I agree! The traveler model is a very well designed and made vise. When they changed from a bolt to lever to tighten the hook they made it a very use full vise!
Nice vise. What model is that?

Renzittii TRAVELER!
Thanks
Congrats Fishguy86, it's a winner and and sure you will only love it more and more! I love how light weight it is due to the Alloy construction!
I have the Salt Water Traveler and mine looks just like the one in the picture. I tie on my Nor, but love my Renzetti also!

Nice - I've been tying so long on a stardard vise I haven't even thought about a rotary
Trust me I've been tying on a standard one for 20 years and I wish I would have purchased a rotary years ago now! Won't ever go back... EVER! HahaQuote:

I've had mine for several years and I can say that you will get a lot of good hours of use out of it. I love mine. A cleaning and lube is all I have ever done to mine. Good Buy!!
One word of warning: The traveler model has a o-ring that holds the rear of the jaws together. Put a second O-ring on it. There is plenty of room for two. The reason for doing it is if the o-ring breaks(and I had one that did) there is a ballbearing in it that falls out. I was doing a demo and on my travels when it broke. I was lucky that the vise was in a plastic shoe box and I did not lose it. The vise will not work without the bearing. I put a rubber ban on it until I got 2 new o-rings on it. This way if one breaks there will be pressure on it to hold the bearing in place!
