Title: KING TONY 6317-06 Long Nose Pliers 157mm & Made in Taiwan quality
Post by: Kiriakos GR on May 23, 2026, 11:56:07 AM
KING TONY 6317-06 Long Nose Pliers 157mm, this is another one specialty tool.
Made in Taiwan quality and origin.

Somewhere at the year 2022, KING TONY brand, this sourced best production of Taiwan, and added all these tools in to a single catalog.
KING TONY brand, this become an exporter, an active one, this now developing a sales network even within Europe.
Greek network this is now two years old.

Long Pliers this is a specialty tool.
Its for mission critical tasks only.

Once I made the mistake, using heavy duty combination pliers,  in combination with Long Nose Pliers narrow jaws.
And I killed my tool of Long Nose Pliers.  :P

Long Pliers this is a tool for extracting components, and or for placing back components.

This period of time, I decided getting an NEW replacement.  8)
The one that I killed it, this was 30 Years old, nice construction, Western Germany era.
For 9.60 Euro with VAT 24%,  I did find the BEST price - performance - quality.
You should consider this class of a tool, as this be heavy duty Fine Point Tweezers

Especially for our Greek readers, I have no better recommendation to make. ( https://ergaleiara.gr/home )
For our European readers, stay away from TME Poland.

This seems clearly looking as similar to KNIPEX 2505160.

KT 6317-06 this is similar but not equal design to KNIPEX 2505160.

KT 6317-06 this leaning more to electronics, specialty tool for repairs.
Thin and light weight, acceptable handle shape.
Not made of any Chinese low end alloy.

Kiriakos he is a verified Best deals detector.   ;D ;D

All correct observations, this KING TONY tool design has roots in Japan.

KNIPEX 2505160 this is regular EU design, for electrician installer's.


They are available Chinese  knockoff of mini Nose Pliers for 1.5 Euro its, their handle this spin around or getting off completely. :P

Do you plan inviting KING TONY marketing team at ITTSB?

Two years ago talked with their team at FB, they loved the idea, they seen as issue sample shipping costs from Taiwan.
Nowadays I contacted their Greek partner, I am unaware of what he will decide. 
Some one has to bare the advertising costs for Greece, and this is not me.

My new long nose pliers this came today, along with my entire order.   :)

Personally I do feel satisfied, I did confirm Made in Taiwan origin (carton blister).
For the price this is not inexpensive, but its not equal to no-name trash either.

About photographs, I will deliver from now and on, only useless for web marketing material.
