I like it for the ease of doing things like Dave is going to do,
strengthening hackle or herl to make a more resilient fly. Speed is
also an issue. Many of the simple tasks are much cleaner and more
uniform done on the Nor Vise.
In actuality, due to the board setup, I've found that my vise stays
put together longer. I tie more flies.

I am kind of intrigued by this.....how is it for tying flies with an
asymmetric body, such as a pheasant tail nymph, that has a shell back?
