I read alot of what has been said about pleirs not just in this thread. I personely don't think pleirs are worth what they're asking for, I don't care what there made of.
Two years ago I had a hook removed from my finger in the ER, they used three different bolt cutters and stuggled. Would a VS or Donmar have cut it? I'm not so sure.
I see no need to cut hooks out there. I bought shimano pleirs for under $20 at Mike's last year. Even though I religiously resined and lubed them, it didn't take long before the cutters went. The shimano have a good point on open split rings and strong enough to remove hooks in lips n gill plates.
I know you get what you pay for, but for that kind $$$ I can use it better else where.
