Byron, I had a c-clamp model back in the late 70's maybe early 80's. Probably the best hook holding vise I ever tied with. It was replaced with a HMH because of the rotary feature. I have used a couple others after the HMH. I've been tying with a Renzetti Master since the late 90's, this vise does everything quite well, I supply the rest. Certainly not the accumulation of vises you have but I've done well.
