JimboS1ice Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Stumbled across these, pretty cool design for a standard adjustable plier http://www.ebay.com/itm/KTC-COMBINATION-PLIERS-SOFT-GRIP-TYPE-PJ-150-PJ150-PJ-150-S-New-Japan/152128462903?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3Da77c7af94892455ba560b930a6880ff2%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D272245754247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekTheToolGuy Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
