I'd posted this before, but stock did not last long. These are basically a Japanese high quality copy of the Knipex Bowden cable cutters [amazon.com] which sell for $33, now. I know this about the "normal" price for these, but given what they are, the fact that they are Made in Japan by Tsunoda, and the Knipex version now sells for over $30 - I just think even at the regular price of $15, they're an outstanding deal.
  • Cutting Capacity : Iron wire rope φ0.16-inch (4mm) / Stainless wire rope φ0.12-inch (3mm)
  • Cutting wire rope cleanly, without becoming loose.
  • One-action unlock system loaded.
  • Ready to use with single grasping after taking up from the tool sack.
  • Made in Japan.​

They aren't a copy of the Knipex Bowden. Tsunoda manufactures them for Knipex.

Keep in mind that products which look identical and even come from the same factory can have different quality due to the age of the molds/dies that they use, different alloys of steel, machining processes, heat treating and level of quality control.

These things can't typically be seen by the consumer in new tools, but may show after months/years of use. That being said, unless there're some in-depth long-term reviews comparing the two, there's really no way for us plebes to know what differences there actually are, if any.

Aren't the Knipex 95 61 150 Bowden Cable Cutters made in Germany? Does Tsunoda have a factory in Germany?

The country of origin for the knipex bowden cutters are japan apparently according to the technical details. Wow learn something new everyday .I wouldn't be surprised if these are the same ones. Tsunoda is a quality brand.

Thanks Tots!

Went with the 9" model which at $25.86 was still less than half price
of a comparable Knipex version.
