360 grams feels heavier in hand than you'd expect form CNC alumnum — but that extra mass actually helps when you're cranking down on a 200lb test line, and the tungsten carbide cutters shear through braid like butter, no re-sharpening needed for a season or two.
We don't bother with a soft case for these, because they'll ride in a rod holder or a deck box mostly, and the jaw-locking system keeps them closed so you're not stabbing yourself reaching for a split ring opener or a crimp — it's a simple twist lock that's actually useful between casts.
The twin cut sawtooth jaws aren't just for show either — they hold swivels and hooks better than polished smooth jaws, especially when your hands are wet and slippery, but they're overkill if you're only handling panfish with 10lb test and will just mangle light wire hooks.
MOQ is usually 12 pairs, but our company can do smaller lots if you're testing the waters — lead time is roughly 20 working days, give or take a few depending on handle color availability, and we've got around 150 pairs in stock right now in black and red, with green and orange on a longer cycle.
(If you're ordering from the Pacific Northwest or the Gulf Coast, we'd suggest the anodized finish — raw aluminum doesn't love constant salt spray, and the anodizing on these is better than most pliers we've had through the warhouse.)
Anyway, you get teh COA with each batch if you need it for inventory or compliance purposes, but the is that these handle better than comparable titanium pliers at half the cost, and the split ring opener is machined into the handle tip, not a flimsy add-on that'll snap.
MOQ is 100 pieces per color option. If you need a mix of handle colors, we can do that within the 100 total.
Yes, we can provide a hardness test report and a cutting performance certificate for the tungsten carbide inserts upon request.
Absolutely — the locking system is a toggle. Just flip it off when you don't need it, and the pliers work like normal spring-loaded ones.
Lead time is around 25–30 days after order confirmation and deposit. Rush orders can be done in 15 days with a small surcharge.
They come fully assembled and ready to use, individually wrapped in a protective sleeve with a split ring opener included.
