Xuron Stainless Steel Split Ring Pliers

Marine Grade Excellence: Xuron 496SS Stainless Steel Split Ring Pliers

Take your rigging to the next level with the Xuron 496SS, the stainless steel version of the industry-favorite split ring tool. Specifically upgraded for saltwater environments and high-humidity conditions, these pliers offer the same legendary precision as the original but with the added benefit of superior corrosion resistance.

The 496SS is designed to handle the smallest split rings (down to size #00) without deforming them, yet it remains strong enough for heavy-duty saltwater hardware. The curved catch tip effortlessly wedges into the ring and holds it open, leaving your other hand free to quickly swap out hooks or lures.

Key Features:

• Stainless Steel Construction: Engineered to resist rust and corrosion, making it the perfect choice for saltwater anglers and marine use.

• Specialized Catch Tip: The curved "tooth" opens the split ring and keeps it seated, eliminating the struggle of trying to pry rings apart with your fingernails.

• Xuro-Rubber Grips: Features non-slip, cushioned handles that provide a comfortable feel and maximum control, even when your hands are wet.

• Light Touch Return Spring: A low-profile spring automatically returns the tool to the open position, allowing for rapid, repetitive use with minimal hand fatigue.

Why the Stainless Version?

While standard tools can seize up after exposure to salt spray, the 496SS is built to live in your tackle bag. It is the "Buy It For Life" choice for serious anglers who need a reliable tool that performs perfectly season after season.

Pro Tip: These are the gold standard for musky and saltwater anglers who constantly change out heavy-duty trebles. The notch-and-tooth design provides much more stability than generic pliers, preventing the ring from "pinging" across the room.
