Ridgemonkey Nite Glo Strip n Snip Scissors - RMT439

The scissors are designed to cut monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided fishing lines effectively.

The handles contain a phosphorescent material that absorbs light during the day or when exposed to artificial light. This stored light is then emitted in dark conditions, making the handles visible.

The integrated braid stripper is designed for common braid constructions. Highly specialized or coated braids may require different techniques or tools.

Lubrication is recommended periodically, perhaps every few months, or if you notice stiffness in the pivot. Always use a light, non-corrosive lubricant suitable for tools.

While the blades are sharp, they are optimized for fishing line. Cutting other materials may dull them prematurely or damage the integrated tools.

These features assist in tightening knots securely, particularly useful when working with slippery modern fishing lines, ensuring a strong and reliable connection.

Ensure the blades are clean and free from debris. Check if the pivot screw is too loose or too tight; a slight adjustment may be needed. For persistent dullness, professional sharpening or replacement might be necessary.

Ensure you are using the stripper correctly on the appropriate type of braid. Some complex or coated braids may be more challenging. Try holding the line taut while using the stripper.

The Nite Glo handles need to be exposed to a light source (sunlight or artificial light) to charge. Ensure they have had adequate light exposure before use in darkness. The glow is designed to be most effective in complete darkness after charging.

Clean any debris from the pivot area. Apply a small amount of light lubricant (like silicone spray) to the pivot. Work the scissors open and closed a few times to distribute the lubricant.
