Anybody handled these new Sargent pliers. Cabela's has then for about 50 bucks. Basspro has some chinese knockoff for about 1/2 that.

Right now I use the $12 rapala ss pliers and think they are great (rip out the plastic spring clip). Rapala also makes $22 version with carbide cutters.

The sargents are'nt made in china?
I have had fair luck with similar pliers, they work fine as long as you don't try to use them to cut vmcs for all your plugs.
I carry a pair of calcuttas currently and have not had to use them for that
I have a pair or two of cheap needlenose with no lanyard also, I will even let other people use them.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
