Hey Don, Reuven responded to a mail (with fly) from me, a couple of days ago.

How did I get into this? Did I miss an email? But thank you! They are getting harder to see these days. I may have to use my glasses one day, or even magnification. I did get a few #32 cree hackles on that midge cree saddle that Dr. Tom sent me. They look like multicolor threads until flared.

I love seeing them magnified, especially the ones tied on size 32 Mustards (I never did find one!). All hail DonO, master of the micros. R On 14/03/2015 11:13 AM, MartinWestbeek wrote: Yup. I have the C&F hackle pliers and they help me tie parachutes when the hackle is getting small. Great tool!

Allan give Chuck a break. LOL A rotary vise is useless for winding parachute hackles. The swivel hackle pliers is the way to go on them. That is all I have used for about 25 years. The long handle one is the best for that. I can show what I mean at the show., Gee now I am picking on you. LOL I am in a good mood this morning. BTW, the poppers are finished and you can pick them up at the Sowbug.

Guess it’s the only way I can find out of they are my cup of tea or not. My Daddy did a lot of mechanic work his whole life and he used to tell me “Son, you can’t have too many tools” LOL.. Guess I’ll find out if he was right. In my mechanics tool box and my tool shed, most tools I own I hardly ever use , but when I need them I REALLY need them.

I have some, rarely use them, but don't usually use this kind of hackle pliers tip as I find it breaks the hackle more often than the standard pliers tips that come together. I think it is just a matter of preference.

Do they work good?? Are they better than regular hackle pliers. Only problem I foresee is that after you wrap the hackle, those rotary pliers will hang down a lot farther than normal hackle pliers, making getting your lock in thread wraps behind the hackle would be harder to do than using reg. hackle pliers. Am I missing something there?? Thanks for any pros or cons. They are only $3.45 from Stockard, which is the place I’m ordering from, but if I’ll never use them, that’s $3.45 I could use on something I will use.
