At sample pricing we're looking at about $3.50 each, mid-tier around $2.80, and bulk orders of 500 units or so drop to roughly $2.20—that's all FOB, and the cost-effectiveness is pretty much teh main reason most buyers go with this model over pricier alternatives.
What it does is combine a black electroplated stainlss steel head with an aluminum handle, giving you corrosion resisance where it counts without adding weight—the whole thing is just 140 grams, which is noticeably lighter than all-steel pliers of the same size, and that half-box joint structure actually helps keep the jaws aligned better than a simple screw pivot after repeated use.
crooked shaft style isn't just for looks; it gives you better when you're pulling hooks out of a stubborn fish's mouth, and the 2.48-inch head provided plenty of grip for most freshwater and light saltwater work, though honestly it's not suited for heavy-duty offshore tuna or anything over 30 pounds or so because the thinner aluminum handle can flex under extreme presure.
Also, the line cutter on these handles braided line up to about 80-pound test without fraying—something you'd have to test yourself to confirm, but we've had a few customers mention it works well for fluorocarbon too—and the loop opener is a nice touch for quick terminal tackle changes, though it's not as refined as dedicated split ring pliers.
You'll get a color box package for retail display, but if you're ordering in bulk our company can usually switch to plain poly bags to save on shiping weight, and lead time is typically 20 days or so for mid quantities—just confirm stock before placing a large order because that black electroplating finish can sometimes take a few extra days if they're between.
Our standard MOQ is 500 pieces per model. If you need a smaller trial order, we can discuss options based on stock availability.
Yes, we can supply a material certificate upon request, confirming the stainless steel is grade 420 or 430 and the aluminum is 6061 alloy. Just ask your sales rep when ordering.
For a standard 500-piece order, lead time is about 20-25 working days after deposit. Custom packaging might add a few extra days.
Yes, the black electroplating adds a protective layer that resists rust and corrosion, ideal for saltwater use. Just rinse them with fresh water after fishing to keep them in top shape.
Absolutely, we can print your logo and design on the color box. We just need a minimum of 1000 pieces for custom packaging, and we'll handle the artwork setup.
