Seems like a good choice to me. If they hold up well then great. If they don't I imagine that Cabela's will take them back and give you credit or possibly even a refund. They're good like that.

I wear my pliers on my belt so they are either submerged or getting splashed constantly on every trip. I got a $20 pair of Dr. Slick stainless pliers last year and now I can barely open the damn things, I never sprayed them with anything and the cutters rusted out after a few weeks. I also had those rapala pliers and those rusted out on me too. Maybe I just need to rinse and spray them down after every trip? I just don't want to have to deal with taking care of pliers just one more thing ya know?

I've used that same POS pair for 2 years. A little 3-1 oil each week and they still work fine. That and a pair of nail clippers is all you need. |

My thinking exactly! OSJL has lotsa stuff you can use. Like 6$ airbrushes too. |
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

too much $ IMO. I have a 20 dollar pair of Rapala pliers that have lasted this season & still look pretty decent with no rust. They have a nice tip that opens a split ring really easily. & have a good length on the jaws for reaching inside bluefish mouths. I lost my other pair of them early on. It would have been sad if I had $120 invested in them.
Could have a new pair each year for 6 years.
I coated them with T9. & they have held up great.

Need to pick up a new pair and I wont be spending 100$ for them. I buy good quality equipment but just cannot justify spending 120$ for a pair of pliers when a good stainless pair for 20$ will work the same. It is critical that the new pair be stainless because if they are not they will rust.

I bought a pair of those cheap nickel coated pliers from job lot.. $5.. and put them in my Krok sheath which I sprayed wd-40 in. I soaked it really good.. I have had theses pliers for 3 years and do not wash down or take care of them,, They are always on my belt and they have held up well,,, I only spray them with wd-40 every couple weeks and when I do, I spray the sheath really good.. Basically soak it.... when they wear out I will get another pair for $5.
Last year they had no problem cutting a hook in my hand so the cutting edge has held up ok too....
My big worry about having a good pair is losing them,,,, but $120 is more reasonable then some of the other Titanium ones I have seen...
