Thompson Cobra Vise

[AtticaFish]

Just stumbled across this and have never seen this vise before, but dang does it look nice! Has an interesting 'C' shaped arm coming out to the hook jaws that would be really nice for long material ties. One of the accessories is a Dual Material Clip that slides into one of the accessory holes and can be placed where you want. Going to have to look around some more and see if i can find any better pics of the business end that holds the hook and how the jaws adjust and lock down. Heck, i just like the look of it.

I looked real hard at that vise when I bought mine...They are not that expensive either.

Cool, wondering how stable and heavy the base is.

They are unique looking . problem is the curved arm that holds the jaws , allows for the tier to rest a hand while holding materials , which is nice but the center point is to far forward allowing the vise to tip when cinching down materials . The Jaws are the weak point they chip rather easy and can be sprung if not careful when clamping hooks .
I found this out at a tying gathering last year I attended .
