Thank you all for the suggestions! The simpler of the visors I have is the Donegan and I recommend it without reservations. It's lightweight and allows for the magnification to be changed. Maybe an LED would make it better, but at the expense of the added weight.

That's a great suggestion to only buy the tools when you know you'll be needing them. I had a friend who had more money than common sense, and on more than one occasion witnessed him buying tools that he later discovered already had stored, unused, in his garage.

It needs a few alterations, but is a very good small tool.........

Table Swivel Vise
dfariswheel, unfortunately, I think right now the Forster vise is out of the question for me, but how do you recommend altering the HFT vise? I was thinking about adding a small drill press type vise, for using with hand tools, but the one you linked is more adjustable and can also be screwed to the bench.

Cheers
