Extreme Bobbin Holder

Looks and works great, like everything I’ve bought from Regal

The Extreme Bobbin Holder itself is a 5, the fact that Regal does not include it with the Revolution makes it a 4. When tying with the Revolution parallel to the bench the average bobbin holder is not long enough, the Extreme definitely gives you that needed length, it is well made and functions well with the Revolution. Come on Regal, even Renzetti gives you the appropriate bobbin holder with their Traveler Series.

I bought a revolution vise finally. I thought since I was spending the money I should go all out for an official Regal bobbin holder. So I went with the extreme. I use the holders enough that I want one but I don’t use them enough that if a vise doesn’t come with one it’s a deal breaker.

I like the brass parts and the heavy wire they use for the longer than average arm. My vise is set horizontal which makes the vise itself pretty long. I don’t think a universal holder would be long enough to work very well.

That being said, they used cheap white thumb s c r e w s for all the adjustment points. They stick out like a sore thumb and just screams cheap. Every picture on the internet, including the one above shows black ones. They are cheap and plastic as well but a bit more subtle. I have a regal tool bar and that thumb s c r e w is very nice. Not sure why this holder wouldn’t have something nicer and nearly $60. I think regal dropped the ball here.

Although I think this holder could have been finished off better, I am happy to have it to compliment my vise set up.
