Anyone got a DanVise lyin around collecting dust? I'm wanting to upgrade from the AA I got with my starter kit and I'm needing to stay under $100. Any ideas?

for a decent vise that rotates the Danvise is the best under $100, but once you get just a little higher you get all good metal vises with great machine work. It's up to you and if you don't mind the plastic parts I say get one. You can always sell it if you want to move on from it. I used one for about a year before I bought my Renzetti and actually sold my old Danvise to someone you know.
Thanks Skip. I think I'll go for it. I found a Fly Shop in England selling them for about $86 US, delivered. Sounds like a good deal to me.
You can't find a better price on ebay? I know they had the best prices a few year back. I think you will like it fine. I know they were selling them for somewhere around $70, but they may have gone up. The people that import them are on FAOL? I have not priced them in a long time though???? I will look.
Hey is shipping not going to cost more then the difference in like one from here? It has free shipping?? I do see they have gone up a good bit.
New Danvise Rotary Fly Tying Vise Free DVD Standard Clamp Base | eBay
I like my Danvise that I picked up off an e-bay ad. A complaint against the Danvise is that the torque of the hook clamping can easily damage the vise jaws. I saw a tip that protects the jaws from damage. Take some plastic packaging material - the rigid clear stuff that is formed to lock an enclosed product to its cardboard pegboard card. Cut small pieces (I use 3/8" X 3/4" for hooks from #10 to 1/0) from the plastic and fold in half to make a 3/8 X 3/8 envelope. Side your hook bend inside the envelope and clamp in the Danvise jaw FOLLOWING THE DANVISE INSTRUCTIONS. This works great.
Pepop, Hookhack.com sells a generic metal rotary vice with a clamp base for about $40. They're pretty fast shipping. Their UV set glue is reasonable too.
i use a crown vise cheap version of the reagal vises holds 2/0 all the way to size 22 firmly in place it is self adjusting just squeez the leaver insert hook and let go they are 39.99
Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions. I went ahead and ordered a Peak from BPS since they offered 6 months no interest & $5 shipping. I figure I can swing the $29 a month for 6.
i know where there is a anvil vise and a everything else tools probably 20 spools of thread and everything else one would need that I can buy for 100 dollars is it a good deal? Fly tying set up
Like everything on CL buyer beware.......
Yes that is important for guys to think about any time your buying from something like CL because your likely to find both good and bad deals on these big listings. Good point you made!Quote:
