Split rings are the small job that ruins your whole setup. You need to open one, and your regular pliers just won't do it. The MJE522 has a dedicated jaw end on the stainless steel body designed specifically for opening split rings, so you stop forcing them with the wrong tool. Same 180mm body, but the large-tip jaw handles split rings, hook crimping, and lure work in one grip. Built-in wire cutter for trace wire. Pouch and lanyard included. 12-month warranty. Add to cart and never fumble with a ring opener again
