Bidding goodbye to awkward angles
Iconic Japanese terminal tackle brand Gamakatsu has bid goodbye to awkward angles and hello to an ergonomic pair of pliers.
It has added a 45-degree angle on its new nine-inch version to provide a comfortable position for all types of tasks. Like all pliers from Gamakatsu, they are made of stainless steel with a PTFE coating to make them corrosion-resistant. The plastic is sprayed on and baked to create a non-stick, waterproof, non-corrosive and non-reactive surface. The handles are also non-slip.
They also boast precise crimping jaws to fit various sizes of sleeves and a precision split ring feature on the needle nose. The multi-tasking jaw uses an outside cutter to deal with mono, braid or fluorocarbon.
Included with the pliers are a lanyard and black nylon sheath.

- Split ring feature
- Outside cutter
- Comes with lanyard and sheath
- 45-degree angle provides a comfortable position for a variety of tasks
