Micro Sprue Cutting Plier

I found this nipper off a gunpla subreddit. The guy who wrote about these nippers swore up and down they are on the same level as the well reviewed GodHand nippers. He even had a video of the side by side comparison. I went and took the plunge and bought them. They are exactly as good as what he said and for half the price. I have gone through 2 HG kits and 1 RG Gundam kit and they cut so smooth. You have to remember to use these slowly. Don’t cut it too quick. Cut them slowly and you will see less stress marks on the runner. All the colored runners I have used these on have been stress free if you use them how your supposed to. BUY THIS IF YOU ARE BUILDING ANY TYPE OF KITS!

I have found these nippers to be excellent for cutting small parts from plastic runners because I can get so close there is little to no sanding required to clean up the part, especially when you learn to turn them over to get as close as possible. Also the part does not fly across the room as with X-acto. Make sure you use them only for plastic, as I cut thin metal wire and it left a chink in the blade making them useless for minute cutting of plastic.

I have serval sprue cutters and blades. This one is by far the best tool for cutting delicate parts without breakage. I continue to use heavier cutters for the thicker sprue.

I ordered these sprue cutters because I needed something on part with the Godhands nippers from Japan, and these were about the same performance for half the price. But I should stress that these things are delicate, and should be treated as such.

After a couple days using my cutters, I must have broken the stud on the side that keeps the blades from opening too wide, and the spring fell out. That's entirely my fault, mind you, but remember this when I say that I'm now ordering a second set, because it really did perform that well. Just be sure to be delicate with them and don't just throw them in the toolbag.
