Chuck, I have a Blackfoot Mongoose, which is the same vice but
without the lever or the little lock down retaining nut on top. I
like the vice and felt it was worth the money. You can buy better
vices, but they also cost more, and this one has been fine for my
needs. I'm pretty sure that the lever tightens going either way...
toward or away from the tyer.
I bought it to upgrade my Renzetti rotary which had some damage to
the arm and was showing its age in other ways. I like the design of
the Mongoose and it works great.

Folks: Most of you know that I want to get a better vise... So, I
have been looking at all of them..I have a question about the
Griffin Montana Mongoose (NOT that this is the one I want,I saw
something in this one and a cpl others that I cannot recall right
at the moment that I have a question about).I saw a photo of one at
Lines End. Question is, does that lever(the lever that tightens the
Jaws) not get right in your way??? Or does the lever move side to
side???? Thanks, Chuck
