That vise has the same clamping design as the one I was talking about. I think the one I have is a Griffin. I'd think a budget one in that design should work out well since there really isn't any cam surfaces or parts to wear.

Have fun. New material will follow you home from everywhere

Find a vise is tough these days! In my opinion, you can find a good vise for a good price. It doesn't need to break the bank either. In 1993 I bought my first vise and didn't swap it out until a couple of years ago. The only reason, I started tying more dry flies and wanted something with a rotating head. The Renzetti I purchased isn't TOP OF THE LINE, but it does more than I need as a recreational tyer like me.

Good vise
Great scissors
Great bobbin holder
Good hackle pliers

That should be your priority
