Tsunoda, PL-200, Slip Joint Pliers (8-Inch)

The machining and finishing on these are incredible and absolutely flawless. The teeth in the jaws are precise and sharp, the pivot pin is nicely finished and looks to be very durable as well. Compared to my SK slip joints, these win in every area except for slop but the SK uses a screw so you can adjust the slop as opposed to a rivet pin. One thing to keep in mind is that these have a cutter vs most others that don't, the cutter takes up a good area of the jaws so the pivot point is further down compared to non-cutting ones, this design decreases leverage so these are not a high leverage design due to the cutter. The amount of slop is about average, not great but not the worse I've seen but again, $12. I dont know how they can precisely forge and machine this, give it an amazing finish and sell it at $12. This has to be a budget king tool, you wont find anything else this nice at this price.The only negative is the PVC handles, they're a bit tacky but an argument can be made that it provides better grip so I'll leave that up to preference.

Terrific quality. I bought based on Project Farm's reviews and can see exactly why it was ranked close to the top. Should last a long time.

I am thankful for independent and unbiased reviews of products. Without them, online shopping would not be possible. With that said, when looking to replace several sets of piers, I stumbled upon a video review by Project Farm that showed this set of piers performing the best. Based on the credibility of Project Farm, I ordered several different sets of Tsunoda pliers and was not disappointed. I am thankful to Project Farm for pointing me in the right direction, and I am thankful to Tsunoda for making a quality product at an affordable price point.

The quality of this tool is such a contrast from the usual quality of tools from china it is jarring to the senses. It even puts US made tools from Craftsman, cresent, channel lock, Mac or any of the other higher quality producers (wera, knipex ect) The finish is flawless, the movement is fluid with no spots in the pivot that bind and need to be worn in. It feels solid but not overly heavy or cumbersome. I almost feel like it should be in a display case rather than a tool drawer. I had a long wait for this from the beginning of October until today, but it was well worth the wait.I am really impressed with this tool.

Nicely made, well put together, and attractive. Similar to my 80's craftsman in quality and chrome plating, but maybe a bit better machined. Slightly slimmer though. Good value, and not made in PRC if that's important to you.

Nicely finished, well-priced, oversized, household style slip joint plier that operates smoothly. Quality and performance of this plier is comparable to a trade or industrial tool.

Worth the money.

This plier was featured on Project Farm video with great recommendation. I concur it is well constructed with solid, strong grip at great price.

Very well made pair of slip joint pliers. Jaws close evenly. Rivet slides very smoothly for easy adjustment between the two openings without any extra play or looseness. Quality made in Japan craftsmanship.

I'm a electrician by trade so these are getting significant use. These pliers are outstanding for the price, they aren't geared up for screw extraction like the knipex models, but they offer a solid grip on anything you want to hold, have a cutting action capable of shearing off m3.5 screws, and are very useful as a smaller more portable version of grips for making off glands etc.Highly reccomended

Sono rimasto un po' deluso la pinza non è marchiata Tsunoda ma DIY è non sono nemmeno sicuro che sia made in Japan

Unbelievable quality for the price. Slip joints are very handy.

当方修理やって40年、メインのプライヤーはS-on47でしたがそれを超えたと言えるでしょう。
