Depending on your view, these pliers may or may not fit your needs. Some people opt to go the less expensive route and go through 5 pairs or 10 pliers a year, other people would rather go the more expensive route and get something that will hold up.
Personally I have not found a pair of in expensive pliers that last. JobLot versions rust FAST and the cutters couldnt cut a stick of butter never mind 65lb braid. Dr. Slicks are good for about a weeks worth of fishing, then you can throw them out because they turn into a pair of kindergarten scissors, Manley needle nose pliers are better than Dr. Slicks, but the cutter part does not last long and trying to sharpen the cutter only makes things worse. Never tried the Shimano's but I think they would be in the same ballpark.
With tools, you get what you pay for.
