Japanese Combination Pliers

I think there was some praise for KTC tools in the GJ Japanese tool thread but I don't read that forum anymore and it's been over a year since I did so I may be wrong. It does look like a pretty interesting design, the Japanese seem to be very good at innovating hand tools.

Those look wicked nice i just bought the nws made in Germany Irwin pistol grip pliers and compound leverage cutters today and I love them the cutters cut so smooth you don't feel the snap from cutting wires, I just had to try them after seeing the guys do a review on them. I'm a hardcore Klein and snap on guy when it comes to pliers but I'm wanting to try out the German stuff now, but I have sooomany pliers. Vampire tools sent me thier entire line to try out and give feed back on and I can't say I'm impressed with any of it, all the scissors and pliers have a cheapo feel to them but they grip screws great just the teeth don't last long. Ideal sent a  pair of red white and blue wire stripper,cutter,crimpers to me as a gift they are alright but nothing compared to my Klein and snap ons of the same type. The Japanese make awesome tools i just bought a now liken 3/8 socket set on ebay I can't wait to receive them .

I have the Engineer pliers (Vamplier's OEM). I find the teeth super strong, if there's a stripped screw that isn't recessed, it's the first thing I grab...and I've yet to grab a second thing.
