability, the skill, the innate talent. or at least a faster learning curve! My Renzetti presentation is a better vise than I am a tier, I need no better.

I think an Anvil Atlas would be my pick. It's their newest product and I have been impressed with their other offerings. Made in the USA by people who know steel.

I really don't know. I started on a Herter's vise, moved to a Regal about 15 years ago and to a Renzetti Traveler about 10 years ago. Every time I look at another vise and try to determine what it will offer me that my current vise doesn't, I come up short. The Renzetti holds hooks fine, rotates as much as I need it to, and is pretty stable. I've been tempted to buy a new vise several times in the last couple of years, but until I can figure how it will help me tie better, I just can't justify it.
Guess I'm just a bit of a luddite...

Can't believe anyone could vote for anything but the LAW - but fantasy it shall remain. Second is that vise you have with the engraved jaws.
Danica Danvise, it's really hard to spend >$100 on a vise for me, think of this, you can buy 1000 hooks! 50 Quality spools of thread, or 100 Cheeseburgers!!!
If money were no object.....and if I wanted another vise I "think" I would want a Dyna King Ultimate Indexer. Not for the indexing feature though. It just looks like it has an adjustment knob in every spot I want one.
However I have a Griffin 2A Patriot, Mongoose, Spyder, Norvise, Peak, Danvise and have given away a couple of three vises. And....sold two other Danvise's before I bought this one from Phil.
I currently have no desire to purchase another vise. I am very pleased with my Danvise....of which I modified a bunch of times.
Will post ALL the others up for sale on the For Sale board someday. Uh...I modified the Norvise. I hack sawed off the little knurled knob. Just FYI.....
