I love my $1.00 Ocean State Joblot specials!

Seriously, there is a neat little trick in keeping ordinary pliers longer-lasting.

Take a sponge or old toothbrush and regularly scrub them with an abrasive cleaner like Ajax or Comet.

Then, treat them with WD-40.

Note that there are some marine plier suppliers that sell plier sheaths immersed in WD-40 so that the pliers don't rust as quickly.

As far as Accurate goes, CALL THEM UP! Their service is nothing but top-notch and they make great reels (and gaffs). Let them know what your issue is and I'm sure they will take care of you.
