Split the difference.
I bought the browning's for 30 or 40 on Ebay, I never rinse my surf gear/belt (well it's rinsing today in the back of the truck, O.K.
No problem in 2 seasons. some MINOR rust on the cutters..
will they cut a hook? I doubt it. but the heavy ones in my tool box will!

There's a simple rule for expensive pliers. Never, EVER take them off the lanyard and you never lose them. 
Live and die by it and you'll never have issues.
I'll even tempt fate and say I've never dropped pliers overboard, and never will. |

Also, be careful with the Accurates. If my friend hasn't sent his back yet I'll take a picture.
Don't ever try and close a Siwash hook with them...

other than my boga my vs 7" pliers are the best piece of equipment that i own. period. never ever rust or fail. not a status symbol either since i lie to everyone about how much they cost!!! put a lanyard on them and they last forever.

I don't have a preference on pliers. I am still in that stage of my Striper career where I am hoping to catch a fish. I'll be happy putting any pliers in there because it would mean I have a fish. I just had to toss my 2 cents in here and say I never, ever thought pliers would make such an engaging and dynamic conversation. It is great to see the debate/discussion going three pages long... =)

The Accuerates are a decent set for the money. Gotta keep them clean and spray them with wd40 every now and then.
The new Ross pliars look nice.

... that said, has anyone here used the Donmar pliers and what are your thoughts as I don't necessarily need the Van Staal pliers, although they would be nice to have, just $50 more when said and done ...
... any body have insight on these two/three pliers?
Thanks

I'll bet Candi has the best hair color, the best boob lift bra or tummy tuck panties money can buy. And she never tells you anything about them. |
I should be catching Z's, instead spending my nights, catching fish and letting them all go!

I second the shimano pliers I'm on a 3rd season with them and no lanyard, PB Blaster every few months when they start to feel stiff. And a pair of knipex cutters stowed away in a bag...
