I do a bit of fly tying and one thing I sometimes do is squeeze a
preformed piece of lead on to a hook but using the normal pliers
messes the lead because of the teeth in the jaws of the pliers .Unless
someone knows otherwise I'm guessing you can't get pliers with smooth
jaws .It would be possible to file or grind down the jaws but I also
thought of glueing small pieces of metal or wood in to the jaws to
make them smooth .
Anyone any idea/suggestions?
