Mark, I find it interesting that you have not returned your Dingo yet. I know you and I talked about it. ??? (at the sow bug 2004 and again ID Falls Expo a couple months later. I have tied 1900 dozen flys in mine to date. (just quit my yearly large commercial order last month). In all of my tying I have never had a hook come loose, is easy to get the proper tension and the only fault I can find with the vise is I might like a bit larger foot print on the base. I have and use both the Dingo I with clamp (not rotary) and mostly use the Dingo II which is rotary. I rate my Dingo for holding power right at the top and I have tied on every vise ever manufactured. I talked with Peter over a year ago and he said he is still waiting for you to return whatever you do not like. If you are interested in selling it to me, e-mail me off list. I made this offer to you at the Sow bug and it still stands. Denny
