Questions & Answers

Is this vise available with the jaws pictured (tightening bolt) or will it have the more modern "cam" lock vise ?

This kit comes with the jaws that you see in the photo.

The vise should fit tightly into the base, right?

It is true. It is controlled by a knob on the base that tightens and loosens the vertical rod (which holds the actual vise device on its top end). Here are some suggestions to help you.

Are there any items in the kit that can be listed?

It would be great if you could tie me some GT I need to use either 6/0 or 8/0 hooks. What are the odds of this working?

Selected User Reviews For Zephr Travel Fly Tying Kit w/Travel Bag for Fly Tying or Tying Flies

It's a hot dangling this one! The "Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing" program at the local VA medical clinic in Green Bay, Wisconsin offers fly tying classes
5/5

I recently (about 8 weeks ago) began attending those classes. Veteran's Choice is a great program which has been of great service to many (including myself). For several weeks now, I've been searching for my own fly tying equipment. I found this one to be pretty much fit for my needs. There is no difference between what is shown in the advertisement and what is described in it. The rotary vise is not as expensive as some of the higher end models, which can range from $350 to as much as $3000, but it actually works well and is built There is a very sturdy carrying case with plenty of padding to protect everything inside from bumping against one another while traveling. It's also worth mentioning that all the tools are of high quality. Many of the tools appear to be made out of solid brass and other metals that are sturdy. Today, I gave it to my tying class, and the instructors and the other students all came to check it out. I am very pleased with the whole set. My friends were asking me where I got it and how much it cost, so when I told them it was $120 on Amazon, they were elated and said it was Amazon just got a new sale from me, I am fairly certain. Though it will be replaced by one of the more advanced systems in several years, it's still a great product for consumers As for tech models, I will keep this one around for life as my travel system! Your help is greatly appreciated, Creative Angler, thanks for your help! This Zephr Travel Fly Tying Kit is perfect for me!.

The set is decent for beginners
3/5

I was able to get started with everything I needed with this set. During the past 5 months, the jaws of the vise have not met precisely and over time it has deformed a bit, so that it will not hold hooks of size 22 It took a lot of smoothing out to make sure one of the bobbins didn't snap off my thread due to the pliers' poor grip. Overall, the tool kit is a great tool for the most part, and it comes in a nice case that will be put to good.

This is a nice travel kit
5/5

All the tools you need for tying knots on the road are included in this kit. Well padded and not too bulky to pack, the case is well suited for portable use. It is possible to pack a few more Due to more material need to be packed in a bigger case, I used a bigger case. On the negative side, the larger case is almost too big to pack, so it will need to be transported So far, the vise seems to be working well. I wouldn't call it exceptional, but it is functional. Because it has both a base and a C clamp, I find it useful. My preferred clamp is the C clamp, but that doesn't always work. This is a bit of a qualification, as I am a new tier with limited.

I think it is a little too expensive for what you get
3/5

It might be in the $50 range, but the vise is $40, the tools $30, the bag is probably not My vise had corrosion on the jaw and missing tools. It also had missing tools. Buying this starter kit would be useful if you do not wish to pay almost twice as much if someone else rounds it The alternative is to simply buy a Spider and a few tools and you will have better gear for the same cost.

A great set of tools and a great I like this set a lot
5/5

Tool set is excellent, very good vise, and padded case has custom interior pockets and a heavy-duty zipper for protection. It is unfortunate. Despite using the padded case, I found it a bit too bulky for my I am very pleased with this set of tools.

I'm not happy with the light weight and the small size of the base
3/5

As you can see, the base that comes with this vise is too light and I have a hard time tying it! The thread keeps moving around when I try! If you purchase this vise, make sure you get a better base!.

The little kit is fantastic! As I was looking for a reasonably priced rotating vice, this kit was the perfect fit
5/5

I am delighted to report that my expectations have been exceeded. This is a small, all-inclusive package that works just fine. It is convenient to carry the kit when traveling. Recommend on the highest level.

The set is very nice
5/5

Set that is good for beginners as well as more experienced players. Equipment of a decent quality. You get what you pay for on Vice, but it is a bit sloppy.
