    Default Seeking hackle pliers with large thumb pads

    I have an older friend who ties a lot of flies and is finding most hackle pliers hurt his fingers. I have suggested (and he has tried on his own) all the usual 'tweezer' style. The only ones he finds comfortable are the electric clip style.
    There is a thread bobbin with a large thumb pad. Does anyone know who sells a hackle plier (#1067 in the pic) of the same design?
    Thanks, Greg
