Griffin Montana Mongoose Vise

The latest vise from Griffin has been redesigned with cam-operated jaws. The jaws can be locked in the forward or backward position for more clearance while tying and a single screw adjustment makes for easy one-hand adjustments. The tempered steel jaws will hold hooks ranging from size 4/0 to 28. The 360 degree rotation make for more comfortable tying and better looking flies. Comes with C-clamp, pedestal base, bobbin cradle, material clip, hackle gauge, supreme bobbin, and deluxe carrying case. Lifetime guarantee. Made in USA.

best vice I have purchased
Date:
I have been tying flies for a number of years. This is my first rotary vice, and one of the best on the market, for the money.

not worth the money
Date:
This vise has way too much slop. I have used a danvise for years and for the money you can't beat them. The mongoose has been a big disappointment. I expected a lot more for the money.

Nice But Bulky
Date:
I recently purchased this vise as my first real rotary system. I have one real complaint, and that is the bulkiness of the vise. It does not rotate as smoothly as I would like, but it seems to be an issue of the jaw weight having no real counterbalance. It is like an airplane propeller with a lead weight at the tip of one blade, it is always going to want to return to one particular position. My plan is to add a small flywheel to the handle side of the vise. If I manage to get it done correctly this would make this vise a solid 5 star vise. I love the cam jaw system, and overall I am quite pleased with the vise.
Worth the money, but someone needs to ask Griffin to balance the system out so it has a relatively neutral torque when not being rotated.
