For cutting hooks I can think of no better plier than the
Manley Super Pliers. DO NOT TAKE THESE IN THE SALTWATER as they will corrode. But if you need some cutters that will cut through 4 or even 6x vmcs LIKE BUTTER you need to give these Manley's a try. GREAT for keeping in your vehicle in case you need to cut a hook out of yourself or your buddy. A one-time $40 investment here will keep you from breaking or dulling your expen$ive
Van Staal or Accurate cutters on hooks. Manley Super Pliers are to cutting hooks what the sports tool split
ring pliers are to changing rings. Now you may all think I'm just talking up a product we sell but let it be known the SWE didn't always think so highly of these pliers:
After hearing tall tales about the cutting strength of these pliers we decided to donate a pair to the shop to disprove all the myths. Well we all came away very impressed. We've since cut MANY MANY hooks and once I even used them to put a new flat edge on a screwdriver that had been damaged. Come by the shop and ask to use our
manly super pliers so you can see for yourself

PS: I bet this guy uses Manleys:
