I just purchased a pair of Klein tie tensioners, you feed the tie end through the tool and squeeze the trigger until you get a tension you like, then pull a secondary handle to snip them. I think I paid 32 dollars for them, but these are making me second guess my purchase now lol. I know you mentioned that the ones you had used previously were a few hundred dollars and I believe that's why I never bought them, last time I checked I swear they were like 80 or so for questionable ones, but I was willing to risk it for the Klein ones. I'm not sure why they've suddenly become affordable, but I guess if I don't find them to be sufficient I will keep these Tsunodas in mind. I love buying tools made in USA, Japan, Germany, even Spain... if I can avoid a Chinese, Taiwanese, or Indian tool I typically do. Likely the Klein ones will be made in China, and while typically Chinese and Taiwanese tools can be quality pieces (heck the tool truck brands make most of their equipment in China and Taiwan now) I still prefer to support companies willing to make tools in the previously mentioned places. I have a few tools from more interesting places, Belarus, Canada, maybe a few others I'm forgetting. Always tickles my fancy to see something like that.
Did the pliers age well especially the sharpness? I'm planning on getting a pair of the more expensive nippers Tsunoda has, and I'd like to know if the quality lives up to the price
Hello! Yes, they’ve held up VERY well. They’re still razor sharp. You have to be careful not to run your finger along the cutting edge, or they will cut you. You also have to be disciplined enough not to cut anything but zip ties with them. After 5 months, they’re holding up well.
I can't vouch for the quality, but if you search online for metal tie tensioner you can find a pair that says it will tension stainless ties as well as cut them. I use the metal ties more often than the plastic honestly, I live in Florida so anything I use a tie on outside gets the stainless as the plastic ones become brittle in less than a year, but I haven't bought a pair of them to try. I'm a bit skeptical of how well they would work, but there are a few options with fairly decent reviews.

Nothing a pair of linemen's or duckbill pliers and a flush cutter wouldn't do, but it does save you from carrying an extra tool.
Quick and informative, just what I was looking for, thanks. 🙂
Adding one of these to the tool bag.
Sub’d. It’s good to see another low voltage RUclips channel. Not many of us around. Good job.
Thanks!

I never knew I needed this! Thanks!
My Pleasure!
They make a KBN-125 now which are spring loaded, check them out!
Great vid
Keep up the good work man
Layken Walls Appreciate you!
👍
🔥🔥🔥🍻
Would these work well for cutting off the cable ties? I need something that can get into tight spaces and cut them off as well.
Well, seeing as that is what they’re designed for, I would say yes, they’ll cut the cable ties.
great video man. Thanks
Thank you sir!
Hi Scott. Would you recommend them ?
Have you tried other Japanese tools brands
I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them. Yes, I own other Japanese tools. I own some Engineer pliers, and some Vessel screwdrivers.
@@scottstoolthoughts3190 thanks Scott . 👏👊

Scott’s Tool Thoughts Hey, thanks for the quick reply. I'm sure I'll be getting a pair then 👌
Would these cut metal ties?
No sir. Plastic only.

Maravilhoso pena não poder comprar.
Good tool have you a tool model number
KBN-150, I looked the tool up and that's what the listing says. Also I can read it stamped on the tool in the video, so I'm fairly certain.
