Dr. Slick Microburst Plier 5,75'' Alu Frame Tungsten Carbide Cutters black

The Dr. Slick Microburst Plier is the smallest variant of the new Storm series, and at a length of 5.75 inches (approximately 14.5 cm), it is a true powerhouse in a compact format. Ideal for situations requiring precision and mobility, this compact plier offers the same robust quality and functionality as its larger counterparts – all at an affordable price.

Made from high-quality, saltwater-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum, the Microburst Plier is lightweight, durable, and designed for intensive use. The heat-treated SUS420 J2 stainless steel jaws, with a Rockwell hardness of 52, ensure impressive stability and longevity. The grippy, non-slip rubber handles and self-opening spring mechanism provide comfortable handling, even for demanding tasks.

The side tungsten carbide cutting blades with a hardness of over 70 Rockwell are precise, sharp, and versatile. Whether you’re cutting thick monofilament, modern braided lines, or synthetic high-tech lines, these blades handle the job effortlessly. Even wire up to 60 lbs strength can be cut without any problems. For long-term use, the cutting blades are replaceable, significantly extending the plier's lifespan.

The jaws of the Microburst Plier feature a dual structure: one half is smooth, the other ribbed. This makes the plier suitable not only for gripping and crimping but also for delicate tasks like removing smaller hooks. Despite its compact size, it is highly versatile and ideal for fly anglers who don’t want to compromise while on the go.

With the included clip-on holster and flexible coiled bungee leash, the Microburst Plier is easy to transport and always within reach. The holster comes with a practical clip that can be securely attached to belts, wading belts, or bags. Additionally, replacement blades, spare jaws, and a matching hex key are included to ensure your plier is always ready for use.

Care recommendation: To maximize the lifespan of your Microburst Plier, rinse it with clear water after each use – especially in saltwater – and apply a light oil coating. This simple maintenance keeps the plier in top condition and ensures years of reliable use.

In short: The Dr. Slick Microburst Plier is the perfect choice for demanding anglers seeking a versatile, durable, and high-performance tool for uncompromising use in both fresh- and saltwater, while preferring a more compact, smaller size.
