Who has a Zyliss, zVise2, Gripmaster multi vise thing?

Yes, I've got one called a "Zyliss profi-king Plus" that's still in its (slightly battered) box; I'd forgotten I had it until seeing your question. Buying it seemed like a good idea at the time but it's had very little use and looks virtually new - maybe a candidate for eBay if I can persuade myself it won't come in useful at some time.

I've never really found any vice which clamps to the bench any real use.

I do have one which as a ball joint (on the electronics bench) which is in constant use, but the base is screwed to the bench.

I have seen that model mentioned in my Googling.

It's one of those things that a good demo might convince even people who weren't regularly building or doing stuff 'must have'. ;-)

(I've been known to buy stuff, partly because of how much effort and often humour the demonstrator has put into it). ;-) [1]

In hindsight I think it's one of those things that could really suit a tiny percentage of the (d-i-y) population very well, especially someone requiring an extra pair of hands in a more mobile role possibly?

I think one of the major flaws is in it's basic format, the vise jaws are probably at 90 degrees to how most people would want them, without using the alternative T nut type mount.
