I have too many vices 😉 consisting of a basic Regal which I use mainly for tying tube flies, intruders and regular steelhead flies. My first vice was a Crest US made vise which still works but is quite worn, This was followed by a Renzetti traveler clamp on and my favourite is the Norvise. I also have an early model Dyna-King Voyager (traveler) which I use for camping trips etc.
I have to say that Norm Norlander has been fantastic as I had trouble with the first set of regular jaws which he kindly exchanges with no quibble. I now use the fine jaws for smaller hooks.
