Description

The GodHand SPN-120 Ultimate Nipper 5.0 specializes in gate cutting and pursues the "ultimate cut". Because of it's sharpness, it can obtain a smooth cut surface as if the cut had been made by a hobby knife. This cut minimizes whitening of the plastic, and the cutting marks are much cleaner than general nippers. The thin single-edged cutting blade design emphasizes sharpness. A guideline for cutting 3mm plastic is 2kg or less of force compared to 3.5kg-10kg for general nippers. Please only use these nippers for cutting plastic (PS resin, PP resin, ABS resin, and PE resin) 3mm and less. However, transparent/translucent PS resin is very hard and is not recommended to cut more than 1mm. Due to the design of the nippers, it is recommended the following: To not use excessive force when cutting. Cut as close to center of the blade as possible. Do not twist the blade while cutting or during releasing the blade. Do not cut if it doesn't fit within the length of the blade.

Ahhhhhhhh, WOW! I am beyond surprised.
I was very skeptical about these snips, but I was given an Amazon gift card for Christmas, so I decided to splurge on a really nice tool for my hobby and ordered the God Hands SPN-120 set which are intended for really fine cuts for part removal. Despite reviews I remained very skeptical as to whether or not they would prove to be any better than my Tamiya snips that I have used for years and am on my second pair of (the $40 fine tip version). I was so skeptical in fact that when the God Hands arrived I was very careful when removing them from the packaging, because if they weren't any better than the Tamiya snips then I had every intent to send them straight back to Amazon. Needless to say from the tone and title of this review, I will NOT be returning them. I removed them from the packaging, inspected them for manufacturing errors or damage, finding none I grabbed a sprue off my bench and sliced through the side runner. It was literally like a hot knife through butter. I was simply amazed, so I repeated the task a dozen times with the same results. Then I grabbed my Tamiya snips and cut the same sprue, it took at least twice the physical force to cut, and the end result was nowhere near as clean of a cut. Being the nerd that I am I took them both to my wife and had her use the Tamiya snips first, no problem, they worked as expected. Then I handed her the God Hands and had her do another cut; her response was "wow!". She then proceeded to cut the rest of the sprue into bits just because it is amazing how easy it is to do. Literally like as close to zero resistance as you can possibly get in a world subject to the laws of physics. I returned to my bench and made sure they performed as well on other brands of plastic, and in every case they cut easier and MUCH cleaner than the Tamiya snips did. Could it be that the Tamiya snips are a bit dull because of repeated use, sure; but I can without a doubt say they NEVER cut this smoothly, even on their first day out of the packaging. Will the God Hands hold up over time? No Idea. They seem to be built very well, they have a built-in stop to prevent them from opening too wide, and another to prevent you from squeezing them to hard, and they included a cover to protect the tips, but sure, they may dull over time and need to be sharpened or replaced. If that happens soon enough to me writing this review to be note worthy, then I will update the review, but for now I am simply amazed. So amazed that I decide to leave this review, and to even go the extra distance and include images to compare the two brands. The images may be grainy because they are very close images of a very small sprue, but you get the idea from them. The two with a 'T' written on them are the Tamiya snips, the three without are from the God Hands. I included head on pics as well as from the side which is better at showing how smooth the cut is. I will still use my Tamiya snips, after all they do a good job and we always need a set of snips for larger items or resin and the God Hand SPN-120s are intended for plastic only. But if the God Hands hold up then they will become a permanent tool on my bench. If you have a steady hand, and are accustomed to cutting your parts as close to the part as possible (like I do), then these will probably remove most all parts without the need for sanding. Yes, they are the most expense snips available, so they ought to work better than all others out there, but it was very nice to find that they do indeed perform as advertised. ... show more

Black magic at work
Hah... hah hah hah. HAHAHHAHA WOW. Holy smokes! So I have been building Warhammer models for almost a decade now and I have built somewhere over a thousand models. Who knows how many hours spent carefully snipping models from sprues, cleaning mold lines, and gluing them together. I know my way around a sprue. I recently received some Amazon gift cards and decided to treat myself to some new nippers as my old pair (Xuron) have been in steady use for many years and they got the job done... and they are fine, really, but I didn't have anything else I really NEEDED so I decided to splurge on these and see if there was really a $40 difference between standard nippers and God Hands. I was skeptical about how different these could possibly be over my old ones. I mean... they're flush cutters.. how big of a change could there possibly be? After opening the God Hands, I tried snipping a spare piece of sprue that I had lying around and. WTAF. I literally giggled at how smooth the cut was. It was completely effortless and silent. No "click" when the piece is cut... just a ridiculously clean slice. I pulled out my old snips and cut the sprue just to test them against each other. The old ones left obvious stress marks on the plastic from the pinching and made the familiar audible snapping sound when cutting through. The new God Hands nippers just slide through the plastic leaving no stress marks and making no sound. Its F-ing uncanny. Almost creepy how smooth and effortless. So. Yeah, I am sold. These things are so vastly superior to my old snips... even after a couple of test cuts, it is obvious that there is no going back. If you build models frequently, you need these things. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for in this case. Would buy again. 10/10 ... show more

