"Fractal Vise (a 3-D printed model of an antique/ rare steel vise):
Very clean printing and surface cleanup so it looks good, and (although it’s plastic), it’s made to grip “firmly” (that was the description in ETSY). All the surface-to-surface contact areas are smooth and slightly greased.
I know it’s plastic, and I need to be careful and tighten slowly (to not fracture the plastic), but I’ve put a couple of odd-shaped curved hand tools in it, and it grips as surely as if I gripped it in my own hands. Just taking care not to overdo tightening, I can use this (I hope) for a long time. I use wood-handled tools a lot, and it’s tough to hold them still to shape the handle a bit. This vise works great. Cinching it down gently is like putting a small screw into wood: Just snug enough to hold securely—- and no more."
