I really appreciated that because these nippers are expensive.\n\nThe design concept of these nippers is great. The magnetic fly threader is awesome and is what sold me on these. The other neat thing is that both sides of the nippers are magnetized which allows you place a fly on them if you need to. The magnets on the inside are what repel the two sides of the nippers to keep them open. There is no spring mechanism. Great engineering.\n\nWhere these nippers fall short however is where they should not fall short - cutting. There are multiple complaints about the nippers being dull when they are bought.
