Flex Coat Xuron Micro Shear Brand Thread Clippers & Long Nose Pliers. The patented Micro-Shear blade by-pass cutting method reduces effort and extends tool life as the cutting blades do not meet edge to edge. Use this tool on every wrap to get a nice clean flush cut of the thread. The Long-Nose pliers provide strength to grip without bulk or lack of feel found in traditional pliers. These are perfect for working with and tweaking microguides, hook keepers or any small components when custom rod buildin. The spring loaded action will keep you focused on your work and not on the tool. MADE IN THE USA.
