rigging vise

[chesnutt]

I'm finally planning on learning and producing a bunch of splices to gradually replace the standing rigging on our 1957 wooden schooner, and I need to equip myself with a suitable vise.

Current diameters in our 7x7 galvanized rigging are <=3/4" so I was looking at the "Little Beaver" on this site: http://www.beavertoolsales.com/wireroperigging.htm

I assume the Z2 (updated Z Vise) might also be an option based on the fact that Brion features it, but can't really tell. We have a schooner and I'll end up making quite a few splices, so I'd like to get something suitable.

Sorry to post about something so basic, but I've read alot of threads, and done a bunch of google searching, but am not finding alot of info about the options.

cheers!
