I've always got a pair of eyebrow tweezers with my lace tools, but the point of the hackle pliers is that they work on the reverse principle to tweezers - you have to squeeze them to release the thread. So you squeeze to open them, clamp the thread, then you can put them down, holding the thread tight, and use both your hands to manipulate the other end of thread
