Hackle Covers - The perfect addition to your Riley Wood and Fiber Art Hackle.
This is for a 3.5”, 6”, 12”, or 18” Double Row Standard Hackle Cover.
This does not include the Hackle.
These Hackle Covers Will protect your hackles’ tines’ from being damaged, damaging you, and can help ensure accidents do not happen when left unattended, when traveling, and especially from curious children.
If you think you'll want one of these protective covers, I advise you to purchase it at the same time you buy your hackle. That way I can ensure it will fit and be the correct size/length for your hackle. The reason for this is because I have modified and made subsequent models better. If you are buying these together with a hackle, I may have a listing for that specifically and you will save a few dollars.
A precision recess or hole, that perfectly matches the hackles’ tines’ configuration. The recess even matches the tines’ tapering on each side. They will effortlessly slide over the tines with no play between the wood and tines. Will fully cover the first inch of those tines, providing great support, while ensuring confidence that they are fully protecting the tines, more importantly you, and others.
You can even attach the covers in a hurry with fiber on if necessary. You can also have the cover on while diz’ing or blending/combing. A great feature if you have curious cats, a dog that likes to go paws up on the table, or and especially children.
Using the pins as a fast and easy way of ensuring complete confidence that your hackle is safe from absolutely any occurrence possible will only work if you are using C-Clamps, which I would suggest as the best possible means to attach your Hackle.
Using 275 paracord and mild steel for the pins. I cut 1” pieces of ¼” diameter mild steel round bar. Chamfered both ends. Then I Counterbored one side of the pin, (which is essentially drilling a slightly bigger hole, then the through hole). The through hole is slightly bigger than the paracord. I then melted one end of the paracord and pulled it into the counterbore for a non-adjustable way of permanently attaching. For the other side I’ve essentially done the same thing. The Hackle Covers are not adjustable because they will never need adjusting. Paracord will not stretch and the unseen melted end inserted in the pins will not slip or slide out. The pin is approximately .002” smaller and should never come out until you literally pull it out. This is a super precise/precision hole that makes these covers, and the way you attach them is much better than other makers' covers.
Giving these Hackle Covers a super clean look with the most absolute and unequivocal amount of safety anywhere else on the market.
The Hackle Covers are super easy to put on your hackle. Simply find one end of the tines with the cover, carefully capture all tines, and slide down. Insert retaining pin, eliminate any slack between that pin and the other and simply insert the other pin. It requires No need for adjusting ever. It will always fit and render your Riley Wood and Fiber Art Hackles safe and secure, from you, pets and most importantly children.
