it's OK, I'm just pissed off coz I've bought a new vice as a result of this thread. Brian Tulloch is really in for  it now................

[.D.]

I've got the Snowbee Waldron one.

It works fine but it didn't change my life.

PS - the old "buy the most expensive equipment you can afford because it must be better" adage doesn't really stand up to scrutiny, though C&F Designs certainly do very well out of it :wink:.

Agreed.  I have a few of their fly boxes. Good but not worth the money.

Thanks for all the responses guys. 

Scotfly put me onto a site which reviews a wide selection of VICES (my apologies for the horrendous spelling error there :roll:) which looks quite handy.

Worth a look.

I use an anvil apex vice Pete, it is a nice piece of kit without spending a fortune. Hopefully it should last a lifetime.

I just took delivery of this vice. An excellent piece of engineering. Hopefully I will now be able to tie very small flies without going nuts.  The service from that ebay seller was astonishing. One working day and it was here.   :shock:

[Wildfisher]

And here are the first flies tied with it. Size 18 and 20 parachutes.
