These work and work well!
Style: Single
Excellent! Worth every cent! These cutters allow me to remove fine items from the sprue with no twisting or damage. I no longer hold my breath not knowing if my cut will cause damage or not. I can also now trim right up to the item which has saved me time by not have to carefully trim the excess with a knife. ... show more

The best of the best!
Style: Single
After years of using this and different sprue cutters, I can honestly say that this one is the best and worth the money. The quality is top notch and it’s easy to use and cuts wonderfully. I almost never have to sand after using these. To me, the weight is excellent and allows for use after use and is very easy to articulate into those small areas we love so very much. I’d buy these again before buying any other brand out there. Happy cutting! ... show more

Expensive but it works
Style: Single
Every plastic modeler needs a nice pair of "nippers" or "sprue cutters". Some of us are lucky enough to have several cutters built for different purposes. The noted Japanese model company Tamiya has issued several high-quality modeling tools. Among these tools is a fine-blade sprue cutter, reviewed here. This cutter is a fine tool, sharp, and easy to use. There is always a downside in life and regarding this tool, the downsides are cost and sturdiness. Anything with the Tamiya name tends to cost more and these cutters are no exception. They are among the most expensive cutters available to modelers, but they ARE well made and have nice clean cutting action. These cutters have very fine, sharp blades which means that they are not necessarily your primary cutter. Using these on heavy plastic parts and thick connecting sprues may lead to the fine tips of the blades breaking off (that happened to my first pair of Tamiya cutters even with careful use). Use a pair of cheaper general purpose cutters for larger cuts. The Tamiya cutters are best for small sprues and for removing small parts from the "tree". NEVER use these cutters on anything other than plastic! There are cheaper cutters that are actually better for wire and metal parts. So, like many fine tools, the Tamiya cutters are really good at what they are designed to do, but misuse will lead to dulling and breakage. I am very glad I have these to back up my heavier cutters. A handy addition to a modeler's tool box. ... show more

Tamiya Nippers
Style: Single
These nippers are good for removing parts from the runners because of the sharp, needle nose mold. The bottom angle isn't as close to the edge as a Godhand nipper, but it's pretty close. You can have a easy time removing nubs with these. Cut inbetween the extension from the runner, lay the nippers flat on the surface, and cut the rest of the nub; keeping the nippers as flat as you can. If there's still more nub left, you can use an X-acto knife to scrap it away, use another kind of knife to cut it away, or use sand paper to file the nub down. ... show more

Sharp, sharp, sharp

Sharp, light and precise. Kinda pricey but about the best nippers I've used. I use them for cleaning up 3D plastic prints and it slices right through.

Workhorse. Best value on the market.

Review #2 Just 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 #1 I 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. ... show more
