 whs  Granted at times even a sharp knife can give you fits on the braid but typically it gets the job done.

If you check the power pro booklet they pack with the line, they suggest Fiskars for kids safely scissors. That would fit right in for you Skip cause I know you are not allowed to be near sharp objects.  ;D

I use the Rapala Carbide Pro Pliers (I am not allowed to be near sharp objects either  ;D).

Braid scissors mostly but I did buy one of those micro soldering tools.  Seems every time I go to use the tool the batteries are dead.  rgmn

 whs  They will rust if you don't shoot some Real Magic or WD40 on them once in a while. But, they cost about $20, remove split rings with ease and cut braid like butter. t^

Scissors or most times my lighter
Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.
