The Story
The Stonfo Transformer Vise is built like a precision machine, giving you total hook holding confidence while still letting you switch setups fast when your tying plans change.
Features
Three-in-one quick coupling system - A fast coupling device on the shaft lets you transform the vise from an in-line vise to a tube-fly vise or a streamer vise with a simple click. This saves time at the bench because you can change styles without tearing down your whole station.
Full rotary shaft with dual ball bearings - The stainless steel shaft is in-line full rotary, supported by dual precision ball bearings for smooth rotation. With adjustable rotary tension and the ability to lock the position at any angle, you can wrap materials with better control and check symmetry without taking the fly out of the jaws.
Stable pedestal base with built-in organization - The steady pedestal base helps the vise stay planted during heavy thread pressure and firm material pulls. It also includes an integrated tool rack and a connection point for a magnifying glass (item 642), keeping key tools close and your tying area cleaner.
Included tying accessories for faster workflows - The Transformer comes with a rounded shape bobbin cradle, parachute plier, adjustable spring material clip, and pivot thread cradle. These add-ons help manage thread and materials during spinning, dubbing, and parachute work, especially when you want to keep both hands on the fly.
Adjustability / Ergonomics
The Transformer is built to fit your tying posture, not force you into one position. Adjustable height helps you set the hook at a comfortable eye level for long sessions, and the locking and indexing features let you keep the fly at the angle you like while you work. The vise is also reversible for left hand tying, so the rotary direction and control layout can match your natural hand position and reduce wrist strain.
Hook Range / Jaw Strength
The Transformer uses interchangeable jaws, letting you choose the jaw style that matches your hook wire and pattern type. The jaw system is designed for secure clamping, and it supports confident tying when you need a firm hold for tight thread torque, hair work, or heavier streamer materials. With its cam-style control and adjustable settings, you can dial in grip for different wire gauges without fighting the jaws on every hook change.
More Info
- Action: In-line Full Rotary
- Base Type: Steady Pedestal with Integrated Tool Rack
- Best for: All-around tying, tube flies, streamers, and tyers who want one vise that can switch roles quickly
