Jin Pliers are great for use with bonsai wire either for applying or removing wire from trunks and branches. Jin pliers can also be used to create an aging or deadwood effect on a bonsai tree by stripping the bark of the tree to create a Jin or Shari. Another useful tool is using it to bend thick branches. By using two pliers to grab the wire, you can twist and maneuver a branch much more easily than with your bare hands. Stainless steel construction. Jin plier measures approximately 8 inches. Made in China.
