Interesting design from Tsunoda

Cool new slip joint design from Tsunoda.

Jaws are a bit narrower vs the old design but, also feel much lighter.

New pliers have three slot design similar to Snap-On and Knipex models which allows then to grip larger bolts and etc.

New design has recessed pivot point making them even narrower.

New design only comes in bare metal handles. Personally I've always preferred the traditional plastic dipped handle, never tried bare metal.

The most interesting design and only original/new aspect though is the curved jaws. They're meant to grip in the middle of bolts so you didn't round the corners and help gripping angles in general. Never seen that before, will be interesting to see how it works out in real world use.

NBA Season Awards?

I know we still have some games left today but, I thought we could have a single thread for all the yearly awards.

Let's try nominate a player by adding the players name, stats, and maybe your take below each award ? That way most upvotes wins? I'll make sure to send the first annual "LEMMY NBA AWARDS WINNERS" trophies to the NBA league office so they can get them to the appropriate players LMAO.

Feel free to add any awards I missed/you what to discuss or make your up own lol
