I got a pair of 7" Van Staal pliers a couple months ago and I can't wait to use them. They come with a lanyard and a leather sheath.....no more dropping and losing my pliers in the surf. Very expensive for pliers, $250.00, but I will probably never have to buy another pair. If you do a search here you will find a thread that I put up about them and many others here on the site offered some great advice about all different pliers and their likes and dislikes. Search under Van Staal Pliers.
