Cut-N-Jer | The Strongest Cutting Blade

2018/10/18

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Aren't there a ton of stink bugs?

Was it the first, second, or third phase of the Tokuyama Dam construction—some ten or so years ago now...?

There was a massive stink bug infestation at that time.

And, according to the news, there’s a massive outbreak nationwide? It’s a real problem.

Even here in Hokkaido, where I live, there are quite a few stink bugs at the site, and they’re sticking to the screens on my house.

That means...

This year...

A Feeling That Heavy Snow Is Coming

I don't have any evidence to back this up, but that's what the locals and people around me said.

Years with lots of stink bugs bring heavy snow!

So, I was at Tokuyama Dam, but I was stranded there for about a week because of heavy snow.

The road was cut off by snow—what a disaster!

Please be careful, everyone.

Heavy Snow: Stranded

But that's beside the point.

Apparently, a sales rep from "Kireru Njaa" visited my acquaintance's workshop, Wakazono Ironworks, the other day.

Do you all remember?

It's about to snap!

That's right, I previously conducted a cutting test using a cutting wheel, and...If you're cutting PC steel strands, this is the tool to useThat's it!

This is the cutting wheel that made that claim.

Cut-N-Jer Cutting Grinding Wheel

This is it. It cuts so well that I’ve switched all my cutting wheels to this one. And,Best Value for the MoneyThat's it.

It seems the sales team at that company is struggling because they're getting pushed out by products from major companies, lol.

Well, to be honest, this packaging is a bit iffy, and the name isn't great either...

I don't think there are many artisans who make you think, "I want to buy this!"

At this point, word of mouth is really the only option left, and it takes quite a while.

 

I'm rooting for you! In fact, I've bought and used a ton of them myself.

It's still a huge hit in Hokkaido right now! The trash can is full of leftover Njaa pieces, lol.

Well, just go ahead and buy it—even if you think you’re being tricked.

PC wire or rebar would work too, but this offers unbeatable sharpness and great value for the price.

Well, if we're just talking about sharpness, it's got to be the Delta Cut.

Please take a look at the historical data.

The Challenger of the Cutting Wheel (Part 3)

This is the blade for cutting PC steel wire!

As a result, affordable, high-quality products do sell, but the brand is just too obscure...

The reality is that there are still relatively few places that sell Kireru-Nja.

For slope stabilization work, Fujiwara Sangyo in Osaka handles it, so please feel free to contact them.

 

By the way, Wakazono Seisakusho is also conducting tests on various cutting wheels, so please take a look.

We're a small, struggling company, too. That's exactly why we want to support companies that are working hard!

I share products that I’ve actually used and love. I’ll keep introducing great products and tools in the future, too!

 

See you later.

Hello, everyone. I’m Enta. I’ve been driving for about three hours, thinking to myself, “Isn’t the distance we slope workers travel just crazy?” so I figured I’d write about it lol. Our sense of distance is out of sync with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, a one-hour commute by car…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I came across a job site where there were fine cracks in the joints of the retaining wall.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”
