TAMIYA America, Inc Bending Pliers-Photo Etched Parts, TAM74067

Tamiya bending pliers (item 74067) made for photo-etched parts. A hand tool alternative to plate-style benders, suited to quick single folds on small etched pieces without setting up a workstation.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Purpose-made for photo-etched parts according to the listing, not general-purpose pliers
  • + Hand tool format needs no bench space or clamping setup, unlike the plate-style benders here
  • + From Tamiya with a clear item number, 74067, which makes the exact tool easy to identify

Trade-offs

  • - The listing gives no jaw width or tool length, only package size and a 91 g package weight
  • - Pliers fold one section at a time and have no clamping plate to hold a long part square
