Sprue Nipper

Great smooth and flush cutting.. Now these are my first sprue cutters and I went on the cheaper side with worries but got what I expected totally.. durable plastic handles and steel cut tool. Later this year I will invest in the tamiya pair but these are great starting sprue cutters for new studio or workshops

This cuts close to the sprue. It makes removing parts easy, without the need for a lot of cleanup.

I bought these to replace a pair of Tamiya nippers that came in a 'modeller's kit' with a file, screwdrivers, knife, etc. These do not cut as crisply as those did. They also are larger, making it more difficult to get into tight spaces on sprue to disconnect pieces. That said, they do work and have kept their sharp cutting edge across a couple of models. They seem well made. The thick handle padding is also appreciated. The price was also far less than it would have been to re-order the Tamiya set with the nippers!
