Peak vise stuck closed

[razoredge]

Was tying earlier and after 10 tyes or soo I cant seem to open my jaws to release the jig hook. Not really sure how to go about getting it out. The lever still moves free as it should

I agree with Skip You don't want to force anything. Sounds like it was dry and bound up. I hope the metal didn't gall. You might try a small plastic hammer or screwdriver handle and lightly tap it to see if you could get lucky. Good luck and keep us posted.

At any rate they are guaranteed for life so they will take care of it!

Gotta love the guarantee.

Thanks! I loosened up the nut that holds the jaw and it opened up. Do u guys do any type of upkeep maintenance on your vises as far as oil etc? I have had this peak rotary for about a yr and this is my first time taking it apart.

I dis-assemble mine and notice that the clear grease I use has gotten some color, so I clean and regrease it and re-assemble looking for any wear as i do. A drop of oil allowed to work in is plenty, I use Super Lube, comes in a silver can. The aerosol has a carrier that evaporates after deeper penetration than any other light silicone grease I know of. It's clear so I can keep up on weather or not it's time for a cleaning.
