Pin vice problems

So, I went to use my GW pin vice with the tiny drill bit that came with the package.
It's too small -- the pin vice can't hold it. Yeah, that's right... a two-sided GW pin vice that comes with a bit it can't hold.
Anyone know of a better pin vice that actually holds tiny bits?
How's the one Heresy sells?

What is a two sided pin vice?
I take it is the one with the "thing"- (technichal term) you take out and turn around for smaller bits? Never had that problem when I was using them (even the small drill bit provided in the GW pack)

You might have a faulty one, I think mine was GW (can't remember 100%) and i've never had a problem.
If you're after another one past experience suggests they are probably cheaper and exactly the same purchased from elsewhere though.

Yeah, it's the two-sided one.
And I thought it was just me, but then I went to the downtown GW store today and asked one of the staffers about it.
He got his pin vice out of his paint box and tried the same drill bit.
He had the same problem.

yeah i had this problem for a while, until i found the other holder that is mysteriously hidden in the barrel (the upper part of it).
hope this helps a little (unless you found that bit and then this advice is useless)
