Usage advice
To open a split ring, place the pliers' tip at the ring's opening, then squeeze gradually until it spreads. Slide the desired hook or accessory by rotating it around the ring without forcing. Finally release pressure to let the ring close. Working methodically preserves the integrity of your rings and avoids unnecessary deformation.
When using the split shot function, place the split shot between the pliers' jaws then squeeze gently to attach or remove it from the line. Always work away from your face, keep the line taut and control your movements. After each outing rinse and dry your split ring pliers to maintain smooth operation and extend their service life.
