I agree that some good tools cost more...
That first Sunrise vice put me into about 2000 flies before jaw splay and metal migration, for want of a better term, caused me to "upgrade." I ended up buying two other low end vices with more features but no better quality. And then finally splurged on an HMH Spartan, which shows very little wear after .... I'd guess ... 4000 flies. But the rest of my tools remain low budget because they continue to function well. So my go to scissors, bobbin, bodkin, and hackle pliers remain Sunrise. I don't consider admitting this trolling, folks. Buddy, thanks for the private message. I don't do much of that, so I'm responding in public for all to see.
