Tip broke after 2 months. UPDATE Excellent Service and Warranty
Update - I contacted the company on their website. They responded within one business day. I received a replacement part 3 days later. Hopefully no one will have an issue, but it's nice to know when there is one the company takes care of you quickly.For the first two months I loved this vice. Now the tip has broken. If they hold true to the lifetime warranty this would be a five star.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Great low cost rotary vise
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020
This is a great little vise. I didn’t know if I’d like fly tying, and didn’t want to pony up for a Regal if it wasn’t my thing. As a beginner, I DO recommend trying to get a rotary vise: it makes life easier when inspecting your handiwork from all angles. I also recommend the base that Griffin sells separately; it’s just heavy enough where it’s stable but not too cumbersome to use. The vise jaws hold tiny hooks like the zebra midge I tied (and included a picture of) as well as larger hooks. I find the bobbin holder especially useful when using the rotary function of the vise.

EDIT 12/3/20
As I’ve tried other styles of vises, I’ve come to appreciate this vise more, especially at this price point. The bobbin cradle is very handy as I have done more work with palmering and applying hackle to dry flies. Toss on a half hitch to save my work and place my bobbin on the cradle. Done!
Also, the method that the jaws use to secure the hooks is quick and easy: just two roller knobs. Place the hook into the jaws at least a hook-width back from the jaw tips, turn the knob closest to the jaw tips so they are snug on the hook, then turn the rear knob to tighten everything down. Other jaw styles, like my HMH Spartan, are cumbersome to dial in quickly.
A materials clip would be a nice addition too.

I am over the moon with my new vise, its simple to use and very well made.

Rotary function is silky smooth.

Jaws are brilliant and hold pretty much any hook you put in them.

Working position just perfect.

Most definitely worth the purchase.
