FORGING
Our manufacturing starts by heating raw metal to over 1,000deg and shape it between two dies on forging hammer by impact force.
This Forging process provides desired shape and also benefits of aligning the grain flow to obtain hardness & strength.
HEAT TREATMENT
After forging and some machining, pliers enter heat treatment processes. During heating & cooling processes within this stage, metal properties improve or change on strength, hardness, ductility, elasticity or wear resistance etc.
Our pliers are heated and cooled under tight controls and get extra induction hardening on cutting area to obtain ideal balance of these properties on its each part for superior durability.
SHARPENING
Heat Treated pliers in best condition are polished and assembled to proceed to sharpening, which is the most important process determining its cutting performance.
Our pliers are sharpened piece by piece by experienced artisan's hand-work. It's adjusted even slight deformation caused on heat treatment process and pliers obtain best cutting performance with optimal edge thickness and angle for each purpose.

The machining and finishing on these are incredible and absolutely flawless. The teeth in the jaws are precise and sharp, the pivot pin is nicely finished and looks to be very durable as well. Compared to my SK slip joints, these win in every area except for slop but the SK uses a screw so you can adjust the slop as opposed to a rivet pin. One thing to keep in mind is that these have a cutter vs most others that don't, the cutter takes up a good area of the jaws so the pivot point is further down compared to non-cutting ones, this design decreases leverage so these are not a high leverage design due to the cutter. The amount of slop is about average, not great but not the worse I've seen but again, $12. I dont know how they can precisely forge and machine this, give it an amazing finish and sell it at $12. This has to be a budget king tool, you wont find anything else this nice at this price.The only negative is the PVC handles, they're a bit tacky but an argument can be made that it provides better grip so I'll leave that up to preference.

It is well designed and compact. Made in Japan better than China. Price is reasonable too.

I am thankful for independent and unbiased reviews of products. Without them, online shopping would not be possible. With that said, when looking to replace several sets of pliers, I stumbled upon a video review by Project Farm that showed this set of pliers performing the best. Based on the credibility of Project Farm, I ordered several different sets of Tsunoda pliers and was not disappointed. I am thankful to Project Farm for pointing me in the right direction, and I am thankful to Tsunoda for making a quality product at an affordable price point.

The quality of this tool is such a contrast from the usual quality of tools from china it is jarring to the senses. It even puts US made tools from Craftsman, cresent, channel lock, Mac or any of the other higher quality producers (wera, knipex ect) The finish is flawless, the movement is fluid with no spots in the pivot that bind and need to be worn in. It feels solid but not overly heavy or cumbersome. I almost feel like it should be in a display case rather than a tool drawer. I had a long wait for this from the beginning of October until today, but it was well worth the wait.I am really impressed with this tool.

Nicely made, well put together, and attractive. Similar to my 80's craftsman in quality and chrome plating, but maybe a bit better machined. Slightly slimmer though. Good value, and not made in PRC if that's important to you.

These pliers are the best I’ve ever owned. Not only do the pliers work very well but the cutters are outstanding.

Tsunoda are excellent pliers (not just for the price), made in Japan. Very good quality and quality control on all the Tsunoda pliers that I have now.

Enfin un outil de qualité à double ouverture pour plus de capacités et qui pince, serre et coupe avec des mâchoires puissantes et bien alignées. Belle finition chromée avec les faces polies et des poignées plastifiées, juste ce qu'il faut pour adoucir la prise en main sans ressentir les arêtes qui compriment les doigts. Très bon rapport qualité /prix, et qualité Japonaise très fiable.

Very well made pair of slip joint pliers. Jaws close evenly. Rivet slides very smoothly for easy adjustment between the two openings without any extra play or looseness. Quality made in Japan craftsmanship.
