Split Ring Tools?
What brand split ring plier/tool are you guys using for the heavy split rings? I have a lighter split ring tool, and it doesnt cut it on the heavy duty spro rings.

Jesse,
I don't know that brand matters that much, but look for ones with a big tooth on them. That way you can open the split ring wide enough to get a solid ring or hook into it without too much effort. |

If you only deal with split rings occasionally the Shimano Brutas pliers are good.
 If you use them alot, the best pliers in my opinion, are the Shimano Baysteel multi-tools. I've been using them ever since we started carrying the butterfly jigs. The best part is they have a knob that will hold the ring open even if you put the pliers down.
