I've got one of those lacers for putting Clipper lacing in baler belts,that lays down on the floor and has two levers that ratchet the jaws together. Over the years it's gotten worse and worse when it comes to loading the lacing in it. I just have a devil of a time getting the lacing down in far enough to slide the rod through it.
I've got one here that goes in a vice too. I hardly ever used that one because I couldn't get the vice to tighten down enough to get it in without having to use a hammer and anvil to get it in the rest of the way.
I put that vice model in the hydraulic press. What a sweet way to lace belts! That thing loads as smooth as silk and the press really mashes it in there. I laced up a spare a week or so ago,and two more this morning. Takes no time at all.
