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.
TSUNODA Long Nose Pliers
- Heat treated durable forged steel
- Serrated jaws for secure grip
- Flush rivet to reach target in narrow area
- Non-slip PVC handles
- Made in Japan
Fine Adjusted Nose Tip
Needle nose pliers equipped with cutting edges necessarily have more or less gap on the tips. This is inevitable consequence of equipping cutting edges, which need to meet perfectly to fulfill its function. Nose tips are purposely designed not to meet, to prevent from interfering cutting function.
On TSUNODA long nose pliers, tips seem to be perfectly closed. However, these tips are finely adjusted manually piece by piece due to the individual difference of distortion in heat treatment process, and finished to keep a invisible gap of under 0.03".
Upon an artisan's long experienced skill, our pliers obtain uncompromising quality of cutting and picking up even a hair.

今まで使っていた物が使い方が荒いのか少し口が開いてきたので買換です。先端の精度も良いですし、開閉の動きもスムーズです。そんなに使う頻度は多くないかもしれませんが、狭い所で物を掴むという時にはこれくらいのサイズが役に立ちます。ロングノーズでは取回し難いし、短いと力を入れ難いし私にとっては無くてはならないサイズです。

This is a beautifully made tool that has me in awe.Generally the 125mm version is small and will work for light to medium gripping applications. The jaws might not be delicate enough for some jewellery or smd electronics applications, they're probably more suited to everyday hobbyist or small workshop or on-site tasks.There's no flex in the jaws even when they're under a decent gripping or levering load at the tip or being twisted and there's no flex in the handles. The tips are strong enough to use for removing upholstery staples from wood for example.The machining throughout is superb and flawless. Both faces of the gripping part of of the jaws are perfectly parallel and the grips make flat contact throught their entire length to the point where they'll grip a thin strip of plastic like cling wrap anywhere in the front half of the jaws. The jaws are slightly blunted at the end (see the pic above with the USB-C plug for scale). The machined gripping area of the jaws is quite pronounced as well as induction hardened and they grip very well. They will leave visible marks if they're used to grip plastic or softer metals.The hinge has zero slop in it, it's silky smooth and there's no resistance to opening or closing fully in either direction. I can't stress enough how good the hinge is, it's really a pleasure.The wire cutter is sharp and crisp to use. It will cut 8mm dia appliance cables, copper or steel wire a few milimeters thick very easily as well as a single, very fine strand of 0.2mm copper wire anywhere along it's length. The meeting of the cutting edges is perfect and gap-free along their entire length.On the back side of the hinge is a second, more high leverage gripping surface, something akin to a fish tape grip you get on linesman's pliers, just smaller obviously. This grip has a 3mm parallel gap along its length and it also has hardened gripping surfaces.The handles are dipped and easy enough to grip. They're small... especially in my XXL hands but they're what you'd expect for this size of tool. They're not sprung.I can't get over how good the machining is and the attention to detail, every machined face on one jaw aligns perfectly with the machined face on the opposite jaw. Every right angled edge is broken with.a radius just sufficiently that it's not sharp enough to be an annoyance or uncomfortable during use. The gripping surfaces are aggressive enough and hardened so they'll do real work. They're far beyond what I expected at this price point and I'm very happy. I'll definitely be buying more of this brand in future.

Good pliers with a strong serrated grip. Jaws are well aligned and they feel solid.

High-quality and precise. The 8" length are thinner/lighter than many others. They fit into tight spaces, which can be a benefit.

Nose alignment is perfect. Spring tension is ideal. Grips are good and the curvature fits in hand nicely. Great product.

Precise, well made, and too cheap to believe. Honestly I found this brand at the beginning of the year (thank you Project Farm!) and I have been nothing but impressed. The tool quality to price ratio is better than any hand tool company I've ever come across. I know there are 'higher end' hand tool manufacturers out there, but none are going to satisfy the task AND the wallet like Tsunoda. You can't go wrong. Buy it.

These pliers are very well made and the fit and finish are awesome. The tips of these will pick up a hair. When compared to other brands, the Japanese made Tsunoda is a true bargain.
