Fine Don't believe me, WATCH TIL THE END, and let the results speak for themselves, but Yes, These REALLY cut better than Knipex, and Gedore and NWS Diagonal cutters.

These REALLY cut better than KNIPEX
Ya man I got a bunch of fujiya stuff now and damn. They make some amazing pliers. Top notch quality and finish. Some of the best pliers I have ever used for sure!!! Great video man
If tony says it , I believe it. Love the channel. Cuz I watch tony it recommended me to here. And u subscribed immediately. Thx
After watching one of your Fujiyama vids,I bought a pair pliers from Amazon, immediately returned them, didn’t even open package as the jaws didn’t line up. That wasn’t a good first impression for me. Hope it was just a random a defect , they weren’t bent, they were clearly misaligned…230-165-bg 7” slip joints…. I’d be interested in something else
@@cowboy41231 you might want to try them again. I have over 15 pairs and they have all been amazing and not a single one is misaligned or has any defects. The only pair I don't care for is a set from them not made in Japan. And it has nothing to do with quality and more to do with the texture of the tool. So I'm sorry to hear you recieved a defective product but that's possible with any company. Those light weight slip joints have been great for me
@@TonyTheTechnician o I will, everyone is human! Right after I wrote that reply I had a Fujiyama flush cut angle pliers in my cart, however I ended up ordering the tsunoda wire tie pliers, (same thing as the Fujiyama but they also have a grip area to pull the zip tie). Looking forward to them. At a minimum you my eye on them! In meantime I'll be going back to ordering the knipex twingrips with new soft grips :-) keep wrenchin' buddy!
@@cowboy41231 very nice!!! Idk why I still haven't got the twin grips yet lol. I've wanted them since before they were released. I should just order them already
Victor was an independent company until a couple years ago, when it was absorbed by Fujiya. As far as I know, the plant is still running, and only those with 15+ years of experience in pliers-making are handling the production of the PLUS + series tools. An interesting fact is that they produced a laser-hardening machine, in house, for pin-point hardening of the cutting edges/gripping teeth.
Mr. Garnett you have such a great channel. I enjoy all of your videos and have learned a great deal from them. Thank you for taking time to make them. Larry
Appreciate it bud, I'm just glad someone gets value out of what I do here👍🏾
Made in Japan means quality. Working ethic and attention to details are just phenomenal. Thank you for reviewing, great stuff.
To be fair, the Knipex are clearly much older and not brand new, but still look like they're cutting great. Also, the Knipex were the longer handled, higher leverage cutters.
Very sweet cutters. That mirror finish is something!
Thanks dude. Really appreciate your reviews. Love the fact you explained about the Victor line. Not many have talked on these.
Keep it up my brother
Not surprised. Japanese blades are usually fantastic. They make very good blade steels as well.
For the longest time I've been meaning to get into buying some Japanese knives but haven't gotten around to it yet.
WoW they look like a great pair of cutters
Yeah they really cut alot nicer than than any of the other ones I have.
Looks like the fuhjihua cuts that wire like butter! Gonna have to add it to my collection
Rn I’m only using Klein and Knipex pliers. They work good enough for me. But Mayb when they wear out I’ll give these a try
Like wise.
Good manufacturer, up there with Vampliers! I understand why the American tool industry (essentially) collapsed - thank dog we still have the Germans and Japanese still practicing craftsmanship. That, and I know that if (many) of my tools get stolen - they'll be easy to pick out at the pawn shop...
Yeah, the american tool industry is just a skeleton of what it used to be
Most are USA owned MADE IN China.
CoolThe Victors look like a surgical grade pair. I think the Knipex 74-250 will take more abuse. I've had mine for 27 years off a Matco truck & they will still cut anything up to a # 8 or even # 10 steel screw🎱🤓☮✌👍🏾
Hey my Friend. Another awesome tool maker from Japan is Vampire Tools. More specifically, the Vampliers line of pliers that are designed for stripped screw removal, but pack all kinds of versatility within. Give them a try! Cheers Buddy! Zip~
I have seen the Vampliers in a comparison test presented by Project Farm. tested really well.
