parallel jaw pliers

I've killed my third pair of imitations, the first two were nonames, the last shimano. I think in one case the cutting jaw snapped off, the other two snapped at the bolt that makes the cutting jaw move.
The Saltwater Edge has a video on their site that shows them having a race cutting VMC hooks and using Manleys, that is what killed all my imitations.
Here's the 25$ question.
Will Manleys hold up better?
The Shimanos did last for two years, I think.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
