Nick, I have a Danvise as well, but bought the extension so I could more easily tie the saltwater flies that I normally tie. Everything Martin has detailed is true, but the adjustment of the the jaws with the turn screw on the opposite side is only a large inconvencience if you forget it is a rotary vise...just turn the vise!! You do have to be careful about making sure you adjust the jaws for the size hook, so as not to spread them. I'm still getting used to it after tying on a Thompson Model A for about 20 years... (The Thompson is still up in my office...)
