Description
Choose the 8173 if you want a pedestal-mounted spring vise and the ability to turn the fly as you work. The distinction matters in this range: Tiemco lists a separate spring pedestal model under code 053000181721. Match the complete code if the rotary version is the feature you are buying.

Fit and buying advice
The base sits on the table, so look at the space you need behind and beside the jaws when using scissors or the thread holder. The maker's model table identifies the mechanism and base but does not establish a numbered hook range for this variant. For an unusual hook, prioritize an option with published fit information.
Questions about this tool
How can I tell the two Sunrise spring vises apart?
The rotary pedestal model ends in 1731 in Tiemco's code. The other spring pedestal model ends in 1721.
Can I set it up on a table with an enclosed apron?
The base sits on top of the table and does not need to grip its edge. Check the available surface and the space around the head.
Should I buy it for an unusually large hook?
Confirm the jaw fit first. If you need to buy from a stated numeric range, compare models that publish one.
