Pettijean Magic Tool Collecting Dust???
I bought the Pettijean Magic Tool about a year ago and tied some flies with it. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. I then put it aside and it's been collecting dust for the last 10 months. Anyone else have that experience? On the more positive side of the coin, how many of our board members keep the Magic Tool right on their desk top because you use it constantly? Just curious! 8T :D

Re: Pettijean Magic Tool Collecting Dust???
it is a really cool tool that makes dubbing from feathers... but i make my feather dubbing by hand :?

8T,
I got mine a few years ago and still use it quite a bit, especially the clamps. However, I do use it in streaks, but I guess that's to be expected because it's not made to use with a lot of types of flies. I do like it and use it, though.

I got y'all beat...
...I bought one and NEVER used it... :shock:
I was just looking at it the other day thinking...hmmm, I wonder if that will keep my potato chip bag closed?
Re: Pettijean Magic Tool Collecting Dust???
Hey, if you don't use it, i will take it =P. A freind of mine said that it makes an awsome nymph pattern, and a cracy spinner.

Bamboozle,
:lol: You gave me the best laugh of the morning. I bet those clips are great for closing snack-food bags. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who never gets around to using the magic tool. In a similar vein, I have three sets of brass wing burners (mayfly, caddis & stone fly) that I never use either. You don't know of an alternative use for those do you? 8T :D

8T,
Would you like a fourth set of wing burners?
