P.I.T.5.5 INCH Gundam Nipper with Non-Slip Grip, Sprue Cutter Hobby Nippers for Plastic Gunpla Model Building

I was skeptical that these would add value vs a standard set of nippers. Unironcially, if you build plastic models - gundom, wargames, historical - get these. they cut things from the sprue so much more cleanly that it saves you several minitues of cleanup per part. The first sprue you trim with these you'll be like "whoa, I was screwing up not getting these sooner"As a word of warning: they're very fine. you can't use them for misc. pliers or on pewter models. You'll still want your regular set for certain large parts or the big, thick part of sprue.Basically these are a perfect tool for the specific task of trimming plastic model parts.If you do other things with them and use them as "general" snips on things like wire you will probably damage them - the blade is very fine.I attached a picture of a 28 mm infantry scale weapon (pretty small part), it's a 40k gun drone gun if you want to look it up for scale)The FRONT burr, on the barrel side, is from my OLD clippers. the back burr, the one you literally cannot see, is from this product.Get these, take care of them, sue them for what they're for and don't beat them up and you won't regret the spend.

Nice quality for the price

I needed a new nippers for my modeling. I was quite surprised that this one cut very close without much sanding. It fits in my hand comfortably and the quality for the price impressed me. Good buy.

Update: skip the “ordinary” and get the “basic”. It comes in new and different packaging and cuts smooth. Really good pair of affordable nippersOriginal review for ordinary model: I ordered 2 and both were defective. Both had scratches and dents even though they were supposed to be new. The first one had what looked like glue/ epoxy one one of the grips and near the hinge area. The second one had a dent in the blade. Will be ordering the “basic” model to see if it fairs better than the “ordinary” model

Ideal para modelos, la compré hace un año y todavía luce y corta como si estuviera nueva.

Agree with another reviewer. Economy is the way to go. Price is great and they are sharp and do a great job

Worth every penny.

I got these to see if they would even be close to GodHand SPN-120 and if I could make do with them. They are fairly sharp but not as smooth as my 2-year-old God Hand 120. To be clear I have used my SPN-120s to buiId over 300 40k minis in the 2 years I have owned them and they still cut cleaner than these. I know they are half the price but just spend the money and get the God Hand nippers.
