Oh, pliers
Hello,
Yes, for really tight work, a pair of "soft-jawed" duckbills, like leather workers use, can be handy, particularly when the bights of loosel line that you are pulling through are too big for easy prying with a spike. Having a duckbill shaped filed on the end of the spike is also very good, as it makes a "shelf" for the line to hang on as you bring it up. What is it with ducks?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
