I've been using a Renzetti for the best part of three decades and would feel lost without it. But, I never tied in huge quantities and certainly never commercially.
I have a #18 Royal Wulff that I watched Lee Wulff tie for me personally with, you guessed it, no vise at all just his bare fingers. Quite an impressive feat which I'll never forget. (And the man's fingers were as fat as sausages.) When I was a lot younger, I saw Lee do that many times at the museum in Roscoe. Their place is just up the road from my camp/club in the Catskills. Trump Jr. has a place on the same road.
My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here.

Inexpensive rotary vice is an oxymoron. I still use my Thompson A vise even though I have much more expensive ones.
Lee Wulff was pretty amazing first he would tie a fly with no tools and then cast almost a full line with no rod. I think there is a video of him catching an Atlantic Salmon this way.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
