Gerber Magniplier Saltwater Fishing Pliers

Bearhand Control is an ergonomic control system comprised of 3 design elements. First, the space between the handles is purposeful. It is optimized to engage where the hand is strongest for maximum force. Second, an oversized finger choil is integrated as another place to rest the forefinger providing added stability. Last, the nose of the pliers is off axis for improved line of sight and control when removing the hook from a fish’s mouth.The pliers feature a hot-forged aluminum construction, allowing the metal to be manipulated into the ergonomic design as well as give the pliers unrivaled strength. The spring-loaded pliers lessen hand fatigue and are held in check by a plunge lock, meaning the tool won’t open unexpectedly when you’re on the move or catching fish. The nylon sheath includes a belt loop, d-ring and coiled plier lanyard and can be tethered from multiple points.The Magniplier’s jaw tips are purposely biased open. There is a tolerance range for the gap, ensuring that the cutters will close completely and function as intended when gripping an object. The maximum end of the tolerance range allows the user to close the tips completely by squeezing slightly harder after the cutters have made contact with one another. To ensure optimal performance, rinse your tool with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a clean towel. Apply oil to hinges and moving parts on a regular basis.Renowned as a master of knives and tools, Gerber’s problem-solving, life-saving products are designed with the unique needs of specific activities in mind.
