QT, it sure does. Most common sizes are .018, .021, .025, and .026. You can see them at one of the websites for Brownell or BCY. It doesn't really matter which you use for a tied in nock. What they are for is to get the right nock fit for your center serving which can vary due to string amterial and/or which string material your string is made of.

A generic term for them is braided fastflight.

OOOPS, you're right forgot about mono, won't tie so well

i use my nocking pliers to pry them apart. it isn't easy to describe how I do it, but it works. I prefer a string loop now though.

This is THE tool to get.
It will crimp both sizes of brass nock-sets, and remove them too.
The lever on the side is for removal.

Bulzeye, yeh, these pliers work very well. And do you see that little lever sticking out to the side? There is a little tit sticking out in the middle that you place in the split of the nockset, cam over the little lever, and it's splits the brass nockset open for you. You'd have to see it to see what I'm saying but I use them at the shop all the time.
Of course, if you quit using brass nocksets then you don't need the pliers, unless you are working on other bows.

I know others have posted, here is just another way to remember:


With the ends in both hands....

Right over the left and under.....left over the right and under....pull

The same string does all of the looping.
