Perfect for my ice fishing trips. The pin clears epoxy and paint effortlessly. I’ve used it on multiple fishing sessions and it still looks sharp and works well after repeated use.

Great tool for on-ice prep. The cleaning function is very effective, though the line nipper could be slightly more precise on very thin lines. Still, overall very useful and reliable.
