Van Staal Pliers
 
Van Staal Pliers

I am in the market to buy a pair and I have a question

other than 50 bucks and 1 inch, what is the difference
between the 6 and 7 inch?

is the 7 inch worth the extra money?

Buy the 7 inch....more versatile. You might find the 6's a tad small!

big jay 05-18-2008 07:37 PM

7" has a little more leverage if you need to cut a hook.

i own the 6inch and wished i had bought the 7....but i do like that the 6inch is real small and fits in my hand almost perfectly.

another vote for the 7".

another for 7"

more comfortable in the hand, better leverage

Is there any advantage to buying an expensive aluminum pair or a titanium pair?

Definitely go with the 7"

Im not in the market for pliers but I gotta ask how much are the Van Staal's?

WOW!!

get the 7's. my wife bought me the 6's as a gift and I exchanged them. the 6's fit weird in my hand and the cutter always ended up right at the webbing between my thumb and index finger, felt dangerous.

what the hell, get both.

One for each side when someone snaps a pic :hidin:

vanstaal 05-19-2008 02:15 PM

7" but I wouldn't try to cut a hook I did that and one of the cutters broke off thats 30.00
