* Material Clip and Rotary Handle available as accessories
Dear Steve,
Well I finally bit the bullet and paid the extra to get what most forums etc seem to class as a top vice - The Peak. I have been dogged by every mate for spending so much on a vice as most of them have one for which they paid under $100 for. However, they are all very envious now. The Peak is solid, lovely to use, simple - just everything you would expect for something not "Chinese" made. The rotary feature is awesome and while still new at fly tying myself, have already used this feature quite a bit. So much talk is over how the jaws hold the hook - these jaws are excellent - easily adjustable and you know it has hold of the hook - A pack of wild horses aren't moving that hook until I release it. Bought the saltwater jaws and already have used these for the larger sized hooks. If you remember I upgraded to the brass screw kit - in reflection wasn't required as the delrin seems to be more than adequate, but I do think the brass looks so much nicer (all important I know)! Without going on and on would like to thank you again for all your advice and time, and I am so pleased with the end result - a vice that is a pleasure to use and will last me a lifetime. Thank you.
Regards
Paul Sharp
