--couple of reasons to buy the split ring tool.
-- split ring may be damaged  if opened to wide may not close completely thus start to catch your line on it etc.
--any roughing up of the ring, small bur etc can cut your line
--painted blades and thicker spoons easy to chip paint.
--using a knife or screw driver..(of course I have too) when pushing the blade in ...ooops ring flies off, finger gets cut

--and the tools are not expensive even professional grade
