I think a lot of these pliers that are modeled after the VS are inherently going to feel flimsy made out of aluminum. I just don't think there is enough aluminum around the pivot point on some of these pliers. If they were Ti it would be different. I'm just guessing that is why, as both the Orvis and of course the VS have a different feel then many of the aluminum alternatives, as in In The Surf noticed.

The pivot bushing on some of them looks smaller the the bushing in the older and more fly fishing oriented Abel pliers...
