Comments: Best line cutters on the planet. Only bad part is the retractable cord is fragile, so I replace the stock string with 50lb braid and then it's perfect.

Comments: They were decent for a while but they dull fairly quickly and now they just frey the braid, even when you apply tension.... save your money and buy the Pit Bull Cutters.... they cut limp braid like paper!

From: AO: Jawja 12/14/20

Comments: Worked well for awhile but dulled and now just pinched the line and frays it. Wouldn't buy these again

Comments: Wouldn't cut hot butter... and sure won't cut braid unless you pull it completely tight. I even have trouble with it using mono above 17 lb test. The blades slip and pinch instead of cut. Go buy a pair of nail clippers.

Comments: Hands down best cutters on the market!!! I'm the sole deckhand on a 43' charter boat. Upwards of 20 folks a day. 7 days a week. I cannot efficiently do my job without my boomerang nips. You would have to see what I do to believe it! Wether I'm tying gear or dealing with tangles their on my side always within reach. And here's one of many qualities about them that I depend on, they cut quick and clean, mono or braid. I do always keep an extra set handy. I use them constantly everyday so the string tends to Frey out and break. I would probably lose my mind if I did not have this very important tool stuck to me at all times.

Comments: I loved having this cutter! It cut braid amazingly well and the retracting line made it indispensable. My biggest complaint has to do with the clip. It is flimsy at best, which is a shame because the cutter is solidly built. It would be like having a tricked out truck and sticking the cheapest tires possible on it. Boomerang has other products that have a heavier duty clip that matches up well with the product. Long story short, my clip broke off and I had to keep them in my pocket and I ended up dropping them over the side of the boat.

Comments: I'd looked at these for a while but never bought one.  I received one as a gift over Christmas and waited to review them until I had used them.  Well, here we are 5 months into the fishing season and I can't do without them.  I freak out if I can't find them.  I cut and retie more times than I probably should, and use a lot of braid.  When your braid gets older and a little frayed, yes, you will have to pull it tight.  New braid though it cuts like butter.  It works great on every line I've used from 6lb fluoro to 65lb braid and 25lb fluoro.  I don't know how long they will go without needing sharpening, but so far, so good.

Comments: Im not sure why there are alot of bad things about this product, I get the frustration on why it dulls out but its the standard tool and your trying to cut heavier braid. you get what you pay for. buy the next up if you want good braid cutters.

From: Charles: Shelbyville 1/19/17

Comments: Worked great for about two trips, then would barely continue to cut braid. Always frays and leaves fibers strands. Really only good for mono and fluorocarbon. They should get better grade blades so it will hold up to braid, because they are handy and a good idea, just not well made for braid line fishermen.

Comments: I purchased two of these for my wife and I. After a few months, they started to dull and struggle to cut my braided line. I contacted Boomerang and let them know the struggles we were having with our snips. They promptly sent me two brand new Boomerang snips. Excellent customer service!!!!

Comments: Great tool,works great in its first couple months,but I wish they would be a way to sharped them,so you don't have to keep buying a new one...

From: Luc: Canada 4/21/14

Comments: cuts through 80lb spiderwire braid like nothing. Highly recommend!

From: Tyler: IL 4/19/14

Comments: Before I got these I was trying to cut braid but none of my stuff could cut it besides a knife. I got this for my birthday and I used them first time and it just straight cut right through braid. I was surprised so much. I've had these for quite a while they have dulled up a lot but all u haves to do is hold ur line tight.. Love this thing

From: Jason: AL

Comments: Inconsistent...Some good, some not so good. My first one was fantastic, so I got 2 more. Of those two, only one cuts decent and the other you have to make sure the braid is pulled tight. The guy on Angler West commercial says he can cut loose line... not completely true... will cut but will leave frays and have to keep trimming.  Still a good decent tool to keep handy.

Comments: This thing is great. The only issue I've had is that it doesn't float.

From: John: Dallas, TX, USA

Comments: Fantastic little tool, makes you want to kick yourself in the head because YOU didn't think of it ... Built like a tank. Makes a cool gift, one gift that will actually get used by a fisherman instead of tossed into the land of misfit tackle. Buy multiples of them and stash them away.

Comments: Best braid cutting tool I have found yet Ive been using it for almost 2 years with no problems.

From: Ed: FL

Comments: This thing is great. It sure beats my old clippers. It cuts nicely through any line. I also like that it retracts back. I put mine a carbiner  clip and it is always there when I need it

From: Josh: TN

Comments: The best line and braid cutters out there

From: Lenny: CA

Comments: "The Snip" is the real deal. Keep in on your belt loop during the day and you will have a tool close at hand that will handle brain, mono and flourocarbon with ease. Cool little tool!
