Really nicely engineered vice, the lever operation is great, it grips hook sizes from tiny up 5/0 with no problem. the rotation control is also really effective. I was using a cheaper offset type vice before this, but I find the Kaiman vice much easier to use with no issues as the hook is set well forward of the vice body. Comes with a spring loop and allen keys. for adjustment. Base has a good weight to it also, whole thing has a very solid feeling, really pleased with it. I tie mostly predator flies, saltwater streamers and small baitfish 5/0 down to trout size blobs and streamers.

This is a great vice! Compared to my cheap old Indian made vice, the quality of the Stonfo Kaiman is amazing. Admittedly it costs more but I can see this lasting me a lifetime. Like many other folk I was unsure if the plastic-coated pedestal base would be stable enough but I have had no problems with it - it has quite some weight to it and I now actually prefer this style of pedestal base compared to a c-clamp. The jaws are solid and strong yet small enough to handle tiny fly hooks, the lever is nice and quick for swapping hooks, and the rotation is smooth and adds a whole new level of convenience to my fly tying. Absolutely recommended!

Delighted with this vise. So easy to place and remove hooks and it grips so strongly! So much easier than my previous (good quality) lever vise which could be fiddly to adjust when changing hook size. A pleasure to use.

Excellent vice. Simple to use with strong grip on wide range of hooks. I mainly tie small flies and it works well with size 16 and 18. Heavy base that doesn't move when tying. Easy rotary system that is adjustable.
