I second that.
I picked up a pair with the expectation that I would probably have to return them. There still functional for their intended purpose.

Now your question, How do you change the split rings?
The tip of the pliers are squeezed into the split ring grooves (perpendicular) nearest the opening. Then insert the hook eye onto the split ring, now work your way up the groove with the pliers anlog with the hook following closely behind.
