Quick take
A lightweight aircraft aluminum fishing plier with high tungsten carbide cutter and exclusive lock switch design.
This is a lockable pair of fishing pliers with an aluminum handle and a Teflon-coated finish meant for salt and fresh water. The ergonomic pistol-style grip has rubber strips for hold, and the lock lets you open and close the tool one-handed. It handles braided line, leader and split rings, and weighs about 155 grams, so it rides easily in a tackle box or on a belt.
