I have no idea what that is but set screws in the side are real handy.

Ordered mine off some flint knappers supply website. Have one end super fine, the other just normal so I just loosen the screw with the Allen wrench(built in the handle) then swap ends and tighten. Fast, easy, simple.

Flintknappingtools.com sells a 'twist lock' pressure flaker. Not sure if it's what you are talking about but you can find it here:

I think the "choke" you're talking about is called a "pin vice".  It works similar to a drill chuck and hold various diameter wire, pins, etc.

I built a new one on Sunday. I used a section of old tent pole, and a section of copper tubing. I soldered more tubing around the first piece, drilled and tapped it. Then soldered the copper into the tent pole. I'll throw a picture up when I get home.
