They look interesting...After you get them let us know what you think.

I have donmars too and I don't carry them on my surf belt anymore...I keep them on the boat. They are well built, don't rust but I don't like the sissor type cutters much. But they do hold up.

I have been using several $15-25 pliers (shimano type) with those holdzit (oil cases). These work great. I don't wear one on my belt but keep them on my boat pliers and I have a couple in my garage and place my surf pliers in them from time to time. I can get thru the season no problem now. It keeps the salt off the them and soaks them in wd40 continously. It is amazing, if you forget to put them in the case for a trip or two then next time you go to use them they are stiff as hell and rusting. These cases are good esp for cheap pliers.

I would like to carry a real nice pair on my surf belt with a pair of kick ass cutters but after losing a pair once I resulted to half way decent pilers that require these holdzits.

I first saw them while fishing on a friends boat and he had a big pair of cutters that he got at the hardware store in the blue-water holdzits. If you ever had one of these heavy steel cutters on your boat you can almost watch them rust. These rubberized holdzits bath your tool in oil and keep the elements off of them.
Since then I bought a bunch of them...even got one in my stocking
