The Jin tongs have a smaller, more pointed and curved head compared to the normal bonsai tongs. This makes them much more suitable for making deadwood sections (Jin and Shari) on the bonsai. The pliers fit well in the hand due to the recurved handle ends and the narrow design means that you can still work well with dense branching. Of course, you can also do wire work with the Jin pliers, but the head is a little thinner and not quite as robust as a normal pair of pliers.
