I've seen guys out on the flats who swear by these for bonefish, where you need something that won't rust after one dunk in saltwater, and it's basically the go-to for that crowd because carbide cutters handle braided line cleanly.
It's machined form aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, which keeps the weight at 78 grams or so, and the jaws are stainless steel with a spring-loaded mechanism that's pretty snappy—teh skeletonized handles also help with grip when your hands are wet, and you get a belt clip thrown in.
The hook remover works well for treble hooks on lures, but I wouldn't use it for heavy-duty wire like you'd see on terminal tackle for tuna—it's better suited for light line and crimping lead sleeves, and the carbide blades do wear faster if you're braid constantly, which is just a fact.
We usually have stock on these, but the lead time is about 2-3 weeks for orders over 50 units, and you'll get a COA with each batch if you ask for it.
Anyway, just shoot me the quantity you're looking at, and I'll get you a quote with shiping included.
No, the carbide blades are fixed and not designed to be user-replaced. However, they're built to last through heavy saltwater and freshwater use — we've tested them for thousands of cuts without dulling.
Our standard MOQ is 200 units for first-time orders, but we can negotiate lower quantities for sample or trial runs. Just reach out to our sales team.
Yes, we can supply a material certification for the aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel jaws upon request. We also have a salt spray test report available if your buyer requires it.
For stock orders, lead time is about 15-20 days. Custom packaging or branding might add another 7-10 days. We'll confirm exact timing after you place the order.
Yes, the belt clip is detachable — just unscrew it with a small Phillips head. The pliers work fine without it, and the skeletonized handle stays balanced either way.
