Seeking hackle pliers with large thumb pads

[Greg H]

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

I have two of those one larger than the other....the pads on both are not all that large.

Orvis did sell some like that. Also he may look at the Bull Dog artery clamp, that's what I tie with. I got mine from Joe Fox at http://www.dettetroutflies.com. You'll have to call him or email him as he does not list them on his web page.

I like the first set with the finger pads on them. I think the pads are good to clamp your materials with but, a loop is still the way to go as far as wrapping your materials unless, you use a rotary vise.
