Compared to the no-name pliers that come bundled with the split ring kits this is clearly the winner. It all comes down to the solid feel of the action and how the teeth on the tip line up.

Work for what they are but small in size

good for lots of things

Although designed for fish hook rings I use it for sailboat rigging

Best pair of split ring pliers I’ve used, so far. Lightweight and fold up nicely. Use regularly on #2 split rings
