One thing I am a big believer in is quality and value. Over the years, I have been always tried to find items to sell with these 2 goals of finding the best stuff at the best price. Terra's vises and tools have been a very good seller for me, offering you many new tools at reasonable prices.

The arm is articulated which allows for up and down movement of the turning arm. The jaws are fully adjustable to accept nearly every size of hooks.

This vise is a steal at this price!