Vampliers and Engineer pliers are the exact same. Vampliers are just marketed to the US and almost double the price. Save the bucks and get engineers
I have a pair of IRWIN side cutters that look almost exactly These NWS and stamped with the same MADE IN GERMANY stamp. I bought them to replace my second pair of 10" high leverage Knipex side cutters for use in convention/trade show work in electrical. I have cut a few nails and screws with them with no noticeable damage to the tool. My first of pair of Knipex 10" side cutters seen about a year of cutting Nails, Screws, dog chain, spiral cable wire, electrical wire and other material out of machines called Sorting Screens in a recycle center about 5 hours a night, 5 nights a week. The only reason i had to replace them is because I left them out somewhere and someone grabbed them or I lost them. Now having a 3rd pair. The Knipex cutters have a longer jaw than your average side cutter.
Nothing makes a man happier than holding his tool in his hand.
Dang just bought a set of channel locks. For $27 after coupon on Amazon these are a good deal.
Not too shabby AND they're eligible for prime shipping!
IMO those knipex felt easier due to the advantage of leverage. The handle is a lil longer. I’m sure those knipex would have felt the same as the first 2 shorter handled ones. Thanks for the comparison
Well done, I had a set in the cart ready to buy until you mentioned no warranty, When I am spending that much a tool I expect them to stand behind it.
Japanese tools are top notch.
Well those Japanese cutters are brand new and the Knipex look like they've been rode hard and put to bed wet for many years and are no doubt much duller and worn than a brand new set would be. You should have gotten a new pair of Knipex. Putting new against old doesn't prove anything. Don't get me wrong, I like Japanese tools and a lot are very high quality. They do seem to be made for smaller hands though.
Agreed. I have two pairs of the same knipex (one brand new) and i did the same test. New vs old and they were night and day.
@adamaj Yeah I said that in the video
Exactly! I was like, why is he using those obviously old and beat up Knipex against brand new cutters? And you don't want too sharp of an edge anyway, they will wear out and get knicks etc., quicker. Knipex does it smart and makes them sharp enough and extremely durable. For example, I watched a video of a cutter comparison where they were cutting piano wire. Sure enough the guy doing the comparison commented that another brand cut a little easier than the Knipex, BUT, when he showed the jaws after cutting piano wire a few times, the ones that cut easier also had notched cutting edges whereas the Knipex looked like new still. Knipex does it right, does it smart. And if you're complaining about having to use slightly more force to cut something, you may do better with an office job or something lol...
LMAO nice jab, I did mention the old vs new thing( you just had to watch long enough) oh and that office job thing... Yeah you must not know what I Do
@@GarnettTools Know what you do? Well of course we don't know you personally, at least I don't, so we have only this video, and that only serves to bolster everyone else's arguments. I don't understand why you would have done and said some of the things in this video if you are indeed a craftsman of some type and not white collar. It makes no sense for you to title the video in such a way that states these new Japanese cutters that you've only just received are better than Knipex ( or any other brand you have) when you haven't used them for enough time to make such a judgment. This, and a few other discrepancies in the video, are the reason I have to side with the others in this thread. I think you just got some new shiny tools and got a little excited and overhyped them.
One thing the fujiya cuts better than old rusty knipex, would it be better than a new set and also will it last as long. Not judging I've never seen a fujiya, genuine question. Also when you look in the cut out holes of those Victor's they do look a little rough and you wouldn't tend to see that on a knipex, also the quality on the lettering looks a lot better on a knipex
They actually would be better than brand new Knipex ones because the Japanese make great knives and cutters that’s what they’re known for.
The length of pliers are different. One plier is evidently newer than others.
Those are not pliers, they are works of art.
I have 10 of them and I have framed them and hang them on my living room wall.
The Fujia superiority is obvious! They build some of the best cars and motorcycles, it would stand to reason their tools would be great too.
