heresy!

Pretty cool looking though and interesting as I like the ring pull type keypulls more for alphas and use the wire ones for mods/long keys might be worth me picking up :)

Why anyone would want the plastic puller end is beyond my comprehension. Maybe someone can explain it?

Yeah, I feel like the wire puller is better in every way.

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

Plastic ring pullers are better for NMB Hi-Teks because you can pull from the side edges only.

Also, they are better to carry on your key ring because they don't get bent in your pocket.
“Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began — so that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles on which the temple of liberty was being built.”
- Abraham Lincoln, July 4, 1858

But they scratch your keycaps, especially ABS. :(

Why would you be bothered about them getting scratched since you know usining them make them shine On the flip side (because apparently I'm now a 90s person) wire ones scratch the bottom of keycaps :(

I got one free with my KC87, WHICH IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE ONE IM SELLING IN THE CLASSIFIEDS *wink wink*

IMO, plastic ones are better for pulling off spacebars and long modifiers
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

You guys got it all wrong.
The plastic end is for dropping scotch stones into your scotch, or pulling them back out.

Obviously you use the wire-puller for keys

Ring type pullers can be super-fast to use. No need to wiggle. You could strip a board of its keycaps in under a minute.
