    Default New tool

    Went to hancock fabricks this evening to get some new scisors and some white wool yarn for fly tying... I get the white but its easy to dye it different colours... Anyhow, lookin around in the bead/ribbon section for some wing material, I found a bead brabber tool... Works great and makes it much easier to put a bead on a fly hook... Also found another use... I caint stand gitin glue all over my fingers while im putting eyes on flies... with this grabber I can pick up a eye, place a bit of glue on it & put it rite where i need to without gitin any glue on my fingers, less stuff on my hands to snagg & break or frey silk floss or tying thread... Heres a link to one...

    Default I got something like that and it only cost me a co-pay!

    I use a medicine syringe, that I use, that was for giving medicine to my dogs. If you have young children, they also supply these (smaller size) for the amoxicillin for strep throat....

    Great little tool!

    If you look at something long enough, sooner or later, you will find another use for it!
