Hackle pliers for small parachute flies.

The narrow tip does not obstruct your view near the parachute post you are hackling.
Roll from top to bottom and secure the hackle at the base of the parachute post.
Elastomer rubber in the joints acts as a shock absorber.

The inside of the pliers has been sandblasted for a non-slip finish.
The edge of the tip is rounded all around to catch hacklestalks and make them less likely to be damaged by the edge.
The pliers and grip move freely, and the grip rotates smoothly.
The shock absorbers are made of elastomer rubber on the joints.
