Hi Gonz, Yep, and with a lot more functionality too. When you post, the second line of buttons above, 4th from the left is insert image. Push it and where it says URL[/img ] paste in the link to the pic to replace URL. Cheers,

Hi Andy, So far so good. I'm using the whole set (and to be honest, I have no idea what some of these things are for ) The hacle pliers are good and It's the first time I#ve used rotary ones. Good for folks with big fingers who cant use the spring type. really good for parachutes. And the dubbed fly is still working a treat Cheers, Carl

I'll second the comment on the rotary pliers, been using them (not from Rufus, just the cheap metal ones) for over a year . I also find that they are great for parachutes. I consider the spring to be a shock absorber and find these pliers excellent for tiny and delicate rooster hackles and an absolute delight when working with soft hackles like starling and partridge. By the way, did I mention the quality of Cookshill dyed partridge skins? Probably, If not please note they are excellent IMHO

Roy, Good to see ya here..
I recently got an english cock partridge skin form cookshill and it is absolutly fantastic quality. A very soft, supple and well prepared skin.
By far a better quality than a few others I have seen.
Cheers Hove.
PS...Ill have to get me some rotational hackle pliars just for the crack. Sound good.
