The virtual flyshop (www.flyshop.com) has a review of several vices, including my experience with the (original) Nor-Vise. It is an excellent tool, but not really a universal vise. Norm Norlander provides very good customer support. Some of the recent changes in the vice (such as the locking mechanism on top of the barrel, and the lever-lock for the jaws) have been improvements, whereas others (such as the fine point jaws) have actually decreased the usefulness in the areas where the original Nor-Vise shines, all of which include the ability of the barrel to spin freely on ball bearings. =============================== ><(((((º> =============================== | Dr. Henk J.M.
