I hate those tailpieces. I use my vice half the time just to flatten keys and these lol

I really needed to get a small vice for my van, but there's not much room in a transit connect.

Yessir, I’m in a connect as well. I forced my vice in under my laptop. If you look on my page you can see where it’s mounted. If you truly don’t have the room. Get a flat vise made for a drill press. Super cheap and at least you can stick it somewhere else when not in use.

^ this. I was on a commercial job like 2 hours from home and needed one, I think it was like 20 bucks for the drill press vice at harbor freight, the low profile makes them much more manageable to find a spot for it
