The tip of the pliers has been treated with enough barrel polishing. It also has a non-slip finish to ensure the grip of the hackle.
The joint part has a shock absorber made of an elastomer rubber with a grip. Stretches flexibly without losing the feel of a subtle fingertip while wrapping the hackle.
The inside of the grip has a removable brass shaved stabilizer. Leave your hand from hackle pliers after winding up the hackle to prevent the hackle from coming loose
