Tsunoda SNP-165F Slim-type Diagonal Cutter for Plastics

FORGING: Our manufacturing process begins by heating raw metal to over 1,000 degrees 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, the metal properties are improved or changed in terms of strength, hardness, ductility, elasticity, and wear resistance. Our pliers are heated and cooled under tight controls, and the cutting area receives extra induction hardening to achieve an ideal balance of these properties 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 the cutting performance. Our pliers are sharpened piece by piece by experienced artisans using manual work. Any slight deformation caused by the heat treatment process is adjusted, and the pliers are given the optimal edge thickness and angle for each specific purpose, ensuring the best cutting performance.

SINCE 1964: Since our founding in 1964, Tsunoda Co., Ltd. has consistently developed and manufactured hand tools that meet the demands of the times. These hand tools have been highly evaluated by customers both inside and outside Japan. Today, we are still updating the solutions we provide to adapt to changing times and market needs. "Anytime, anywhere, Tsunoda's tools support the creation and lives of people." This is the mindset we always keep in mind as we continue to move forward into the future, alongside our customers.

SLIM JAW & LIGHT WEIGHT: Tsunoda's Slim-type Diagonal Cutter for Plastics features sharp edges optimized for cutting injection mold sprues and gates. The slim jaw design is ideal for cutting in narrow areas, and the thinly sharpened blades provide easy and clean cuts. The sharp edge and lightweight body reduce user fatigue during continuous cutting work. Both Flush Cut and Semi-Flush Cut types are available.
