Custom Wholesale Outing Fishing Using Multi-Purpose 6.5″ Carbon Steel Split Ring Pliers

Carbon steel split ring pliers are compact tools for anglers. They open split rings, change hooks, crimp lead shots, and cut light leaders. With these functions, they improve rigging efficiency and reduce lure damage.

RTI’s 6.5″ Carbon Steel Split Ring Pliers are made from 45# high-strength carbon steel (AISI 1045). This material offers a strong balance of hardness, toughness, and durability for fishing use. The pliers feature a TPR co-molded handle that provides comfort and a secure grip, even when wet.

In addition, the tool integrates several functions. It includes a split ring opener, a side cutter for fishing lines, a split-shot crimper, and a double leaf spring for smooth one-hand operation.

For our B2B clients, the pliers are available with OEM logo marking, private-label packaging, and wholesale bulk supply. This flexibility allows brands and distributors to meet different market demands with confidence.

Product Specifications

Carbon Steel Split Ring Pliers Product Details

• Spring Loaded:
  The pliers feature a spring-loaded jaw design with a rebound angle of approximately 25–30°, allowing the jaws to reopen smoothly after each cut or crimp. This ensures consistent readiness during repeated operations.
• Split Shot Crimper:
  Built into the inner jaw surface, the crimping slot is designed to press split shots in the range of 0.5–2.5 g securely onto fishing lines up to 0.40 mm diameter. The crimper applies uniform pressure without flattening or weakening the line.
• Side Cutter:
  The side blades are manufactured with hardened carbon steel edges, achieving a hardness rating of HRC 50–54. They can cut monofilament up to 1.2 mm, fluorocarbon up to 0.8 mm, and light wire leaders up to 0.6 mm in diameter.
• Lure Tuning Tool:
  The front jaw notch is sized at 2.0 mm, suitable for adjusting lure eyelets ranging from 1.5–2.5 mm. It enables anglers to re-align bent lure rings, restoring factory-level lure action.
• Double Leaf Spring:
  Equipped with a dual-leaf spring system, the pliers distribute opening force evenly across both jaws. This design extends spring durability by 20–30% compared with single-spring pliers, reducing the risk of fatigue or failure.
• Co-Molded Soft Grip Handles:
  The handles measure 100 mm in length and are co-molded with TPR over a rigid core. The textured surface increases friction by up to 35% compared with plain plastic grips, providing secure handling even when wet or oily.

Advantages of Carbon Steel Split Ring Pliers

Compact size

6.5″ length makes the pliers pocket- and tacklebox-friendly for anglers and field technicians, simplifying storage and transport for retail and bulk shipments.

TPR handle & carbon steel material

Constructed from AISI 1045 (45#) carbon steel with TPR grips, the tool balances strength and corrosion resistance with a comfortable, durable handle suitable for both freshwater and light saltwater use.

Co-molded soft-grip handles

TPR is overmolded onto a rigid core to create a textured, non-slip surface that improves grip security and reduces hand fatigue during repeated rigging operations.

Split ring tool

An integrated split-ring opener speeds hook changes and reduces damage to split rings and lures, improving rigging efficiency for professional users and retailers.

Side cutter

Hardened cutter edges provide clean cuts on monofilament, fluorocarbon, and light leader wire, enabling neat rigging and fewer line failures during assembly or repairs.

Split shot crimper

Built-in crimp slot secures split shots without flattening or over-compressing the line, delivering consistent pressure for reliable weight attachment.

Lure tuning tool

A front-jaw notch designed for lure eyelets lets users realign bent rings and restore factory action, preserving lure performance and reducing returns or complaints.

Double leaf spring

The dual-leaf spring ensures smooth, consistent opening for reliable one-hand operation, increasing speed and durability compared with single-spring designs.

Carbon Steel Split Ring Pliers Manufacturing process

1. Design & Specification: Finalize plier geometry, split-ring tip, side cutter, crimper, handle shape, and branding.
2. Material Sourcing: Procure 45# carbon steel, TPR/TPE for handles, leaf springs, pivot pins, and packaging from approved suppliers.
3. Blanking / Forging: Cut steel bars and forge or stamp rough plier shapes for strength. Trim excess material.
4. CNC / Machining: Machine jaws, tip, side cutter, and crimper to precise tolerances. Ensure jaw halves align correctly.
5. Heat Treatment & Hardening: Harden cutter edges and jaw tips for durability. Temper the tool to reduce brittleness.
6. Surface Finishing: Polish and deburr surfaces. Apply optional corrosion-resistant coatings for saltwater use.
7. Handle Co-Molding: Overmold TPR/TPE handles onto the steel body. Include finger guard and soft-grip texture.
8. Assembly: Install leaf spring and pivot pin. Check jaw alignment, spring action, and crimper function.
9. Quality Control & Testing: Inspect geometry, cutting edges, spring performance, and overall finish. Perform functional tests including split-ring opening and line cutting.
10. Packaging & Labeling: Pack according to specifications: blister card, color box, private-label, or bulk packaging. Apply logos if required.
11. Logistics & Shipping: Prepare documentation and ship under agreed terms to distributors or wholesalers.
