I've been looking for a decent vice for a while and have seen lots of those on Ebay but can't help but think at that price, the quality can't be that good and wonder just how long they would last.

Still looking for a decent rotatable vice

I got one of those cheap vices that make you think oh my look I got all the features of a dear vice but cheap, couple of months later it was in the bin and I got an Anvil Apex meaning I spent more than I should have if I had bought myself a good vice in the first place.
Avoid is most likely a pile of SH1TE.

I had one of these of Ebay...I can sum it up in one word, C-R-A-P!!!
I'm in the process of sending it back for a refund.

I've got the none rotational version of this. I've had it for years, great vise for hooks up to size 1ish, but I struggle with the big salty fly hooks.

Can anyone recommend a decent budget vise that takes a big hook??

Cheers Dave
