Mylures Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hi there, I got my split ring pliers from Jann's NetCraft and am very happy with it. I think it was their premium pliers and was like $17.95 but I have used it alot with no complaints. I have a cheap one that I tried also and it doesn't work so I just don't use it. Hope this helps and good luck. Ken Schmitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I use a pair of homemade pair made from a cheap China longnose plier costing me US1.20. I grind off 5mm of one tip, file a small V-groove on the other tip & hammer it to a 90? bend. Grind the bend end to a taper & it's done. Works like a charm.

badfish03 Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Got a pair just like the saltwater pair only cost me 5.00, need to see if I can find the finer tipped pair. I found out I have one of the major distributors of pliers for the region in town with me. Who would have thunk it. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
