The hackle pliers model CFT-120 Midge works
perfectly for normal hackles as well for parachutes. The pliers have a
pair of superb grips on the clip and, plenty of purchase area under the
flared points too. The flexible rubber neck between the clip and the
finger-loop is absolutely new to me and although you think at first it
will not last for long, you will change your mind quickly when using it.
It’s very solid and seems very good quality rubber indeed. The elastic
motion surely will help prevent the hackle quills from snapping while
winding. It’s a brilliant little tool.
