Some combination of rust, a really dense coral skeleton and my disproportionately strong right hand snapped the handle on these 4 year old coral cutters.

Was it a Stylophora? Those guys are tough as hell to cut!

It was actually a tabling acro... However I think it was just their time to break. I've cut worse things with them in the past and they are kind of old. I was just really surprised when it happened. These were Boston Aqua Farms cutters BTW.

I've got your back. I thought the same thing and had a chuckle.
I, however, am much too polite to mention it.

I deliberately said that as a joke knowing full well how it would sound to most people.

How would Mac/Snap-on Side cutters hold up against saltwater corrosion?

I dont think they would at all they rust easily if you get them wet with fresh water. But if you rinsed them in freshwater and dried well after every use i think you would be ok. I would but the flush cut ones very fine tip and can cut through anything work awesome. I have been eyeing these for a while look to have nice stuff.
