My new vise just arrived today and I was so excited. I ordered mine with the extra MIDGE jaws. Had to share it with you:




very nice ! 8)
looked at that vice but got a different one

Shweeeeeeeeeeeet! Class act.

Real interesting looking vise. Certainly not traditional. What is the purpose second vise head? And the “jaws” with the bullet shaped hole in it?

There are two different jaws. One for 14 and larger and one for 14 and smaller. The vise comes with the first vise. It is a quick thumb screw all around to turn it into a rotary, to angle the head or turn it all the way around. You can tie high or low. I like the idea of the two head for Stingers and on my Chironomids, I coat them with Hard as Nails. This way I can coat one, then turn the vise and start tying another while it dries.

Totally not a must have thing, but sure is nice.

:shock: past tense? Are you not excited anymore? :wink:

Kidding aside. That is a very nice looking vice. Curious as to the base. Is it weighted? Can the vise be had with c-clamp?

No weight, just a very heavy duty suction cup and that is the only way it comes. The lever to set it and release it. I have a small piece of Lexan I put it on. Big enough to have a little around the base, plus a little in front in case I drop a hook.
I played with it today and it is so stable and nice. I can put it a little lower so it is not so hard on my back.

wow, that is quite a vice. What do you feed it? :wink:

TyroneFly,

Can the vise be had with c-clamp?

A C-clamp for the Vossler vise will become available ‘real soon’.

Leave it to Hans to have the inside skinny. :smiley:

That would be cool, but I like the sucky thing :lol:

I am still confused by the second picture. The one with the hole in the “jaws” like the shape of a bullet. If this is a set of jaws, then you insert the hook point through the hole and then snug up it up? Is this correct? Is this the optional vise head? Obviously, a lot of thought has gone into this vise, some of which is not so obvious, at least to me. :?

That is the Standard Head. The one that comes with the vise for 14 and larger. I was a bit thrown by it also, but got a chance to use it yesterday. There is a “V” in the bullet part, you stick the hook through the hole and tighten. It holds it beautifully. I am having to do a little adjusting from the Renzetti with the cam and the lever to turn the head, but this is so simple it is CRAZY!. I made a simple bobbin holder out of a coat hanger and I am getting ready to try the rotary part.

I was just told that all the holes in the “U” shape will be for add ons. They are going to put out a small motor with a band that will go around one of the knobs for Epoxy Flies. How cool is that?!

Now if JC can see if they would be interested in sponsoring this forum…we will all have it made!
