Default Anyone use a Stonfo flytec vice?

Plenty of info on alternatives out there but curious about the cam version of this model as a next step from a basic regal knock off cam vice.

Features look good for the price e.g. 3 sets of jaws, but any views on build quality and what its like to use, especially for small flies? I have big hands so like a bit of working room, can't try before I buy.

Plan B might be a griffin montana mongoose for +£30 but I won't stretch to a Waldron.

thanks in adavnce
Mark

I've got a few Stonfo tools and am very impressed with them, very well made, if that helps at all.

I'v got one and can't fault it, if you shop around you will get one for £140 rather than the £190, try here

Ive been using one for the last 9 months and no problems at all, I have the base version and have got used to using the indentations in the base for stopping my beads from rolling about on the desk
