I'm Japanese. The proper pronunciation for Tsunoda is broken down into three syllables: tsu-no-da.
Tsu is like saying "su" in Sue with but also touching upper front teeth with your tongue
No is like the short version of the English "no"
Da is like "mama" but with a D
was the pronounciation bad? i listened to it back to back with the recording on forvo and only detect a tiny difference
@@markifi Tsunoda is the same name as ruclips.net/video/qljb-6j9uNY/видео.html
looking at Tsunoda's website the black version is the thin one, they also made just a regular 3 slot slip joint plier in the same style in 2 length 150 and 200 (PLC-150 and PLC-200)
of course they advertised as they are all holding pliers due to the geometry of the teeth in question
I ordered the chrome regular ones in 150mm yesterday.
Doc, could be an interesting survey of viewers - pick 3-5 tools, and ask what people would choose if they could only have one tool. My list: 1) Kbar style of knife, 2) Hatchet/Mallet combo, 3) Snap-on® 3 pivot combos, 4) spoon & bowl, 5) Cold chisel, very hard.
I don't think many of the audience demographic could even imagine having 3-5 tools 😮
@@aussiehardwood6196 Fair point. Take the brand names out, and I bet over a few months most people could buy all five for under $50 used
Never seen or heard of these! Take my money 💰 please!
I just ordered one. Yes, “ultra thin” is very useful, particularly when installing castor wheels that use screws instead of plates. For some indescribable reason, the nut is very thin and partly hidden by the bearing assembly below. Hopefully this will make it easier. Otherwise I resort to making my own wrenches out of 1095 metal used for knife making and gardening/tempering them. That’s a pain and every wheel set I buy seems to have a different size nut.
I’ve seen several Japanese pliers without dipped or covered handles. I really like Japanese built tools and other products they use good quality steel and have good products. Their quality is nothing like china, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc. they’re more in line with us, Germany, Sweden and some of the others that produce really good products.
I wish Swedish tools were easier to get in the States. I've heard nothing but good things and IMO Nordic engineering is criminally underrated.
Interesting, great that it is plastic free too!
I have a good selection of Tsunoda hand tools, they are excellent.
Never seen a pair, but Knipex makes similar thin jaw 'cycle' pliers... the 84 21 200 and 84 11 200.
They 'might' be available with other grips.
0:35.. that's correct Doc... 👍
The Snap-on triple joint pliers allow you to get closer to one side with a handles
needed a channel like this! The 'u' is almost silent, it should be pronounced more like 'Tsnowduh'. The ts is like the z in pizza and the u is almost not there.
The middle position on the Snap-On LN46 lines up perfectly for pulling fuses at the cutout.
I have those Snap-on gray riveted pliers in large and small locking needle nose. They kinda suck but are still better than any other locking needle nose I've tried.
Im impressed by my Tsunoda pliers of all types. Very well made for their price.
there does seem to be a lot of interesting hand tools in Japan. These pliers and the straight version would be great for working on some bicycle components.
Awesome review Doc, you’re costing me more money 😂
If you want to cover the handle put a few layers of electrical heat shrink on, get it in most colours, the type with glue inside works best.
Oh wow thanks for testing out the wire cutters Doc. Slip joints are my main drivers and the wire cutters are pretty useful for what I do. Some of the modern ones don't really do great job at cutting wires. Which is why I prefer the old school ones with dedicated cutters. I got 2 Made in America Crescents no. 923-7 and they're my favorites slip joints so far
I like those. I purchased their soft jaw slip joint pliers for Christmas.
Thank you for pointing out the Snap On plier middle position and how it actually does line up in a "working" position.
I really like that narrow jaw adjustable wrench. I need to find me one. I have a old Snap On plier without any coating on the handle. I bought it new in the 70s like that. I seem to grab them the most.
You could get the red replacement Klein-Grips. May fit.
Hi there, that plier is for electrical cabinets where you need a plier to tighten cable entry’s with those 2.5 mm thin nuts and pulling stuff.
