Yes.

Not everyone uses a rotary vise. In fact some actually prefer not to use them, if you can imagine their foolishness...sigh. They use the outdated technique of winding the bobbin around the hook shank instead of spinning the vise. Crude, yet effective, like using a paperclip to make dubbing loops instead of a well crafted and designed tool.

Of course there are many ways to employ a dubbing loop. This tool is one more, and is a pleasure to work with, but obviously not for everyone.
