Jay Smii just shared his development of a new set of hackle pliers. Looks like an interesting design. Gotta give them a try. Not sure about the rotary use of them. Will let all know when they arrive.

Byron,
Different people use hackle pliers in different. For my use i need the inside of the finger opening to bee smooth all the way round, esp the furthest back from the jaws. I insert my indexfinger and rotate around to wrap hackle or other material under steady tension. I am not sure the spring coils will allow that easily enough.
Cheers,
Hans W

As I said above, I am anxious to try one. You never can tell without actually trying one. My thoughts anyway.
It looks like a good solid tool but the question will be is, how functional. Perhaps I may buy one, just in case they don't last on the market.
