Tsunoda MEB-135, Photo Etched Parts Bender (Long-Flat Nose) 5.5-Inch

These pliers are very solid and work very well for bending photo etched parts. They are very solid and well made. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pair of pliers that just work for your modeling needs.

This is a tool you don't think you need but once you have it you say to yourself why didn't I get it earlier. This is a quality pair of Japanese precision pliers. I initially bought it for bending photo-etch parts but it's actually become a versatile tool. I use it to pick up small parts and bend thin brass rods.

I’m a fan of Tsunoda pliers in general and the smaller ones are no exception. I use these for building 3d metal models and find they work way better than tweezers. They are long enough in most cases for right angle bends, they fit well in the hand and the finish on the pliers is well done compared to less expensive other brands

I have several Tsunoda pliers, and they are all high quality tools. No hesitation in recommending them.

These pliers are quite nice and saved me quite a bit of money. I have used them for several madworks photo etch pieces that required bending and they worked beautifully. No marring of the metal and clean bends. However, I would prefer they were longer in the jaws it would be helpful for longer parts.

Built with incredible precision.

Good size for my project works good

Japanese made. Outstanding quality. Jaws close perfectly and flush. Jaw width is .035 at tips. Smaller than Tamiya's benders. Spring opening and comfortable grips. A must have for Photo etch bends. Great value also.
