Messermeister Stainless Steel Fish Plier

These were apparently designed by a person who will never use them then manufactured by and subsequently inspected by people who do not have a sense of smell. The plastic covering on the handles has a very strong and persistent odor that reeks of unpronounceable chemicals that I feel certain should never come in contact with food. I have had these fish pliers for 2 months and the odor is still present, strong as when I opened the package.

Furthermore, the plastic covers on the handles are not water-tight; they appear to have been molded then slipped onto the handles like loose gloves. After I washed the pliers to remove the protective(?) grease the manufacturer had applied, water oozed out from the plastic covers for a considerable time.

I put these near-worthless and expensive pliers in my tool box and I will go to Ace Hardware to buy a pair to use in the kitchen.

I wish people at Amazon.Com would inspect the merchandise they buy before offering it for sale to customers.

If you are like me, you have probably used a regular pair of needlenosed pliers to pull fish bones for most of your life. So, why bother with these?

Well, I finally learned that unlike those regular pliers, these fish pliers have a criss-cross pattern on the inside of the nose. Which means that instead of standard issue straight across grooves, you can get much more traction on the fish bone. I have witnessed this first hand.

(Which also means I can use that other pair for re-stringing my guitar... AFTER a run or two through the dish washer...EW! from here on out...)

Who knew? Now you do too. You won't regret it.

####Update: After Almost a year, we still love this product, and still marvel at how much easier it is to remove those silly fish bones! Love it!

I bought a pair of these pliers to remove salmon pin bones on fish we sent home from Alaska. I liked them so much, I bought another pair for a friend in North Pole, Alaska. He loves them!

The stainless steel fish plier is of good quality steel and has not rusted as I use it in salt water fishing for salmon in the islands. It does not, however, come together perfectly tight at the very tip and thus does not grab thin objects securely.
