Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality
"I finally got tired of buying the cheap fishing pliers and went ahead and made a purchase of something that would last so I bought a pair of these. Had them maybe 2 years now and the cutter still works like when I 1st used it. Pliers are great. Even though I took care of them, they still started to show rust on them. Still work great though!"

"Up until today, I swore by these pliers. They work great cutting braid, they have crimpers for leader sleeves and fit good in my hand. Well, I noticed that they were getting alittle loose so I decieded to try and tighten them up. First mistake! Well, once I got the aluminum caps off the sides I was able to unscrew the bolt that holds them together. I figured I would clean them up and apply new grease to them (normal maintenance,right??). Well, after I cleaned them up and regreased them, I went to put them back together and screwed the the bolt together. It never got tight, great I thought, I stripped them! After pulling them back apart I looked at the female part of the bolt set, there are NO threads inside of it. It seems that when it was put together, they apply some glue of some sort and press the two sides together! I never could get it tight and the glue pulled out with the male part of the bolt set! I really like these pliers, however, I am on the fence due to the fact of the poor quality!"

Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
Disadvantages: hoslter not made well for left handers
"I have had these pliers for about a year now. I have had no problems with them from rusting, getting stiff or lost of finish. I am left handed,so only thing i would like to see change . Is on top where the cord attaches to holster, is to make another hole were the cord can be towards the back so it's out of the way. Other than that , they grip well do not slip. And well constructed."

"I should have paid closer attention to some of the other reviews. The presion on the nose of the pliers is not very good. There is a large gap and the pliers don't close all the way. This make them ineffective for straigtning rolled hook points, holding split rings and bending barbs.
Also the nose /point of the pliers are square and not very precise. I don't know how they get away with $40.00 for pliers that are not so precise.
I have seen $ 8.00 craftsman pliers that line up and close perfectly.
The line cutter does work very well on 15 lb Braid with little effort.
I do not recommend these pliers. Sorry, but I was honestly disappointed."
