That puts me at about 87 years before the VS are worth it - and lose a $3 pair of pliers, go to the truck and grab another; lost the VS pliers, cry myself to sleep that night. Not to mention I keep a pair in my surf bag, the boat bag, canal bag, my truck and 2 pairs at home.
Way more things I need to spend money on than $250 pliers or a $250 Boga.

Ditto. I have been buying the Job Lot $3.00 needle nose pliers for years. They will last forever if you spray them once in a while with WD-40. I also have a pair of Manley pliers that I do not fish without. I put a treble thru my index finger one night with a 15# bass on the other hook. If it were not for my Manley pliers and their ability to cut a 4/0 hook you would be calling me "stubby".