“God Hand” would be considered an understatement!
Fantastic, they leave the smallest nub that is maybe .002” which is way easier to take care of than higher ones or pulled plastic/indentation from a cheap set. Takes a little getting used to as the jaws are shorter, so I’d suggest cutting high off the fixture and then final cutting with these when the part/piece is in your hand. Some final trimming and sanding is required with either your “hobby knife” or a sanding stick/file. These cut like “butter” such an effortless cut! I have attached a few pictures; one of the godhand and my citadel beginner ones that come with the starter sets. I have built and painted over 100 minis with the citadel ones and they are good enough to get started, you just have to take more time to finesse the final details. The other two pictures are of a flush “Final Cut” on one of the pieces that is part of the base for my Dante model. The left cut is the for hands and the right is the citadel. Left cut sat a hair high and the right cut is pulled/ divoted. Sanded flush and you can barely make out the shadow of the proud cut, can still see the divot. Would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for a quality tool to make the hobby that much more enjoyable. The appearance in machine quality matches what one would imagine when getting something manufactured in Japan, exquisite. The grip is smaller, but it is comfortable, use caution to not drop them if you have larger hands like I do! The leather pouch to protect the jaw and blade is of good quality. 10/10 would buy again. ... show more

Very satisfied
I had resisted buying a specific nipper for model kits for a while now. And I think I’ve gone through at least three pairs of $20-$30 off brand nippers. Do you have the most premium feel out of all the nippers I’ve used. Because every cop is very smooth it’s designed the function of the singular way and in that singular function there’s a lot less force put onto the plastic during the cut. Most nippers have a loud sound that they make when they cut into plastic, but these are almost virtually quiet. Actually the largest thing on it is the spring which is very quiet in itself. Though it is very important to follow the packaged instructions on how to use them as it would be very easy to break them and I would highly suggest for larger kits to have a second pair of nippers that could cut through the bigger gates before using this nipper to do the detail work. I forgot to mention the hobbyist company ordered this through they sent it very quickly actually so quickly I don’t have a kit to work on for a little bit and they gave me a sanding sponge so shout out to A-Z Toy Hobby. Everything I purchased with us had a premium feel, and with these nippers even the most old feeling plastic cuts clean. ... show more

It's a professional model making tool at a budget price.
I have been building models and using sprue cutters for 25 years. These are expensive and worth it. It cuts down sanding and shaping work tremendously. It is the only sprue nipper that I will ever use again. They are that good. The offset is the game changer. Most sprue and model tool I have used are mini shears or scissors basically. The offset cut and smaller size of these is great. I highly recommend and will buy again. ... show more

I'm a Believer... Believe the Hype
About half way through my first Gunpla build, nipping with entry level GodHand nippers, and working progressing sanding grits, I decided to see what all the hype is about. After the first nip, it was very clear why these are called the ultimate nippers. These slice through the runner as opposed to nipping it off, so it doesn't create any kind of stress mark on the piece. A lot of pieces don't even need follow up sanding after a pass with these, cutting down the build time considerably. I'd love the price to be lower, and for them to be less fragile, but like a good chef's knife, I think I'll get lot of use out of these nippers if used as recommended. ... show more

Super Clean Cuts, but require premeditation before cutting.
These are the best flush cuts I've ever used. The cut so precisely, accurately, and cleanly. The biggest thing you need to be aware of is the cutting blade. It has one tooth that does all the cutting and the other side is the flat side that completes the cut. They are designed for softer plastics so be aware of that. They can become damaged if used improperly. They are extremely pricey. I've seen them go for $100 at some shops, so if you can get them for $50 I think that is a decent deal. They do sell different variants of these that do specific cuts, so do your research and watch some YouTube videos for the criteria you're looking for. I do 1/100, 1/145, and 1/12 scale model kits and they work to perfection. I would do some practice cuts on similar plastics to ensure that is the cut you want. ... show more

Overrated junk
These are supposed to be a high end nipper and after cutting a few plastic 1/10 RC plastic pieces, they bent and then broke. I'm past the Amazon return policy so I'm out about ~55$. I'll stick with the Tamiya nippers, about half the price and aren't as brittle/weak.