That Japanese steel has a pretty good reputation too.
@@GarnettTools
It's not the steel, it is how they process it. Attention to detail. You will never see a worn cylinder wall in a Honda or Toyota. Ridge reamers are not necessary.
@@upsidedowndog1256 I got a honda block with a worn cylinder wall.
@@Questchaun how in the hell did you do that? I have never even seen the crosshatches smoothed out on Honda cars, bikes, ATVs, or side by sides. You must have had boost like turbo or nitrous.
@@upsidedowndog1256 no all motor. The piston failed and scuffed the wall.
I bought one bc of this video on Amazon. Ordered the 700N-200. I'm Really disappointed. Its super stiff out the box. And doesn't feel like its good quality at all.
Send them back then, amazon will gladly refund you. But none of my pairs were ever stiff.
Good video I just picked up a wilton vise today USA made.
Thanks, and that's quite a find considering I haven't seen a USA made Wilton in a long time
Love them both
But how well do they cut 12/3 HCF MC?
How's the edge retention? Has the blade started to chip yet?
No sir it's has not, and the cutting blades are still sharp. It may take quite a bit longer to truly show how these will wear.
I see, thanks for the reply! Please do an update video once they have been used a bit more.
Hello Garrett hope all is going well for you brother
Yes sir, all is well, how about you?
@@GarnettTools i am living the dream living a nightmare
All is going good playing with estate sales loads of content coming soon
Damn, sounds awesome, never really been to an estate sale, how do you find them?
@@GarnettTools this one i found on kijiji it is a selling site you could maybe find them on Facebook marketplace look for estate sales content sales
This one they wanted some one to take all the tools they gave me a number and i told them by what i could see by the pictures i offered a little less and they said ok
But now they want me to take everything they sold the house i am going to do very well on this deal and i will have content for the next year at minimum to bad that things are so messed up
@@GarnettTools i think i am going to start putting things up on fbmp but i dont like messenger i dont have it on my phone
Although not be designed for cutting double strand barbed wire, how effective would they be on barbed wire?
Fujiya cuts better on soft metals, but when you intend to use them on nails and screw, Knipex is better
Good info. You need to hold the tool steady when showing it while talking.
Who is the US distributor of Victor? I've been looking around for their end nippers.
very great video love it thanku
What do you recommend for a "mini" flush cutter? I have a cheap one that I got from Menards and it works fine for cutting zip ties flush. But it is starting to wear out. You get what you pay for and I did. I want a good set that will last me another 15 or 20 years.
I have a set from fujiya and I'm releasing the video tomorrow on them. By far the best flush cuts I have ever used and it has a built in zip tie catcher so the cut portion doesn't fly off somewhere.

Depends on what you want. USA MADE? Pro America, channellock and Tronex. Wanna try foreign? Schmitz, Keiba, Knipex, Erem, Fujiya, Lindstrom. I have a Pro America pair that I've been running for a year now, but you may get a little shell shock when you look up the Tronex ones.
@@GarnettTools just ordered the Knipex 72 11 160 off Zoro. Thanks for the recommendations.
من الافضل استعمال knipex من نفس الحجم الاخرين
A lot of people like using Diagonal cutters to cut nails with them and I strongly recommend not to do that I ruined a pair of Diagonal cutters cutting nails always use mini bolt cutters whenever you’re cutting nails Diagonal cutters are specifically designed for cutting wire copper plastic stuff like that but not nails even though they might cut nails the blades will get damaged eventually if you keep doing it.
I am a jewelry designer & I’m looking for the best tapered head flush cutters. I’d be using these for cutting copper, sterling, gold, gold filled & craft wire. If I need to purchase more than one, for these kinds of wire, I’m fine with that. I’ve already spent hundreds of dollars in search of the right ones & sit here with cutters that don’t hold up for very long. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for inquiring, which brands have you already tried if I may ask?
