Renzetti Inc., is a family owned business that started its operations in Romansville PA in the early 70's. I started making fly tying hand tools in a one car garage. Frustrated with the fly tying vises that were available at the time, I started working on the Presentation 3000 with the input and support of my brother Robin, that was not the first vise designed by Renzetti, however it was the first True Rotary vise made. Since its beginning, the Presentation 3000 became the vise of choice of the elite and at a retail price of $199.95 it was the most expensive vise available. By 1977 my hobby had become a part time job, and in 1978 I resigned full time job to open Renzetti Custom Machine's doors in a now 3 car garage. Eight years later, a new manufacturing facility was build and in 1988 Renzetti Inc, as it in know today, was formally introduced.
Since the early 70's Renzetti's hand tying tools and fly tying vises were seldom mostly heard of and very few shops were carrying it. The Orvis Company was my first retailer and where I met my long time friend John Harder. By the late 80's the Traveler and the Presentation Series Vises were introduced and Renzetti started attending the consumer and manufacturing shows. By attending these shows I was able to be in direct contact with many tyers from around the world and listen to their feedback and suggestions.
In 1996, tired of the long cold winters in Pennsylvania I moved with my family and Lois and Ed, two of our key associates to Titusville, FL., and Renzetti Inc. found a new home at 8800 Grissom Pkwy.
Renzetti Inc. currently employees 10 associates, including myself, Lily and our 18 year old son. We have a well trained, wonderful, caring staff that makes everything possible. Our primary business is the manufacturing of the finest fly tying and rod building equipment in the world, but we also provide engineering and manufacturing services to many other industries around the country. Renzetti, Inc. owns many patents and trademark and was the first fly tying vise manufacturer to offer a True Rotary Vise.

This Renzetti Traveler 2200 Fly Tying Vise is really great and this Holiday event is making it even more affordable which is really awesome, so I would definitely recommend this Renzetti Traveler 2200 fly tying vise to any fly tyer looking for a quality and affordable fly tying vise.
This Renzetti Traveler 2200 fly tying vise is really great. It's the perfect vise for me because I like to tie flies in funny places and I just simply take it with me!
The Renzetti Traveler 2200 Vise is a great fly tying vise for the low price and is perfect for tying flies with. This vise is very affordable and makes tying flies a breeze.
Purchased this vise as my first non-beginner's vise after lots of thought, consideration of reviews, opinions from others, etc. After my first tying session with it, I was kicking myself for not having gotten the Traveler 2200 much sooner. It's simple and easy to operate, and works very smoothly. The "true rotary" feature does exactly what it's advertised to do, and does it well. Tying is now even more of a pleasure than it was before. Also, a word re: service. The good folks at Platte River have provided wonderful, exemplary service regarding the purchase, shipping, and a small shipping/delivery snafu that had me somewhat anxious for a bit. I cannot overstate how pleased I am with the service and the decision to purchase the vise from them. They are not a local shop for me, but I plan on patronizing them in the future nonetheless.
