Very interested in how u go, Nags loves his, and i was very dissapointed in mine. mine would not cut limp braid without adding considerable shear force with fingers.

I'll post how the go once I've got them. They'll be used for cutting PE0.6 and 0.8 braid.

Scissors arrived yesterday. They are quite a bit bigger than the ones they are replacing, but I'll get used to that. Used them to cut limp braid and they did a great job as long as the braid was being cut at around the middle of the blade. No fraying on PE0.6 unless I cut towards the tip of the blade. They feel well made and seem pretty sturdy. They definitely cut much better than my old ones (although they are a few years old now)

SURPRISE PERFORMER

got hold of these bad boys this week and although not designed for cutting thin braided lines, I gave them a run anyway, just for sh!ts and giggles

Easily cut through unitika aorika, 10lb castaway and even the really thin thread I use on small trout flies. The cutters are the recessed sections on either side

Mind blown, but definitely overkill for bream fishing.

Yeah I was very unimpressed with mine and managed to return it. did not cut limp braid without adding shear force with fingers. $7 Bekleys cut much better.

Just an update -

Dont buy the berkley nail clippers if you want to cut slack braid. They will cut braid but you have to yank on the braid way too hard to get it to cut

Luckily I bought them to cut my nails and they do that fine

Give these a crack to hold your nippers/scissors

They’re good to go

Two sizes, large and small

I was trying to work out where you slide the scissors in or whether it was a magnet

The big ones have a lock/unlock mechanism which is pretty handy
