Had to take a few staples out of my noggin last weekend, the trusty knipex and highly sanitary fishing needled noise pliers worked excellent.

Location: oswego, il		I just bought a pair of knipex over memorial day weekend. My other pair worked fine but there is no comparison. I cut the shank of a treble last weekend like it was going through butter, would have been a chore with my other cutters. Well worth the investment.

Need to get a pair meself; took some stitches outta Spongette once, saving $$$, time and aggravation, although she severely protested. Sounds like they'd work great on a bigger medical prob. as well!

I bought a pair and donated them to a local ER after it took them FOREVER to cut through a treble that was through my finger.
I have 2 pair in the boat, and if I ever need to go to the ER away from home, I'll be taking a pair with me.
No better cutters made.

Location: Chicago, Beverly		I use both my trusty Knipex and my extra long Snap-On Dikes... The Knipex cut like a Hot Knife through butter, the snap-on dikes are great for hard to reach hooks that need something longer. Don't go cheap on something as important as your hook cutters.. the two in the center of the pic are a regular pair of Channellock dikes and a regular pair of Klein dikes...

How much tequilla was involved in the removal process or the process to get the staples?
