Quick take

Compact multi-function pliers with tungsten carbide cutters and a flying retractor, sized to fit in a shirt pocket without weight.

This pocket-sized aluminum pliers weighs about an ounce and handles line cutting, crimping sleeves and leads, opening split rings and backing out hooks. Its tungsten carbide cutters are meant for mono, braid and fluorocarbon, and a nylon zinger retractor lets it hang from a vest, belt or tackle bag. Fly anglers and anyone who wants a light tool within reach while tying knots or changing lures will find it a handy fit.
