Shaping Tools
Jin Pliers - Ideal for making Jin and Shari on Bonsai. It does this by nibbling or stripping away at the branched to be made into a Jin. This Tool however has many more uses, from wire tying and un-winding.
Bending Jacks – Helps to slowly and gradually bend those thick and stubborn branches.
Wire Cutters (YATTOKO) - This specially designed tool cuts wire close to bark with minimal damage to the bark. Use wire cutters to cut away wire from the branches as this minimises damage to the cambium and delicate leaf bud. 
Branch Splitters - Used for splitting heavy Bonsai branches along the length of the branch, in two or more layers, making the branch more pliable and hence easier to reposition. It is also and an invaluable tool for deadwood creation and can be used to eke out large bits of wood, which is pulled out with care can leave a highly desirable natural tear look.
