Crescent PRO Series Diagonal Compound Action Pliers.They cut vmc's easy with the way they set up the leverage handles.Mine cuts all my plug hooks and recently saved a seagull.Nobody else had a strong enough plier.The fisherman thanked me for them and complimented on how easy it was to cut the multiple trebles that were lodged in the bird.I didn't see the surgery but the bird flew away.Got em at Homo Depo
