My question is does anyone on here have a Thompson Cobra ? I spoke to a UK supplier today that said that thompson had gone out of bussiness??? Is this correct?
If you have a Cobra would you care to comment?

I know I just posted my preferences, but that was before I opened today's e-mails. Has anyone had experience with the Odyssey (by Griffin)? The cam-jaw one, not the mini "spider" one. Looks good, but as many have said before, looks may be deceiving...
Tight wraps,
Pete

He swears by his Danvise. Loves the thing. And i guess if it works for you,
how could you not love it, being that the price is so low. But
again..........one thing that looks (at least in the pic) like it would
drive me nuts, is the complete lack of room for my left hand to get in and
hold things. There's simply no clearence there at all. That's one of the
main reasons i love the Law so much. Clearence galore. There's not only
enough room for you hand, there's enough for your whole arm on a Law. You
could actually lay your arm on it and work. I likes that. mark.....

Ok, I have a question to all of you rich of experience...
For reference I have an Eagle Rotating Vise (http://www.jkflugfiske.com/bilder/eagle_rotating.jpg). It works for a guy in my league, but it has draw-backs like wobbling poor-precision made parts. When rotating, the screw also tightens itself, which can be really annoying. (To this comes of course the Indian jaw steel quality, but that's still in the future... it's not that old yet.)
I'm looking at a Danvise (http://www.eflytyer.com/tools/danica_vises.html)... the polymer vise. Retails around $80. It doesn't look bad... but that's all I know. I will never be able to try it out before bying, which a guy with my budget would prefer. So I turn to You! Has it got draw-backs that I might want to know of?
Is this "chunk of plastic" worth the money? (For those who have tried MY vise, is there $80 of satisfaction between them?)
Thanks in advance /Nick
