Master Dubbing Twister

The spreading jaws feature works great, it gives a lot of control over the loop. And spinning just goes and goes. The only fault is that the metal jaws came with sharp edges from the factory. Sharp enough to cut the thread loop when opening and closing the jaws. I had to deburr the edges with a dremel.

mine, purchased a couple years ago, does not have any sharp edges as mentioned in other reviews. I routinely use it with 6/0 or 70D nylon thread and have not ever had it cut the thread. Compared to other dubbing spinners, the best use is for peacock herl or mixed material dubbing loops- by far. The clamp action makes these easy. Good tool for all dubbing loop work including big materials for streamers. Yes it is expensive but it is nicely made and should last forever.

OK, first, the instructions did warn that the tender thread would be a problem (my words). I found that less then slick thread, and/or tender thread would indeed break. Normally it would break at the hooks. I found that the hooks had rough edges on them. It appears as if it is from the paint. I took my rotary tool (aka Dremel) and used the fine tapered stone to work the edges. I then used a tapered ceramic polishing stone followed up with the polishing felt tip and red rouge. It did a good job and unless you have a heavy hand it works as well as advertised in every way. It is apparent that only a few are rough, but, if yours is, and you have the tools, and are careful, the above method will work for you. For very fine or tender thread I still advise you use one of your old favorites from before.
