PEAK Bobbin Rest

I just broke my attachment last night and have to buy another. The reason it broke was completely my fault and nothing to do with the quality of the cradle itself. I needed to move the position up and it had stuck, so I applied more force without thinking until the bracket broke. I've had my Peak Vise over ten years and love everything about it. Over the course of those ten years a lot of dirt built up on the shaft right where I always held it to move the cradle up and down and I just never noticed it until it was too late. That's why it stuck and that's why it broke. Moral of the story is to clean the shaft once in a while to insure smooth movement of the cradle to avoid the mistake I made.

I put this on a Griffin vise that I got for free. It is far more than I had thought it would be from the picture. The "plastic" portion that goes over the shaft is actually a very stout delrin type material and slides easily when I want it, but stays where I leave it. The quality of this alone really wants to make me buy a Peak vise. The screw stays at the tension you set it to so you can rotate the cradle when you want. It's just fantastic!

This is something that you just cannot do without as a tier. Make sure and pick one up if your Peak vise didn't come with one.
