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.

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

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.
