You can also solder a penny on either side of them,and you don't then have to buy them. Cost= about $.50..............

I put shrink tubing on mine, and they now work a lot better. they grip the hackle more and don't cut through it as often. thanks for the tip

Glad it helped WWFF. I know it sure made a difference for me.

Now, if I could learn how to tie flies I could use the hackle pliers.
