I picked up a number of Tsunodas on a recent trip to Asia. As expected of made in Japan tools, the quality, fit and finish is top notch. I used to try to buy German hand tools when the price is within 20% of its American branded made in PRC counterparts, but now that Japanese brands that are made in Japan have slowly trickled into the US market at retail prices the same or lower than offshored domestics, I don't have to wait for an SD alert to pull the trigger.

In terms of this deal, I sort of like the WC-200's spring mechanism better. I don't see that telescoping steel sheathed style too often. The Knipex mini cobolt cutters have it.

I think you're joking, but... no. my quick read is not for the one you linked. Your link shows a 8mm cable and these are rated to 3mm stainless.

I was curious so quick searching you'd need something like this which is rated to 1/2" (~12mm): https://www.amazon.com/Tsunoda-WC-450-Wire-Cutter-Steel/dp/B002RDDM58/ [amazon.com]

These one handed wire cutters have a limited capacity. The largest 9" model can only do 6mm steel and 5mm SS. The bike lock states 8mm wire (~7mm minus the vinyl coating). It'll probably work but the finagling might not be as quick or discrete as your friend would like. He/she may want to stick w the two-handed bolt cutter and trench coat.

take a look at the spring on this sale model vs newer models. not sure which i'd rather but they likely updated that design for a reason.

It all depends on how determined you, or your friend are.

Tell your buddy he's better off with a small band saw like the m12 fuel. It may not be as quiet as he needs but he can cut through almost anything you can fit in the "fence/jaws" area

would you guys say that the longest handle version of this tool is bad deal? seem like longer handles will only make the cutting easier w/ extra leverage. seems like user would still have the option of cutting with one hand, or using two hands on the handles for extra power?

ETA: the one designated 9" is the only won that has prime shipping, that means it's shipping from an amazon warehouse in the USA, should be a week or more faster to receive the tool

It's all influencing and the influenced.

This is slightly above normal price, and how many people here could possibly actually need one of these anyway? But it's +20 right now because OMG it's Japanese!

As a commercial overhead door mechanic i will have to try these in the 9 inch version. Felco c7 are like $65 and of course they wear out eventually as i cut cable (wire rope) all the time. Ive been jus using a longer dual handle version for awhile cuz i was tired of buying the handhelds at their $65 price. A lot of the cheaper ones will cut but quickly start fraying every cut and then your struggling to get the fittings on. Hopefully these work better like the felco for less then half the price.
