I've used the Mustad braid / split ring pliers for a while and they're good, holding up well without any real rust or degradation after a couple years and I don't treat 'em that nice. The small size is really good relative to their utility. One thing negative is that the clip that holds them closed is only held in by a pin, and will come off at some point.purple5ive wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 10:28 amI havent used either of them, but look decent to me

I regret my choice of pliers, a big Rapala 8" heavy-duty split ring monstrosity. Handles are too big, doesn't fit in the end pocket of my bag. It's a bull in a China shop and doubles up on most stuff that the Mustad does as well. I should have bought something like these instead (same as what ducky posted basically): https://www.motackle.com.au/fishing/too ... rceps.html
