Xuron for the win
Re: Good split ring pliers
Texas Tackle. No contest. Even though the quality has deterioated in recent years, their pliers are still the best.
Re: Good split ring pliers
Got myself a pair of Texas Tackle pliers after Cal's recommendation. Best ones I've owned. (But changing split rings is still something I expect to be doing as punishment in the 5th circle of hell )
Re: Good split ring pliers
I enjoy doing it with TT pliers. I have their pliers in green and blue and maybe 5* of the orange version. I use the latter for changing split rings and also for changing lures when using a solid ring plus split ring as a diy snap...
I also have several of the Halco and Stonfo pliers, which have similar-ish appearence compared to TT pliers, but do not work quite as well.

Kastking makes a nice set of fishing pliers with a split ring nose on the end. I've used them in salt and fresh and they hold up well.

Re: Good split ring pliers
Ordered the Texas Tackle split ring pliers per recommendation.
Got them today.
Small is definitely small BUT look well made.
Here’s to new beginnings and thanks to all who participated.
Wish I could tell you there’ll be a little something extra in your pay envelope this week but hey, knowing you’ve helped another member of the angling fraternity, etc., etc., etc,.

Re: Good split ring pliers
I use the green handle version and find it too big for most of my needs.
works well on larger split rings though

Re: Good split ring pliers
These work for small split rings. I file the nose so it's more of a sharp blade.