They're not specifically for that. They don't even mention electrical cabinets on the packaging or anything. They market them for wherever you might need a thin tool, and have 3 positions as well as a curve to the outer jaw to make sure you can always get a decent grab.
Ok
Well that was my first thoughts when I saw that plier.
Good video Doc. Funny enough, we must both prowl the jungle website, I ordered the chrome 150mm regular version of these yesterday. Snap-on’s patent on three holes expired a couple years ago or so. As far as Japanese pliers, I have been very happy with the tsunoda pliers and have built a collection, and particularly find the slip joint pliers to be good (I have the 200mm chrome ones with the offset head and the small and large yellow dipped ones). Another one I like that looks and feels like it might be too flimsy but is actually not is the fujiya lightweight 165mm slip joints. It rides in my small knipex pouch with some cobras, a screwdriver, and 6in adjustable wrench.
Snapon never had a patent on having 3 holes in a slip joint. Plenty of prior art, like Wilde who had 3 holes in their initial product offering in the 1930s, before Snap-on even made their own pliers.
The patent is for a tactile feedback mechanism inside the pivot.
The 49ACF is a monster Kronker.
Extremely useful.
TSU-NO-DA. It's that simple. the o sounds like an o and the a sounds like an a. the hardest part is the ts sound. most people just drop the t altogether.
If you're looking at japanese pliers, would love to hear your thoughts on the Itoarashi/Igarashi IPS SF-165G Plastic Trigger pliers
I have then, 200mm version. They're interesting because the handle invites you to use it like a pistol grip but the offset isn't so far off that using it the "normal" way would feel awkward.
Middle position doesn't have spring action, outer 2 positions do. They use this same spring mechanism in some other stuff, it's built into the pivot.
Bahco also has adjustable wrenches with thin jaws.
If you want to have some fun take a pair of 11 inch long nose 20 degree offset pliers then take a small chainsaw file and about 3/8 or 7/16 from the tip put a little Groove in them then try to pick up something
I did the Plasti-dip on a couple of my Dad's tools that were from the 50's. It seemed like a good idea at the time but I regret doing that.
Knipex makes a similar pair of these just no slip joint (84 21 200). I'm a big fan of Tsunoda though, arguably the best bang for buck pliers out there in terms of quality to price. Their zip tie pliers are fantastic as well.
I wonder? Maybe a Pliers Wrench, Ultra-Thin would be something that would have a place.
You were speaking of not being able to replace grips….Klein sells really good grips that work on other manufacturers. They are called Klein kotes
I bet the black tool with uncoated handles is meant to look like the traditional japaning finish.
Harry J. Epstein has Wilde versions of these, double joint, made in the USA for $6.00 uncoated, $8.95 red coated handles. Both are straight.
Could those pliers substitute for cone wrenches on bike wheels?
hey Doc could you give us a thickness on those jaws please? Thanks!
They taper from 2.5mm at the tip to 4mm at the first bend.
Channellock 6SWCB 6" CODE BLUE WIDEAZZ Adjustable Wrench. I use it every day at work as an industrial electrical and automation technician. These are on my wishlist. I have been digging Japanese tools after I bought some Vessel screwdrivers. Really looking forward to getting more from them as well as Tsunoda, Fujiya, Koken, Utoku, and Asahi.
tsunoda yellow dipped handles are tacky feeling
So no duh.
People still buy slip joint pliers?
Yes, those Snap-On 3 pivot slip joints like the 49ACF are great!
They also now make long nose slip joints... like the LN47ACF & LN46ACF... which are the best pliers to come along in eons; exceptionally useful... especially the 47's.
@@rwbishop cobra > slip joint
@@justinoff1 its just the same idea just different in their execution
@@justinoff1 cobra = slip joint
@@justinoff1ah you aren’t a professional lol. My plier drawer is stacked with knipex. It’s also stacked with snappy and other quality pliers. Sometimes you need that 90ish from the cobra. Sometimes you don’t.
