    Basic Tools of the Trade - #4

    #4: Pliers

    Highly valuable for shaping and squeezing certain parts of your bonsai in place, the pliers are also designed to handle jobs involving wiring. This material comes in a variety of shapes and sizes though, but there is only one main form that both beginners and master bonsai enthusiasts should carry – the Jin pliers.

    The Jin pliers are highly durable tools built with a medium grade quality. It is strong and easy to use and handle, unlike those larger pliers you probably have collected before. This product is often designed a gripping and lengthy mouth, making it highly capable of handling tear wood. Well, the main purpose behind the production of jin pliers is to provide bonsais the popular effect known in the field as dead wood, which simply involves the tearing of barks and wood for that drying wood effect. This effect is deemed important for every bonsai since it gives your tree a sense of age.

    The good thing to know about the jin pliers is that unlike the larger options available out there on the market, this particular type of pliers is not only easy to handle, but also easy to care. In fact, it doesn’t require much care and attention from the holder, except cleaning or wiping it after use. You can also incorporate greasing on its joints though to further make the work easier and quicker. But, if you want to prefer a tight squeeze, then never mind about greasing. Just focus on your work and make sure that you wipe your jin pliers clean after use.
