Hey Josh….. too kind. Thank you for supporting me, encouragement is always welcome. Should be live there on Monday 21st, they are doing a big giveaway on FB and Insta, keep eye out for that also.
Hey Shane, thank you for the support. I have got a sizing chart on my website, although these will be shown by vendors also. Tightlines. Tool chest…. Love that.
So...as an enthusiastic SPJ angler I have bought and used literally every single split ring plier you can buy anywhere in the world. They are not all created equal. But this is among the best. I tried this tool at Capt. Ricky 'Pickle' Frank's recommendation. You have a tremendous amount of control on a very wide range of split ring sizes. This tool is especially useful for difficult split rings like the Owners that are very strong but will bend out fairly easily if you open them too far. Size S is perfect for SPJ. Highly recommended tool!
Hey Falconer Custom Rods. I really appreciate you taking the time to review my Split Ring Pliers. Control is definitely the secret sauce, fine adjustment and being able to control the amount of gape you need for specific hooks.#, whilst in the same breath understanding the limitations on how much these split rings of various brands can open before they distort beyond the memory of the Steel/Stainless they were made from in the 1st place. Tightlines and hope you get many good years use from your tools.
They are a good bunch at CharkBait, Their reviews are very informative. Thank you so much for supporting Toit fishing. Both with your comments and investing in our designs. Hope you enjoy using them. Tightlines.
Your enthusiasm in your product is second to none. I would invest in them, I can't find out the price on the website but they look expensive and I've a feeling that my pension wouldn't allow me, so not to risk disappointment I haven't made the purchase. They look the Duck's Nuts that's for sure so I'll have to drop hints to my family 🤣😂🤣🤣😃😂😃🤣🤣😂😂 Take care my friend 👍😷👍
Evening Andrew, thank you for reaching out. They are available at various fishing shops around the world. Maybe search on Google for "Toit Split Ring Pliers". Your words are very kind and thank you for the comments, it really made me smile. They retail in USA for $35 a pair. Tightlines and let me know how you get on. Take Care
Hi Gaijin, thanks for reaching out. The pliers are made from a 400 series Stainless Steel, spec 410J1 to be exact. Pliers have to be made from a higher carbon content Stainless Steel and a Stainless that can be hardened and tempered. This is to ensure the pliers do not deform or flatten in your hand when you apply pressure and the working surfaces(cones in this case) are hardened to prevent bending and wear and tear especially opening split rings. 300 Series Stainless steels like those used in common kitchen utensils are typically 304 stainless. This Stainless Steel cannot be hardened due to the high concentrations of Chromium and Nickel, thus it stays in the austenite phase, meaning it will remain soft and the material will always bend, bit like your teaspoon at home. These high chromium/nickel stainless steels are great for corrosion but unfortunately will never have the back bone for any pliers type tools. So this is the dilemma for fisherman the most important feature is that the pliers does what it sais it will do, in this example open split rings and not bend or deform when used but sea fisherman like stuff that doesn't rust(iron oxide), as washing and taking care of hand tools are often never even considered on fishing trips, I include myself in that :). So yes these tools will rust very slightly if they are neglected and left on a boat for long periods without being looked after. Our tools have roughly a 12% Chromium content to aid with rust corrosion, they also have highly polished surfaces and have been passivated to remove all the free irons from the surface of the metal and they have a blue PVD coating on which helps also, and for $30 its a really great product. If you are wanting to spend around $150, I would look for tools stating specifically 17-4 Stainless Steel this is probably the best in my opinion for Stainless Steel on pliers type tool, with 17% Chromium and can be hardened also. Otherwise your best bet would be a Titanium Pliers but make sure you are buying a Grade 5 Titanium, Many Titanium alloys can suffer from pitting in a marine environment a good pair of Grade 5 Titanium Pliers should set you back $380. Apologies for the long response but I am sure many anglers will ask me the same question, and hopefully this will help others also. Tightlines and if you do decide to support Toit Fishing and buy a Split Ring Pliers, Thank you.
@@toitfishing Thanks for the excellent explanation! I ordered the small and medium pliers and will just make sure to give them a good rinse and spray them with a light oil coating to keep them fresh. Being in Japan, I'm well aware of high carbon steel since all my knives are super hard and high quality but a drop of salt water will have them rusting by the time I get back to the house. I long for the day when we have quality steel that doesn't rust but that's kind of an oxymoron. Thanks again. Can't wait to try these out on my next fishing trip!
@@gaijinfishing you are welcome, oxymoron indeed. My ambassador Ricky Frank, is a charter boat captain who runs out of Palm Beach inlet South Florida. He does a lot of my hands on testing. One of his favourite tools is the side cutters which he actually use on braid. Although they are not designed for braid the pair he has, has been “on the boat” for well over a year now with no maintenance at all, it’s still cuts all his braid, wire and mono which is incredible considering how many clients they take out daily. Exceptional really if you think about it. Although I never designed or intended them to cut braid they have not let him down yet. But more importantly from your original question, they still work as they did from day dot and they have minor corrosion on and he assured me they never been cleaned or oiled once. I do keep reminding him Tho.:) PS if you do get a pair of cutters that are 100% perfectly ground and able to cut braid, you may have a perfect cutters for a long long time. Although I would always recommend a shearing type tool for braid. Our side cutters is designed predominantly for stainless wire. Thanks again for supporting the brand, we have a good sizing chart on our website if required. PS yes I also dread sharpening my 300 series stainless steel knives every 2 minutes cause the edge went again.🤣😂
Best response I’ve ever heard. Nothing is rust proof in my opinion. Take care of your hardware and it will take care of you as I like to say. Can’t wait to receive my product.
@@freedomfishery6967 Thank you for your very kind words, truly one of the nicest response I ever had. Tightlines and hope you enjoy using them. I really appreciate the support and you investing in our product.
Hi Mr Rutten thank for the great question, I am currently developing a micro tool for these size split rings. The small will open it but the tool will not work properly on some split rings size 2 as the wire diameter is too small, others it will be fine. Tightlines.
Hi Antonine, the current range of Tools only goes down to #3 & #4, we are developing a new breed of Split Ring Pliers that will be available March 2023. These will open a #1 AFW Micro Mini. Please keep an eye on our socail media for launch. Thanks for reaching out. Tightlines
@@miketavares6907 Hi Mike, thx for reaching out. You will be fine with a small split Ring pliers. Hope that helps. This is a cross over size, so if you are opening larger I would use a Medium.
Hi Pathuri, thanks for reaching out. All my current retailers and vendors ship to India. There is a stockist page on my website, or there are links below where these can be purchased.
Buy once, cry once. If you use heavy duty split rings and change them often for things like jigging for bluefin & yellowfin tuna, you gladly pay for quality tools like this twice over
Another fire drip from Toit Fishing. I look forward to getting a pair of these from Tackle Direct.

Super j'aimerais bien l'avoir 😢
How are the pliers themselves at not rusting? I want a no-nonsense set that I can leave on the boat and not have them seize up.

Sir can you courier the pliers to india?

40 bucks tho?
no one wants to pay 40 bucks for split ring pliers ... I know I don't

90$ in Australia but they worth every cent
