I have had the long blade snips in my boat and on my vest for over a decade. I have about a half dozen or more of them spread throughout my gear. They cut braided line very well and are quicker to use than scissors when I am trimming my Dorsey or New Zealand indicators. All the built in zingers are still working just like the day I bought them. I was lucky to pick up quite a few of them pretty cheap because they had a lighted version that didn't last very long and they put them on closeout. They are also light, which is great for your pocket or your lanyard. I will say for fly fishing you may be tempted to get the original, but believe me you will get more uses out of the long blade ones.
I picked up the long blade nippers as a replacement for some cheap scissors for like $15. I keep expecting them to wear out but i cant seem to get them to
Seem like they would work well in a tackle box, but on my person walking around in the river I still prefer the old grandfather method of nail clippers so when I trip and fall in the river. Mother told me not to run with scissors but said nothing about nail clippers. ;)
Bought those clippers a while back and they do cut like butter. Only reason they are not on my vest Is they are too big. If they could down size them without loosing quality I would jump on another pair for sure. Good company.
If you fish both conventional tackle and fly … there simply is no better tool on the market. The $200 nippers sold in some fly shops don’t cut braided line worth a damn. This thing cuts it all. They don’t last forever but replacing a $15 too every couple years is no big deal.

Thanks for watching and for backing us up here. Great products!
Have had a pair since converting from conventional to fly. 8 years old cutting braid to big mono. It’s a great tool!
We agree! Thanks for watching.
I MUST have that Flip Pallot line bag seen at 1:00. Is it on the website yet?
Not yet but stay tuned. They are still making some modifications.
I’ve know about these for years. Best cutters I’ve ever used.
Thanks for being here. Not overly well known in the fly fishing world.

We have yet to wear a pair out and we use them here in the shop every day!
You know it's gonna be awesome with Flip in the thumbnail!🇺🇸
Thanks for being here.
Man... Now I need those tools
Thanks for watching.
Bought the small nip ones a few years ago and it’s the best. Hands down
Thanks for backing us up here and for watching.
Do the scissors retrack or always exposed?
They do not retract. Always exposed. Thanks for being here.

Love these things. Even if they don’t say Abel 😂😂😂
We do too. Doesn’t have to say Abel to make Brian happy.

I’ve always used these instead of nippers

Thanks for watching. We use ours every day at the reel winder here in the shop and they have lasted well over 10 years now. Still like new!

Thanks for watching…..and for the comment.
I turned it off before you got to it, now I still don't need to know that I need to have this.😂
Thanks for trying. We appreciate it.
