Split Ring Pliers

[Fatman]

I had posted a few months ago about opinions on split ring pliers. I checked with several manufacturers and finally settled on the Texas Tackles. They're lite weight, padded handles and I had my nephew bring his tackle box over so I could try them.

They have a a nice flat tip which doesn't spring the rings out and they work good.

At the time the cheapest I found them was $16.99

looks like a good tool - not a bad price

Once I can get back to tackle making and get some poneys made up and painted then I'll find out just how fast they're supposed to work. The two splits I tried came off and went right back on nicely.

Go with Xuron they are the best i ever used and if you shop around you can find them pretty low cost as well, but you have too look

Here is a link to the ones I am talking about they work great

Xuron Snap Ring Pliers

This might even be the lowest cost place as well, but dont get them on eBay they are cheaper else where, eBay runs 3-4 dollars more than other places

I had a pair of pliers one time (forget the brand) broke on the first ring I tried to open.
