From HMH:
“Our immediate objective is to implement some improvements in form and function on our current lineup of vises while making some process improvements that will allow us to move parts through the shop faster and more efficiently”, says Larrabee, “but the vises will still be hand finished and assembled by hand, one at a time.” He adds, “We also anticipate resurrecting some of the earlier HMH products while we also design and build the next generation of HMH vises.”
Since 1975, HMH fly tying vises have been giving tyers years of dependable service, longer than any other brand. The original HMH vise revolutionized vise design incorporating components precision-machined from the highest quality materials, and design features never before found together in a fly tying vise, including 360-degree rotation, an exclusive disc drag rotary tension adjustment, and quick-change, hardened, interchangeable jaws. HMH vises today still adhere to the same principals of simplicity, elegance, and power in its expanding line of fly tying vises and accessories. HMH currently manufactures five models of vises — the SX, Spartan, Standard the Premium Hook/Tube crossover vise, and the Spinner tube fly vise — and a complete line of tubes and accessories for tying tube flies.
