vice research

[HairyMooseKnuckles]

Been looking for a better vice than my terra kit. I know exactly what I want. It's the Regal Revolution, but I can't afford it yet. Don't know whether I should keep saving or spring for something less pricy in the meantime. Mine is ok, it does require fidgeting with when I change hook sizes. Sometimes it's not too bad and sometimes I want to chunk it across the room. Wife tried to talk me into buying the renzerti traveler, but I really didn't care for it. I looked at a peak, but I didn't fall in love with it either.

There's a lot of vise discussion with article links to be found here.

If you know what you really want, then tie on what you got, save your pennies, and pull the plug when you're ready.

This! Although I can't imagine not falling in love with a Peak?!? I just love mine, but that's me.

I have the Revolution but haven't used it enough to opine one it. I am too old school and really never got into using the rotating feature. Hard to teach an old dog anything.... It is a solid well built vise - made in America - and very easy to use. Regals are famous for their grip and infamous (so they say) for the jaws chipping. I have seen a picture of a jaw set that was chipped (due to user error) but have never experienced or seen it myself.
I do use Regal vises and really enjoy them - latest (IMHO the greatest) is the stainless steel jaws...
