Hi all. I’m based in the UK and I purchased and imported a bunch of Wicked Edge Pro stuff (plus micro adjust arms and other assorted bits) over ten years ago, back around 2013. It’s been amazing and still going strong but starting now to get a little gap at the top of my jaws and knives don’t always sit up perfectly straight. See attached pics.
What are my options for dealing with this? Haven’t been on these forums for a long time (sorry) but looking at the products now the designs seem to have moved on a lot so don’t really know what to do, any guidance appreciated, thanks.
I would gladly send you a replacement for that older version standard vise if you pay just the postage to the UK. If that is something you are interested in, message me and we’ll work out the details.
Thank you Marc, that’s a very generous offer and I’d be happy to take you up on it.
Just before I do, please can I ask if it’s new or used, and if it’s identical to my existing one? Apologies if that seems like a slightly flippant thing to ask, it’s just that since buying my system I’ve been a bit ignorant of product developments over the years, so not sure if there were any vise jaw improvements made after 2013 that I should be considering, as I don’t mind paying if there’s an upgrade option out there for me.
I can see the current product line-up looks very different to my model, but not sure if anything came in between mine and the current crop that might be better and still compatible with mine, perhaps?
But if not then yes, that’s a very generous offer and I’d be happy to pay the postage, thanks very much.
Yes, there has been an update or upgrade to the new Standard Vise design. I am offering you one of the original, old version Standard Vise Models like the one you showed in the photos.
The new, upgrade vise may be a better option for you to order directly from Wicked Edge. This new vise maybe easier to use. Here is a video upgrade discussion I produced.
Thanks Marc. Have watched that vid (part 1) but can’t find any links to parts 2, 3, 4 or 5, please could you link me to them directly?
When I look at your channel it shows no content. Are they private links? Tried searching for them as well but nothing from your channel in the results.
Edit: Ignore the below, it’s now showing all 5 parts for me, not sure what was wrong before but have watched them through. Thanks. I think I’ll look more closely at this upgrade as it seems like it might be a good move / purchase. Appreciate your help
So I just added the $75 upgrade jaws to my cart and had a look to see the shipping to the UK… There are a few options but the cheapest starts at about $300 and it goes up from there.
That seems a little prohibitive …One dealer in the UK (Heinnie) but they don’t have the vise kits.
