I did not, nor any printed material. I think this may predate widespread use of electronic instructions. I've watched some of the promo videos for its current kin (Z-Vise, something from Australia, the larger current Swiss vise, etc.), and everything seems pretty straight forward.dusty wrote:Did you receive a CD containing instructions on how to use the Zyliss.

I have several of these vises and always find new ways to use them. The older profit king has about the same accessories as the latest model. Most of mine came from garage sales or auctions. Try this site for more info.

Take this with a grain of salt... The below statements may not be quite accurate, but are what I was able to discern over a few weeks of watching ebay postings:
The Profi-King Plus comes with everything that is shown in Larry's post to include the drill holder and turntable.
The Profi-King regular comes without the drill holder and the turntable.
I don't know how useful the drill holder will be as that seems to be something more European (I could be wrong, but I've never noticed a mounting spot on US drills); might be something you could use for other purposes, though.
The turntable may be useful for more people. I did want one as I believe I'll have occasional use for it.

I have the drill holder and it fits none of my drills. I don't know if that is because it is European or not. I just know it doesn't fit. Other than that, I use my Zyliss regularly. It is mounted on my main work bench.

Re: Zyliss Vise
So I would say that this is not the plus. Is it a good deal?

Mark,
I paid $95 to include shipping on ebay, seemed to be a good price for the "Plus" model for the preceding 2-3 weeks. A couple non-Plus kits, not necessarily Profi-King line, sold for something like $10-20 less with shipping during the same period.
If you search on ebay, be aware that there are some knock-offs, Gripmaster is one, that are not Zyliss.

Re: Zyliss Vise
Well I drove over with a hundred dollar bill and came back with the vice. Brand new in the original box and I can already see it was a hundred dollars well spent. Look for pictures later on my other post.
