Once you get the process down they are a piece of cake. I have installed probably 100+ of them and they are a very well built product.

Agreed. Especially easy on blank balls. Only time its a pain is when you have to do an existing ball where the thumbhole isnt centered in the original slug(This is mostly with balls that have existing 1-3/8" slugs), or the bevel travels outside the bit diameter. Otherwise, it's a great system. Have probably drilled close to 70 with ITs, and have not had one come back due to failure..(knock on wood).

I was the guinea pig for my ball driller when we decided to try the Vise ITs. We both reviewed the instructions to make sure we understood everything, then he drilled my first ball with it. The first ball was a little touchy just because we needed to figure out how to set the drill press so we could repeat the process. However, once we figured it out, it's actually very easy to install the Vise ITs. It only takes a couple minutes to do. My ball driller would rather install one of these than the Turbo Switch Grips since the process involves several steps, but the steps are simple and pretty easy to repeat, so every ball ends up absolutely identical. (It's also easier than trying to oval out and bevel a standard thumb slug!!!)
