Boomerang Tool Company SNIP Fishing Line Cutters with Retractable Tether and Stainless Steel Blades that Cut Braid, Mono and Fluoro Lines Clean and Smooth!

I really wish the handle was a little thinner but not a deal breaker, however I've had no issues with these otherwise.They are sharp and cut well. I have even trimmed a fingernail and a pinch with them. They have no issues. Cutting braid which can be extremely frustrating with bad scissors or nail clippers. I think the price is a little bit high but not unreasonable. I've had no issues with rust. They're comfortable to hold, but sometimes the width can get in the way. I'm glad I bought the longer ones. It makes them easier to use.I think they could taper the plastic more towards the clippers and still leave room for the retractable wheel being wider. Either way, I don't think it would stop me from purchasing them unless they made a modified version.

I purchased an Original SNIP from a brick and mortar a few years ago. One of the best fishing purchases I ever made! This one easily cut Spectra braid up to 300# and often cut it cleanly without the line being under tension. Not every single time, but probably upwards of 90% of the time, it would cleanly cut limp Spectra braid. Certainly a five star product in my book.Fast forward a few years and my trusty SNIP "disappeared" on a fishing boat. So I purchased three new SNIPS - another original, a Big Salt, and a Long Fly. I was building a lot of wind-on leaders and used the new tools both for leader making at home and for use when out fishing. Well, this new trio performed adequately, but never to the level of that original Original SNIP. The new ones easily cut tightly stretched Spectra, but only occasionally sliced through limp Spectra. I suppose that's all that should be expected from these tools. Most cutting tools cannot cleanly cut through limp Spectra line. But my first pair of SNIPS was so impressive, it's a letdown that the new ones don't offer that same capability.For performance, these get five stars. They do what they're supposed to do, cut fishing line. For value, they get three stars. There are plenty of braided line cutting tools available, like cheap children's scissors, that do as good a job of cutting braided fishing line as the SNIPS do and cost a lot less. So for me, four stars for my Amazon-purchased SNIPS.

This cutter slice through braid like butter—seriously, it’s almost magical! No more struggling with frayed ends or dull blades; these babies make quick work of any fishing line. The stainless steel construction feels sturdy and reliable, so I know they’ll last through many fishing trips.The retractable tether is a brilliant feature, too. It keeps the cutters handy and prevents them from getting lost in the chaos of my tackle box. I can easily clip them to my gear and have them right where I need them.

Must have equipment on the water.

works well
