Tsunoda PW-202DG POWER Long Nose Pliers, 6-Inch

FORGING Our manufacturing process begins by heating raw metal to over 1,000 degrees Celsius and shaping it between two dies on a forging hammer using impact force. This forging process provides the desired shape and also aligns the grain flow to obtain hardness and strength.

HEAT TREATMENT After forging and some machining, the pliers undergo heat treatment processes. During the heating and cooling stages of this process, the metal properties are improved or altered in terms of strength, hardness, ductility, elasticity, or wear resistance. Our pliers are heated and cooled under tight controls and receive extra induction hardening on the cutting area to achieve the ideal balance of these properties in each part for superior durability.

SHARPENING The heat-treated pliers in the best condition are polished and assembled to proceed to the sharpening process, which is the most important step in determining their cutting performance. Our pliers are sharpened piece by piece by experienced artisans through manual work. Any slight deformation caused during the heat treatment process is adjusted, and the pliers obtain the best cutting performance with the optimal edge thickness and angle for each purpose.

TSUNODA Premium High-Leverage Pliers - High-Leverage Joint increases cutting force by 30% - Heat-treated, durable forged steel - Ergonomic bi-material handle grip - Tether attachment hole - Made in Japan

High-Leverage Joint The multiplication of manual force is one of the most important functions of pliers, and their force transmission ratio is based on the principle of leverage: The longer the lever arm, the greater the cutting force. The pliers are designed for a higher transmission ratio while considering various constraints, such as suitable length, weight, durability, and the reach of human hands.

The high-leverage joint provides greater cutting force thanks to the joint being closer to the cutting edges, with a specially designed pivot area. This allows for a 30% increase in force without changing the overall body size.
