LOS ALTOS, Calif., May 17, 2011 – New from Boomerang Tool Company, “The Snip” offers anglers an alternative to line-cutting tools like scissors and nail clippers. Attach The Snip’s integrated retractable 36-inch nylon cord to your boat, tackle box, belt loop or vest, and you’ll have a cutting device handy at all times.

Compact and durable, The Snip features strong, precise stainless steel jaws that slice through monofilament, fluorocarbon and braid, claims the company. It also boasts a built-in LED light, making it easy to see and cut line before sunrise, at dusk – even when night fishing. But what really distinguishes The Snip from other line-cutting tools is its integrated, spring-loaded retractable “leash”. This system allows the Snip to be attached virtually anywhere on your boat, or on your person, and extend a full three feet for use. When you’re finished cutting, just lock The Snip’s scissor blades in “safe mode” and let go; the unit will automatically retract to its original position. You’ll never have to search around for your cutting tool again, and since The Snip is always secured, there’s no chance of losing it overboard.

Although The Snip is about the size of your thumb and weighs a mere 1.25 ounces, it’s big when it comes to performance. The blades are made of “Grade 420” stainless steel, for a clean, smooth cut every time and maximum protection against the elements. Corrosion resistant, along with a rugged yet lightweight housing, make The Snip suitable for use in most freshwater and saltwater environments.

Boomerang’s “integrated blade safety mechanism” lets you easily lock the blades in a closed position by squeezing the aluminum handles on the side of The Snip’s casing. Another squeeze of the side handles releases the blades into “scissor” mode for cutting duty.

Boomerang offers The Snip with or without the LED light feature, and in a variety of colors. With an MSRP of just $14.95 ($11.95 MSRP for the version without the LED light), it’s priced to fit any fisherman’s budget.  Every Snip is also backed up by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.
