Nice Adrian!
That’s great service.Those split ring pliers definitely come in handy :thumbsup:
they cannot open micro split rings like those used on trout lures.
i have those same pliers, they are good though and can open bigger split rings, not the smaller ones.

I just used them an hour ago P5 changing a few trebles on the Rapala lures & a GagaGoon lure and they were okay, these are the micro pliers, they worked better than the small tweezer ones I have.. The split rings on the lures I use probably are as small as I have any way so they'll do okay.. just hope I don't have to change too many trebles as it's a pain in the butt job, I often finish up with a treble hook stuck in a finger and have to rip it out with the pliers as well... :-D
cheers

They may have change them too P5, I bought the large set (RHS) sometime ago not realizing how large the were..

Have never used them at all as they're just way to big for the lures I use.. even the small tweezer type are too large for the split rings on the GagaGoon & Greedy Guts lures as well as my small Daiwa lures... I used to use a fine blade pocket knife once to open the small split rings which worked well.. trouble is I have large hands and it makes it quite awkward when fussing around with small trebles & split rings etc.. :-D :-D
