i feel i've been cheated ! my positioning vise never came with one of those.

after one week of use, i can t go without anymore..
what was more meant as a joke , turned out to be an ergonomic little miracle..
unfolded ( stretched out)and turned between thumb and fingers,it allows to open and close the jaws extremely fast, while folded and pointing downwards it fits perfectly on the round, soft muscle between palm and thumb, giving great control on clamping pressure..
and yes, you can even open bottles with it ..
pm me if you want pic and dimensions,in case you want to give it a try and make one for yourself...
such a great device...

You must be super strong to have a ball vice attached to your bottle opener, Bet you won't loose it. LOL

Beautiful work, but don't bottles have twist off tops now a days???

That's a great idea Frank! The only missing part is a bottle of 'Eau de Liège!!:biggrin: Paulie

Only for the lazy people of the world. Most if not all craft beers have pressed tops.
