peak rotary vise- review

1st fly on my new Peak Rotary Vise

Expensive rods, reels, and lures don't make a better fisherman. In tying, a more expensive vise or materials won't teach you the technical skills to become a better craftsman. Lets be honest, these are just tools to make the job easier. Last night the kids and wife surprised me with an early fathers day present.  The Peak Rotary Vise is an entry level vise at a more then reasonable price. Made in Loveland Colorado, its also nice to know that your supporting families inside the U.S.

A few of the other online reviews gave this unit high marks with the only negative they had to say was the plastic knobs that tighten the tension on the rotary arm. In my opinion this is a non issue, and I'm sure this is a intentional design idea to keep from metal on metal contact in the turning mechanism. Set up was super simple and the unit was nearly ready to go right out of the box. I did choose to not mount the bobbin cradle cause I found it to get more in my way then actually serving a purpose. The rotary arm functions great and turns as smooth as a well oiled piece of hydraulics. 

Keep in mind I'm only a few flies in on this vice but I do have to say that its a serious upgrade from the ten dollar clamp on I was tying on before. I'll be sure to add some updates to this post as I progress with this vise.
