Thread: Z vise Revisited

Hi all,
Just picked up the z-vice2+.
Anyone have the dvd or know where I can get one?
I'm hoping its like the Triton DVD with hours and hours of how to.
Thanks in advance.

There are several versions; HERE is a link to the You-Tube video of the Oz-Vice which pretty much covers everything it can do. The DVD which came with mine was basically the same.

Yes, watched them all.
Thanks for the reply.

Much better to know there's nothing more than not to know if I'm missing out.

I bought one of these at a Brisbane show ages ago for some DIY tasks. Something like 2009. I only used it a couple of times and one of the thumb screw nuts broke. I thought I'd been ripped off and tossed it into the back of the shed. Many years later someone in NZ took over the dealership and I reached out to him. He sent over a new part even with no receipt. It fixed the issue and it has been fine ever since. That excellent customer service from the NZ guy completely reversed my attitude to this tool.

I made an assembly table on wheels and so I got this vise as a temporary idea until I could get a proper workbench and vise. Well, several years later I still have not built a workbench or fitted a proper vise. For the last 2 - 3 years this Z-vise just stays on the end of my assembly table. Due to my limited space this is kinda handy because I can remove it or move it to the other side, widen the clamps, use for wood or metal, etc. And so this still the only vise I have.

I have gone from thinking it was a waste of money to having ended up getting a lot of use out of this and got my money worth.

Of course it is nowhere near as good as a proper vise but it is functional. I finally bought a proper quick release vise over 2 years ago. Expecting to make a workbench. But I never got around to building the workbench and now we are moving next year and so it will be at least another year.

What I'm saying is that if the choice is between no vise and the Z vise then get the Z vise.
