"As stated in other reviews, forget trying to cut your line with these pliers. If you intend to use them as a hook remover they are just fine and weigh very little. These are also very costly and would expect to be able cut line with it. For an XPS brand this is a disapointing purchase."

"The jaws do not have a spring to open themselves. its a real hassle to have to keep a finger on the inside of the handles to keep tension outwards on the jaws. Someone else mentioned the browning pliers. They are a much better pair. I gave these to the kids to play with."

"These pliers are very pleasing to the eye. They fit nicely in the hand and work great for de-hooking. However, they do NOT cut wire, mono, or fluorocarbon. They don't even cut 60 pound mono leader. If you use your pliers exclusively for removing hooks/lures, they are a good buy. But, if you go through leaders like I do, and you use pliers for rigging, get a different pair ( or a pair of scissors)."
