Can't believe the PB braid cutters (and copies) haven't been posted yet. Had both of them for years and they have been faultless!

I nether liked the RM scissors, too thick can't get close enough to some knots.

Nice one Jason.
Yep - they must be the originals - Fox and Ridgemonkey just copied them. But Ridgemonkey are £8.99 and Fox and PB are £10.99

I have a set of Gardner Blades and I bought 5 pairs of surgical scissors off the bay a few years ago at the same price as the blades. I'd replace the cheap ones each year, still have both the Gardner are a back up.

Just bought 15 at a quid a pair.

I had a pair of PB Products Cutter Pliers maybe mine were Friday ones ? as I cut a ring off of a swivel and it ruined the edge

They are braid scissors Gerry. Good for nothing else and they do ruin if you cut metal with them lol..🤣🤣

I usually use the brother in laws hand me down wire cutters (hes a sparkie) for taking rings off swivels etc. If you use them Cutters just on braid they last forever. 👍

Fox Edges Carp Braid Blades XS - Had them 3 years and they are still as sharp as the day I bought them. Cost about £13 which at the time I thought was excessive but wouldn't hesitate to go for another pair if I lost/broke these.

Also just to note, I always carry a Leatherman which I use for cutting swivels etc and keep the scissors for braid/line only

I did the same with my first Fox braid blades. Cutting a swivel definitely ruins them, my fault entirely though
