Well, since Allan reminded me that since I have a rotary vise, in theory I already have rotating hackle pliers, and since I hadn’t actually hit the “order” button, I just deleted the pliers and jacked up the number of foam spider bodies I ordered which I KNOW I use all the time LOL.. Chuck

Chuck: I can't help but laugh, we have been delicately trying to tell you not to bother because we hardly ever use rotary hackle pliers, but you bought both sizes anyhow. Oh, I'm still laughing 😃 Neville (Nev) Gosling "A Minute Worked is 60 Seconds of Fishing Time Wasted" On Mar 12, 2015, at 10:34 PM, Chuck Alexander <chuckalexan...@centurylink.net> wrote: Well, since these are so cheap, ($3.45 and $4.45 respectively) I went ahead and ordered two pair as one has a short handle of about 1 1/2” I think and the other has a 4 1/2” handle with a built in half hitch tool on the end of the handle. 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.
