I have bought several pairs of these pliers using these cutters as they serve my purpose very well but I have looked through yet more of these spare cutter sets in a desperate attempt to align cutters . I've tried the advice in the reviews, contacted the manufacturer and even asked the place I bought the pliers from to install these cutters correctly to no avail. Most of my friends fish with pliers that need these or similar replacement blades and they genuinely agree. You'll never cleanly cut braided line again. I don't believe any reviews that say they were able to cut the braid again. The pliers are good, they last a season or two of active fishing, but I consider them disposable because of the inferior replacement cutters.
