I have misused these nail clippers, I use him to thin fishing braided lines abzuknipsen. This has not gather other I tested clippers will not work with special times of the fishing industry This is so meticulously crafted and sharp, so this works without problems. He hangs with me on the hook jacket, is always at hand and does not bother because of the size and the minimal weight PS: Also for nail snapping it is naturally great!
