C&F hackle pliers are, hands-down, the best we've used. You pay a premium price, but you get a quality made tool that securely clamps materials in its jaws yet has a "shock absorber" to lessen the impact of any jolts while wrapping the materials which results in less material breakage.

Full Bugger Bou Pelt. This is a great option if you want a LOT of marabou. Excellent for making spey-style flies and for other flies that require long, flowing fibers.
