Our Story

Established in 1968, our company proudly produces and dispatches around 1.8 million metal cutting saws and machine blades annually. Our primary clientele includes professional artisans like plumbers, electricians, and waterworks specialists, but we also cater to general users through hardware stores and online platforms. In alignment with the emerging trend of DIY enthusiasts, particularly among women, we conceptualized and birthed a product encapsulating the essence ""From tool box to living room."" Our vision was to craft a saw so aesthetically pleasing that it wouldn't seem amiss in a living space or kitchen. We designed the grip to comfortably fit the hands of women and children. Additionally, our focus was on ensuring it was safe to store and transport. Despite its elegant design, the blade boasts professional-grade specifications, adept at cutting a plethora of materials, from metals like aluminum to plastics, resins, and wood. Now, items like old steel shelves, wardrobes, toys, or rusted poles can be efficiently resized for easier, cost-effective disposal. Moreover, our unique blade attachment mechanism, which doesn't rely on screws, has been patented. This product has garnered numerous accolades, including one from the Japanese Minister for Economy, Trade and Industry. We also partner with major hardware stores, mass merchandisers, and department stores both domestically and internationally for OEM engagements across varied products. For further details, don't hesitate to reach out. Our customers have often extolled our products, showering us with 5-star reviews on our e-commerce platform. (Example reviews: A part of our clothes rack was broken, so we bought it to cut the metal into smaller pieces and dispose of it. The poles were quite sturdy, but they were cut cleanly. I checked the blade after cutting several poles and did not see any damage. I guess it depends on the thickness of the metal, but I did not have to exert that much force to cut them. I am satisfied with the product. Given that the cover uses a button mechanism, I believe it's safe. /I was able to easily cut the plastic frame of our kotatsu table (a kind of table with a heating unit), which had been neglected for years. I felt very relieved. /Because the saw is so compact and lightweight, I did not expect it to be so easy to use and to cut so sharply. I am glad I bought it because it is very convenient to have. /The saw is so compact, yet it has excellent sharpness. It is indeed made in Japan. Hats off to a product that even a girl can easily carry.)
