vinnyb Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I have the 850EX. They're a bit on the small side, so if you want a bigger plier I'd go with the 900 or 950. They also make one in the 800 series with a side cutter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big country Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Id go with the 900 or 950.. the 850's are nice, bnut like vinny said, a little small.. I too will attest that the oinly time these pliers see fresh water is when Im trout fishing.. I NEVER EVER clean my stuff.. not even over the winter.. thank god for Boga, VS, and these donmars.. I just ordered VS titanium pliers, so I think im covered for a while..

Awesome job by them.. Im gonna write a letter thanking them for a job well done.. BC I hear ya. At first I was a bit PO'd when I found out I had to send 'em back to have the cutters replaced (you can no longer purchase replacement cutters). But when I got them back, I was more than happy with the service. Like you said - they're like a brand new set of pliers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korkerstud Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Great info BC, thanks. I have the side cutter, 880 I believe is the model. Really like them alot, just the right size and cut braid like butter. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
