Hello All

To cut a long story short I went for a look around a tackle shop last week, while I was there I thought I would pick up a nice pair of line nipper's to put on my new vest. As in the past I have only used nail clippers.

Anyway I saw some that really caught my eye extemely well packaged declaring more gadgets on them than a Swiss Army Knife. I couldn't actually handle them as they were in a plastic molded package but they looked very well made.

I got them home (I think you can guess where this is going) I took them out of the packet and they just fell apart. The build quality of the nippers left alot to be desired and for the price of £12.99 as they were apparently the deluxe version they were just not worth it. All I can say is at least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

The nippers are I believe quite new to the market, they are made by Stream Works and called Ultimate Nippers.



If you are looking for any in my honest opinion stay well away from these.

The shop where I purchased them were great They offered to replace them but I paid extra and got some Fishpond ones instead.

Cheers all

I use tem and only problem i had was sharpening stone glue wasn't good, a dab of arldite sorted that. If you haven't thrown them in the bin, I'll take them.

Sure there not called Streamworks Ultiamte Rip off:P probably got unlucky tbh as god knows how many of these are pumped out at the factory

I've been a nail clipper man myself up until now, although Bens snips that someone posted a link to look pretty nice and at £2.50 are pretty much the same price as the clippers I've had.

Only problem is that one look at his posts resulted in looking at a pair of snips turned into a shopping list of funky pliers, sharpening stones, tippet retainer as well as the snips!! Do NOT look again till payday..................
