Mike I just wanted to publicly say how well this chain vice works. Every time I use the Gen 4 I am very happy that I let go of the money. thanks again
I have a Gen 4 as well, hand delivered by Mike himself just this week...
I used it a bit today and am quite pleased. I opened mine up added some O-rings over the studs to create a bit of a spring action to open the jaws as I find that makes it easier for me to drop the chain in.
What kind of a sick guy goes around looking for a chain that needs to be sharpened??

Only you Mark!
The o-ring idea sounds fantastic and I will up grade all vices in the future.
Why didn't I think of that.........

On the other hand, some of the best ideas come from customer feedback when manufacturers choose to listen.I'd be out if a job then..........

O rings,Mark that's a great idea.Simple little thing make it that much better.That's what makes this place so great.If Arboristsite was lost because of the hacking,it would have been a sad day indeed.The people here are top notch to say the least.
I think a wavy washer like a metric lock washer, or perhaps a spring washer like McCulloch used to use in the clutches might even work better provided they were less than 0.050" thick.
A quick look at McMaster Carr shows several possibilities from 0.010 to 0.030" thick.

Well those of you who just ordered vises i have included the proper o-rings and for those that would like the up grade please pm me and ill mail some to you or a simple trip to ace hardware will do the trick.
8mm id x 1.5mm thick will work great!!
