    Best split ring tool?

    I thought I would bounce this question off the guys who would use them most. What is the best split ring tool for heavy ( 90 - 200# ) rings.
    I have a fairly good pair but it is still a pita.
    Thanks,

    I have an expensive pair, like the Accurates, but believe it or not, a pair I got at Walmart that work find for smaller split rings.

    I've got the braid ones as well...probably not the best out there, but they do consistently open hyper wire #11s with ease, have a good cutter and retail at around $35....all good things in my mind.

    I use the Braid's as well. I have no problem with the 200lb & 300lb split rings.

    Texas Tackle makes great split ring pliers and they are way cheaper.

    Hows it going Matt. I use an el cheapo pair for the flimsey split rings and a pair of Braids for the heavier split rings.

    I use the Braid pliers here in the shop, quality construction and did not break the bank, and work very well. I'm told they are similar to the Shimano pliers at a less price
