 |
|
I was looking for a Paramo Vise since the Record Vises are now gone. Can
they be found in the USA?
Also, anyone have one of the Record look-alikes now being sold by LeeValley
for about the last 6 months? They claim to be a high quality vise made in
eastern Europe and comparable to the Record. |

Did Lee Valley state that? If so, you can believe it. They always put their
money where their mouth is.

Yes, Lee Valley customer support told me it was a quality vise made very
close to the Record standards by a small company in Czech Republic. It
weighs the exact same, looks the same, but has a different release mechanism
and it is much cheaper than the Record, so I am still not completely
convinced. I would like to talk to someone who actually bought one.

Our company was a distributor of Paramo tools for many years. A few
years ago they went into bankruptcy and that is that. No vises from the
UK that I know of in the Record/Paramo design.