Garnett-Tools Hi, I have Xuron, Italtec, Eurotool, Hakko, most of the cheap Harbor Freight & a couple others. I have a pair of $65 Lindstrom I ordered on the way, but I’ve heard from a few people that the tip breaks off. So, there you have it. I was tempted to try Wiha & stumbled on your video because I also need some cutters like the Fujia you showed, for copper 14g to 18g on occasion.
Garnett-Tools Does Fujia make a tapered head cutter?
@@jobywilkinson aside from the ones you have tried There's also these other brands to look into:
Pro-Amerca (made in USA)
Tronex (made in USA
Erem (made in switzerland)
Schmitz (made in germany)
All of these companies make tools for very fine work as you are describing, Although based on your experience, you may want to take a harder look at Tronex and Schmitz as those two additionally make fine cutters with tungsten carbide blades. But be warned, the Tronex are probably the most expensive I have ever come across.
Garnett-Tools Thank you so very much, will be ordering Tronex tonight!
Knipex should not be the standard for side cutters, linesman sure, but their side cutters bend at the handle rendering your squeeze effort useless
They are very expensive
Thanks for the time and effort. Decades in, I appreciate quality cutters. And I appreciate the obvious effort that went into building a video. You did a great job. Hell, I might even have bought another expendable HF set of dikes to give the employee, had it been the subject of your video.
That said, what the hell is it with so many tubers that want me to subscribe before I even know if I want to subscribe? Okay, that wasn't as much a question as it was a hint.
Anyway, about that leverage and navel to Mandarin oranges thing. . . .
I wouldn't call them 'pliers' ..I'd call them diagonal cutters. But great review!
Thanks and yeah I kept catching myself calling them that as I have some strange urge to call anything with dual opposing handles "pliers"
great video king thank u
compare old staff to new and knipex is different kind tool
@5:50 clean and grease the joint and your problem is solved :)
Meu sonho de consumo pena que não posso comprar
No warranty made me look else were…

I have a set of Craftsman box end wrenches from Japan, 1970's. A Craftsman needle nose pliers from France. A Black and Decker sander made in England and a Bosch sander made in Switzerland.
Never do this, hand not strong enough to cut? Put the head of the cutters in a bench vise! 🙁
Damn the secret is out. Better stock up on Amazon.
Your comparing basketballs to fish sticks, you been rocking them knipex for over 3 years... BUT I bet they do cut better because of the metallurgy. A warranty is an American thing because of the crap that people consume, if you want it be good put a warranty on it, its apart of the marketing. I'm sure if you call up fujia they'll send a new pair out if one has defects.
I only buy Klein and channel lock and Makita
Lame brands for tool noobs.
@@johnf817 How dare I buy Quality tools that have lasted me 15 years, tools that define a Profession, tools made In America, I must be an Idiot, no I buy them because they make a quality product and a Reasonable price.
@@johnf817 In fact, I don't know a damn Electrition I've worked with that does not use Kleins
@@bloodsongsToolreviews because its available at home depot and electrical supply stores...
And klein tools are good, I have some too. There are tool brand out there at dont mass produce like PB Swiss that have 10x the quality and engineering of Klein
Yes, The 'K' brands are GREAT tools, But shit - I would be lying if more than half the f*cking brands out there didn't do the same damn thing - thats why I tell dudes jus getting into any trade DON'T spend a lot of money on tools. I mean don't go to HF and buy the "keep-at-home DIY' set on the job, I mean you can spend HALF of the 'K' brands and still get GREAT tools - For example, Milwaukee, Crescent, DeWalt, Irwin, Chanellock, Greenlee, etc - All GREAT tool brands and tools! NO need to spend $52 on Lineman's Pliers when you can get the same pair (and maybe like them more) then those 'Holy K brands"
Tools of the world, indeed. I'd say African made tools and cars probably beat them all. I had a set (I forget the brand) but they read "Made in Uganda". Blew away Knipex as well. Do you review any from those regions here too?

Thanks, I've been turning to improve my camera skills for a long time now
They are pronounce Nipex.. the K is silent like in the word knight.
