    Outstanding. Cuts through sprues like butter

    These are great sprue snippers. Cut clean and are sharp 3 years later. Some have complained of the lack of durability, but I have not had that issue. I believe they are cutting plastic that is too thick or maybe wire. These are for cutting near the part being removed from the sprue. If I want to cut thicker plastic, I used my wire cutters. If you follow these rules, these nippers will last you a long time. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best side cutters for your plastic models for the price

    These cut through plastic frames like butter and leave a clean edge.I had been using cheap side cutters for several years, and they eventually lost their edge and started to chip, so I bought these on sale (like half off).They have a smaller rubber handle than my old ones, but still fit fine in the palm of my hand. If you have exceptionally large hands, they might be a bit small for you and you might want to try the Citadel ones or larger specialized ones.They're forged steel with a flat edge so you can cut relatively close to your model without leaving significant scarring, but I would still not cut them flush to harder plastic models. You're probably okay cutting pretty close to Bandai's plastics, as they're softer than those used by some other model companies, but it's still best to leave a little bit off the sprue left on the model so you can trim manually.They cut through GW, Parabellum and Bandai sprues with ease. I would not recommend using these on metal or 3d printed models (cast resin is usually softer than 3d printed UV resin, so that's ok to cut thin gates, not the thick ones though), and never use them on steel wire, they will likely chip or lose their edge way too fast. Not advised to cut through the frames themselves, just the gates, as I'm not sure what thickness they are designed for, but 4mm thick plastic might be a little much for them.

    Review #2Just wanted to give a quick update. Since my first review I went ahead and added Dspiae 3.0 nippers and USAGUNDAMSTORE nippers to my plastic model toolbox. Tamiya's nipper is best all around.GodHand SPN-120 is still the best but most fragile.USAGUNDAMSTORE's nipper probably comes in second for leaving the least amount of stress on the cut.DSPIAE 3.0 nippers I was very disappointed with. They are high quality and they even give you a leather tip protector that has a button to snap close to protect the blades but it's hard for me to get a flush cut with them for some reason. They cut as well as GH but the fact that I can get them to cut flush with the surface is aggravating.Review #1I have only had two other Nippers before I purchased this product. My first was a no name cheap pair that was purchased as a tool set for model building. Then I decided to purchase the coveted Godhand SPN-120. There is indeed quite a bit of difference between these two. The Godhand (GH) has a wayyy thinner tip, one bladed (think of it as a guillotine and a very short blade. Tamiya's nippers on the other hand have noticeably thicker blades, longer blade's (yes, that's plural) and blades that cut from each side. In our lives, more is typically better. However, when it comes to nippers, it rarely is.When comparing Tamiya nippers vs GH, ultimately GH has a cleaner cut, the exact same cut you'd have using an Hobby Knife . Regardless, it all comes down to how much you're willing to spend, your thoughts on how much of a stress mark you're willing to live with and how much you're willing to risk. I've seen GH nippers selling for $45 nowadays online. I purchased mine at $50. However, they are super easy to break (this is why I purchased these).If they would sell at around $40, I'd purchase them again. All nippers will leave a stress mark after a cut. Tamiya's nipper feels and without a doubt is much more durable. If you airbrush, having a high quality nipper isn't really a must have for you since you'll likely be sanding anyway and then painting over any stress mark. If you're doing just a straight build and have the patience to methodically cut with GH's so not to break the blade I'd recommend GH. Tamiya's nipper however is a workhorse, inexpensive, and much more durable.The verdict for me is to use these on models I plan on airbrushing and GH for models that are straight build. This will certainly lengthen the GH sharpness. I would reccomend Tamiya's nippers to anyone who is new to plastic model making as they are much more durable and half the price compared to GH.

    I love em for modeling but am trying to prolong their life by using them selectively. On large or less fragile parts I still use a pair of older zurons and a bit of sanding. I’m using these for those extremely fragile bits. One thing to be aware of is that the handles are not as grippy as they appear and I’ve almost dropped them several times. If you take a look at the blades you’ll see why they would probably not survive many falls.

    Elimde standart yan keskiden vardı. Fakat onunda model ağacına çok yakın olan parçaları kesmekte zorlanıyordum. En son yaptığım modelde de iyice uğraşmam gereken bir parça olduğundan sipariş verdim. Normal yan keskiye göre boyu da kesici ağzı da oldukça ufak. Ağız çok ince olduğundan da kesme işlemi çok iyi. Ayrıca ufak temizliklerde de kullanabilirsiniz.

    Mis dos primeros gundam los monté cortando con unos alicates de los chinos, porque me apetecía mucho empezar y no sabía dónde me metía. Os podéis imaginar el resultado. Los he ido puliendo después, pero ha llevado el doble de trabajo. Después de eso, me pillé un pack en Bolo por 15 euros que traía unos alicates, unas lijas y demás cosas, más o menos fue útil, mejoró la experiencia, pero no encontraba la perfección que buscaba. Así que me puse a investigar a fondo, a ver vídeos, comprobar cómo quedaba cuando lo hacía un profesional. Y casi todos decían lo mismo: GodHand o Tamiya.Bien, Tamiya es más barato y por tanto me decanté por este para probar la diferencia. Y sí... Cuando los alicates son buenos, cuando el corte es tan preciso, cuando cortar el plástico parece mantequilla, todo cambia, todo mejora.¿Lo recomiendo? Por supuesto, vas a notar la diferencia nada más usarlo, ya no podrás volver a otros. El corte es tan limpio y veloz que te ahorra muchísimo tiempo. Cierto es que 30 euros no son baratos y que te lo vas a pensar más de una vez, pero si tu idea es continuar con este hobby, no lo dudes, porque a la larga vas a ganar.
