These split ring pliers have prevented countless punctures to my fingers. They are small and light weight, easily fitting in a pocket tacklebox or bag. The box joint is perfect for resisting the twisting motion needed to open large split rings. I have tried them on the smallest freshwater rings as well as those on large saltwater jigs and plugs. It perfoms equally well for any size ring. The handles are spring-loaded and are comfortable. I even like the color, which makes them easy to spot in my often cluttered mass of gear. I change the hooks on almost every lure I buy, so this little tool has really made that task easier and safer.

There are several things I like about this item: 1) The spring in the grip/handle is very useful but it is one of those things that people take for granted after a while. 2) The grips are a good size for me and are non-slip. They feel very natural in the hand. 3) That little wedge in the tip of the jaws is tapered so it will open the split ring wider than other pliers that I have. This makes it a little easier to use.

These pliers are "patented". On what, I don't know. They don't seem all that different that other that I have. They are just easier and more comfortable for me. Like all the other split ring pliers, they are made in Pakistan. Don't let the title "Texas" fool you. You will need to pay for the shipping & handling.
