Owners
I've got a pair of Owners with the orange handle (size 7-11 I think). Work well but didn't come with a sheath.

Bluewater
Bluewater stock the various sizes.
I spend a lot of dollars there but I picked up my pliers from japan (ebay) for $40. Strong aussie dollar would see them even cheaper now.

Ive got a sweet set of Ryobi
Ive got a sweet set of Ryobi pliers i brought a while ago (5 years) and they are still awsome. Really small and strong. cant remember where i got them but well worth the cash investment if you find them.

Hi DogSoldier you shoudl
Hi DogSoldier
you shoudl talk to your bank.
There are new types of card available that allows you to use them like a credit card Mastercard/Visa, but instead of credit the purchase comes directly form your debit account.
Great for places that dont have atm/eftpos ( ebay purchases ) as you can use your debit card.

Yeah I was gonna say, Most
Yeah I was gonna say,
Most banks i know of do a visa or mastercard debit card now...
I got a visa one from ANZ... its just the CC facilities hooked up to a debit account so you can use your own money through the credit system, allowing you to buy online and in more places with less hassles.

Duo
I have the duo's , good pliers only downfall is the cutters , they cut braid etc well but 100lb plus leader is a bit difficult and the position of the cutters don't allow a neat snug cut when trimming knots, I would recommend them if it's only splits your going to do but all purpose no way.
Al has fishermen brand and they are the top wazza of pliers , we have spare splits and they are owners , they are ok and well priced , same one's as BIG John has with the orange handles.
PS big John you comming up the Cod dam on the 24th ???? did you get the Email ??
