Hands down Regal is the best vises on the market. They can accommodate a number of different size hooks and the stainless steal jaws are worth the little extra money. The more I tied, the more I found myself stealing my fathers Regal. I have since gone and purchased the newest version that is not much different than his but I have to say I love it even more. Buy a Regal and you will never want to buy or use another vise ever again. P.S. the only improvement that can be made is to buy the bobbin holder that fits the vise.
