Cyclone Post Hole Pincer

The Cyclone Post Hole Pincer is a specialized heavy-duty digging tool designed for professional tradesmen and home gardeners. Explicitly labeled as 'Made in Japan,' this specific product utilizes high-grade Japanese steel for its scissor-action blades, which are engineered for superior strength and localized soil cutting. While this particular model is manufactured in Japan to leverage Japanese metallurgy, the Cyclone brand itself is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic hardware names.

Originally founded in 1898 in Melbourne as the Cyclone Fence & Gate Company by Leonard Chambers and William Thompson, the brand initially specialized in wire fencing. Over the following century, it expanded into a comprehensive range of garden and landscaping tools. In contemporary times, the brand's ownership has transitioned through several major corporations. It was part of the AMES Australasia portfolio and, as of 2026, it remains under the ultimate ownership of the American conglomerate Griffon Corporation. AMES Australasia continues to manage the brand locally from its headquarters in Victoria, overseeing a supply chain that mixes local Australian heritage with global manufacturing partnerships.
