I bought a cheap pair of pakistani ss pliers while on vaca for 10.00 and the next day saw some of the Shimano Titaniums with the rubber grip for 17.00 as I was not happy at all with the cutters on the pakistini cutters. I almost put the Shimano's back thinking I could get by a couple days with the cheapo ss model. I am very happy I bought the Shimano's after all. The cutters have worked well for my needs but I admit not cutting braid with them that often and never hook wire. They did require a couple drops of 3 in 1 on the hinge but have worked well since. I like them better than the Manley's that cost me more.
