Bream Master Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 If I had a scanner, I'd post a picture but I don't. I got it at Gander Mtn. for 3.99. It is a solid silver color and etched on the handle is WORTH, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, USA. No offense to you guys from Wisc. ;D When I got it, I changed out about 10 rings with no problems and after that, it just got harder and harder to do. Strange, I know, because you normally get better with repetition. It became as hard using the plier as it was using my fingers. I examined the tool and the teeth that is suppose to grip onto the ring, was rounded off on both sides already. I then looked down on my table and saw specs of "silverish" dust everywhere. I don't know if any of you guys have this tool too and experienced the same thing. Save your 4 bucks and go to Wendy's. Quote
Tucson Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I've got a similar pair, pretty much worthless so I end up using a real small pocket screwdriver to get started then work in on somehow. Not the best method but I lost faith in split ring pliers. Maybe if I got a pair of good ones..... Quote
skillet Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Both of the ones from(regular and super heavy duty, yeah right) Bass Pro don't even come with ridges . I was looking for a pair myself... As Ever, Skillet Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I got a pair of the Rapala SRP's for $15.00 bucks. They are worth it IMO. Very tough and durable. I have used them for alot more than split rings and removing fish hooks, and they are holding up great. Quote
lovecranking Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I'm also a Rapala fan. The best split ring pliers I've ever bought are the long nose Rapala. Buy a pair, you won't be disappointed. Quote
Supermat Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I use the P-Line Split ring pliers for split rings, cutting line, removing hooks, etc... and they're still working great after a hard season's use. Honestly, it doesn't matter what you get as long as you spend a little more and invest in a QUALITY pair. Quote
bocabasser Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 ya get what ya pay for. if you spent 4 bucks, what did you expect? Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 thanks alot guys, I just dropped 20 bucks on a real good pair of split ring pliers. then the monkey got me for a total of 100 bucks for other stuff. Atleast it will save my finger nails, hook to fingers, and aggravation. Quote
