I have tried so many different styles and brands of hackle pliers… English style, Umpqua, Dr Slick, etc etc and I kept searching for the ones that I felt were comfortable, did what they are supposed to, and ergonomical. Due to my cancer, my hands have lost some strength, so things like English style pliers are difficult for me to use. Anyway, after trying several different types of pliers, I found the Tyflyz Tools Hackle Pliers. They are PERFECT for me. Comfortable, they hold the hackle well, and the design makes wrapping hackle fast and easy. If you haven’t tried these yet, I HIGHLY suggest you do. They are fantastic !
