Nip the tip nippers
I haven't fully used these yet but in my trials of cutting very small gauge wire and some thin plastic I have to say I'm impressed. As a born again modeler I figured I would try out some of the tools the advanced fellas are using. So far so good. I can see these being used for multiple options besides just scale modelling. On a side note, I was surprised to see that these are spring loaded as it wasn't mentioned in the description. Not really a spring as much as it's a piece of thick wire but better than nothing and having the handles flop around.
Xuron 410A Ultra Close Cutting Shear
The Xuron 410A Ultra Close Cutting Shear is a durable long lasting product. This tool has full length orange rubberized grips and a high quality spring loaded hinge mechanism with stainless steel components. A good set of Cutting shears is essential for successful plastic model building. I have used this tool over 15 years for that purpose and it consistently performs well. The price point on this item still makes this product an excellent value that will last many years. An investment in this tool is money well spent.
Not the best cutters.
I bought these shears for the price. Well, I got what I paid for. There are some good points, they are sharp, and comfortable to use. The big problem with mine is the spring that keeps the jaws open wore out after two or three models. They still work, but without the spring to return the jaws open, it makes it hard on the old hand. I will be investing in a better pair.
Good
These cutters do what they supposed to do is cut plastic model parts . I would Not recommend it to cut wire It will dull up these sprue cutters and you will be getting flying missiles when cutting model parts off the sprue tree so no it is for plastic model parts only . Overall great cutting tool .
Great cutters, most used tool in my box next to the hobby knife
Very high quality feeling for the price. There are more expensive cutters out there but these are so good I can’t imagine ever buying anything else. Very well balanced so you can use for long periods without hand fatigue. Highly recommend!
Essential Tool for Any Modeller
Say goodbye to most sprue remnants The flat edge lines perfectly against most parts to significantly reduce sprue remnants. Saves you time on sanding and cleaning-- leaving more for gluing, painting and weathering
good tool!
Nice to finally get something that works well and works as advertised. It makes a nice fine cut and there is little need to file the edge as I am so used to doing when I use other products.
Ultra Flush Cutting Shears
By: Colin
Perfect for cutting parts off the sprue, even very small parts. Incredibly sharp which makes the cutting a breeze and the narrow jaws work easily into the sprue to get those difficult parts.
Good,not great...
Seems to cut pretty close on plastic sprues but less so on non-plastic, I.e. rubber kit tires,etc.; tends to leave stubs. Still, a quality choice but I would not use on photo-etched parts.
Cutting Shear
Bought more than 2 years ago. Still works perfectly Use only on plastic. You can cut/trim resin parts, but the cut will be very rough and it is hard to achieve a precise cut.
The Best
This a Great cutting shear for all those Tiny parts , that drive all Us modelers Nuts ! LOL And I like that they are spring loaded , these are the Best I had.
Perfect for smaller parts
If you work with 1/72 scale or smaller, these are a must have. Perfect for small parts that you don't have the room to maneuver around without damaging
Great Tool
