For rig work, select the scissors according to the fishing line, and the pliers according to the task: cutting, crimping, gripping or releasing. Do not use a cutting edge for twisting and do not squeeze a crimp with an instrument that does not shape it evenly. Before sailing, check the jaws, hinges and handles because the damage is more difficult to remove on board.
The hook-slicer and the kocher are selected by access to the hook and whether you can work with an accurate, calm grip. Claws also make sense only if they give a secure grip for the specific job. Keep sharp tools separate from spare fishing lines and ready-made mounts so they don't damage them when moving luggage.
Salty glues remain on tools and their removable parts even when an item has protection for a marine environment. After the outing, wash off the paste, dry gently and let the hinges ventilate. Examine the elastic, safety, tips and locking mechanisms; cracking, loosening, corrosion or other visible damage means that the tool should not be used before service.
Laying the board is part of safe operation. Determine a permanent space for each instrument, accessible without stepping through ropes or open boxes, and return what is used immediately there. When moving, retract the tips and close the scissors and pliers. That way you find what you need quickly, without any sharp parts remaining loose around your arms and tackle.
At sea, the choice of instrument depends on the particular rig and work that is to be done on the shore or in the boat.
