I tell you these are a pair of handy sprue cutters. I definitely like the fact that these are spring loaded. Plus the fact the the blades are sharp this tool allows you to get pretty close to the piece without much excess and not much sanding required!

These sprue cutters were a LIFE SAVER for the plastic models I enjoy building! Spend the extra money and pick these up, as they are well worth it!

There is no better sprue cutter for this price. It is very sharp for a sprue cutter and cuts very flush in all plastic. With this cutter I can confidently cut right up to the plastic because it won't warp anything. If it cuts too deep, then I use like a milligram of putty to fill up something. It has a spring that will bring the cutter back to it's original position and the tension is just perfect for making tiny squeeze adjustments. There is nothing better than this.
