[dropcap]I[/dropcap] have been really digging these Surgex Pliers from the good folks at 3-TAND this fishing season. I love their light weight very much, as it takes not much to get my pants to fall from my hips. I barely know they are there. When I need to release a fish or nip the tag ends on my blood knots or wire bluefish tippets, they perform perfectly. But, my favorite aspect to S-6+ is the split ring tool built into one of the 2 sets of interchangeable jaws/tips. The rubberized handle feels great in the hand and so far they have shown no signs of degradation or wear (other than some minor chafing on the sheath). At a retail price of $79.95, these pliers offer a ton of value and quality craftsmanship. They feel good in the hand and perform flawlessly. Customer service is the name of the game at 3-TAND , so any questions or issues are handled promptly and professionally. If you are in the market for a reasonably priced, lightweight, multi-purpose set of pliers, do yourself a favor and check out 3-TAND’s offering.
