kickingfrog Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I've seen floating pliers at a few stores. My suspicion is that they may not work for snot, but I don't know for sure. I have not yet lost a pair over board, but there is always a first time. Experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Wouldn't take much to fashion your own with a good set of pliers Rob. A length of lanyard and a large float of some sort. Hmmmmm, I think I now have a project for a rainy day.....*looks out window* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I got a pair from CTC - the green/blue ones at 60% off. I think I paid $8, plus tax. Only bought them as they were on sale. They work, and they float - controlled testing only When you squeeze them tight, the handles squeeze in more once the teeth come together, seems a liitle weak that they flex like that. They do work though, never had any problems with them and they are easy to find, use due to the colour. They also have a wrist lanyard. They have a carbide cutting blade that works good with braid, except it flattens out the end a bit as the blade squeezes the line against a flat piece of metal to make the cut. The cut is clean, no fraying, but just flat. I would recommend them, but only at a steep discount. They aren't worth the $20 regular price.
