 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 |

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.

I got home made ones of every type I can imagine.Thought I was happy until I got these.I always had a problem installing split rings on ball bearing swivels until I got these.
Sorry for late reply,had some time to dig around in the forums

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.
