FYI-If you have not owned a pair of VS pliers you don't have a clue about them! Over the 13+ seasons I have had mine they have been on every outing with me in wetsuit, surf, kayak.....whatever! They are still like brand new! You keep buying your $35 pliers and getting new ones every season or twice a season! This pair of pliers has already paid for themselves and will last me the rest of my life! I also have a small pair for freshwater! 2 of the best investments I have ever made for a tool that is as necessary as a fishing rod......might as well have the best and.....they are!

Did you miss the part of my post where I mentioned that my $20 Sargents are 30 years old? Actually, I think 32 now.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
