Cutting VMC Trebles

[Zeno]

8" nippers or Manley pliers are just fine.The hooks will rust faster than when used with split rings but i haven't heard any weakness or opening.

I use a small Sandvik hacksaw with a thin blade. It is like a hobby saw, but better. Goes through like butter, even when cutting VMCs. Works well on smaller hooks. To avoid corrosion I place a drop of clear nail polish in the gap after I squeeze it shut.
