I got a "rubber leg tool" just before we left for the summer, but I can't find it now - should be perfect for threading legs through bodies.
I recently got one of Marc Petijean's CDC stackers. Works quite well!
Dyna-King Dubbing Spin Master. Resisted buying a dedicated device to help with dubbing loops for years, but finally broke down and picked one up. Still undecided if I really like using one, but it sure does make spinning up a dubbing loop faster.
I changed my lighting to a LED bulb and really like it...the stand I got is old fashioned but very handy to adjust.
The hell with dubbing now... This stuff is pretty slick. Pre-spun dubbing strand, impregnated with CDC preen oil... Quick and easy caddis and mayfly bodies. This muskrat gray is a perfect match for the local caddis. I think this is the first new thing I have bothered to use in the last ten or fifteen years, since I fossilized.

Hackle pliers!
I replaced the chair I sit at to tie; didn't think it was such a big deal, but I was wrong. That, and I found a local (really hate to pay shipping for spools of thread) shop that carries MFC 8/0 thread in colors besides dark brown.

I can't wade anymore, so I fish from a Step 2 garden bench.

Certainly not new (SORRY) BUT , my handiest tool ever. The "Ty-Rite" Little ball point barrel shaped gizmo with a tiny spring loaded hook much like the plastic red and white "strike indicator/bobber". Holds your fly/ hook while ..................whatever.
