Very good review. I’ve got the Preston one and find that putting very small shot on line is fiddly, I’ve just bought the guru ones, when they arrive I’ll compare how easy it is to apply smaller shot
Nice comparison Carl. It's a pretty basic tool though and I use my old long nose pliers from work (retired 15 years now thankfully) and the fish don't seem to know the difference! Nice to see the comparison though from an ordinary non sponsored angler.
I had the Guru one's unbranded from aliexpress before. The clip that makes them open broke. I like the preston ones, the remover is great, taken shot off 0.08 line with no issue, and the metal snipper bit great for altering floats.
Yip deffo guru ones on price alone for doing practically same job, plus alot more rivets on prestons, to me means more can go wrong just my oppion buddy, great vid as always cya on the next one 👍
The Guru ones are exactly the same as the Cresta ones which are about 7.99 so surprisingly the Guru ones are cheaper. I have the Cresta and they are good, I do think the prestons are very overpriced.

Styl & Shot Pliers only £4.00
Pound shop ones .

Prestons having a laugh with the price. Stonfo Levapiombo are the best £7 more compact aswell fit in your box drawer
I wonder if Nytro will launch a hybrid of the two, taking the best features of both and sell em for around £10
@@macoustra1 that’s a good shout pal would not surprise me

@@StephenPickering-b5u same here mate it’s a shame about the Preston ones because I do like them just not there that price point 👍🏻
