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

• Quick Hook Changes:
  The split ring tool design makes changing hooks fast and hassle-free, saving anglers time during lure preparation or repair.
• Clean Cutting Performance:
  The side cutter delivers sharp and accurate cuts on thin leaders and light fishing lines, ensuring neat rigging and fewer wasted lines.
• Secure Split Shot Attachment:
  The integrated crimper applies even pressure, keeping split shots firmly in place on the line without slippage.
• Consistent Lure Action:
  The lure tuning feature restores bent or misaligned lure eyes, helping baits swim as intended and improving catch performance.
• Portable & Easy to Store:
  At a compact 6.5″ size, the pliers fit easily into tackle boxes, pockets, or fishing vests, making them convenient for field use.
• Strong Build Quality:
  Manufactured from 45# carbon steel (AISI 1045) with TPR co-molded handles, the tool offers durability, strength, and reliable grip in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
• Comfortable Non-Slip Grip:
  The co-molded soft grip handles provide a secure, comfortable hold, even when wet, reducing strain during long fishing sessions.
• Smooth One-Handed Operation:
  The double leaf spring system keeps the jaws open consistently, allowing fast, one-handed use — a key benefit for anglers handling multiple tasks at once.

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.
