      Very Sharp!

      While not quite as good a deal as Gundam Planet's own sprue cutters, these Tamiya ones are very sharp and cut out parts with hardly any effort.

      Very little discoloration of the plastic occurs when cuts are made.

      Using these for the first time had me eyeing the build stash and wondering what to start cutting next!

      Sharp and solid, nub marks gone in no time!

      These nippers are great. Good grip and no slip. Heavy enough to handle, but easy to cut. No fatigue even cutting runners for complex kits. Save time by making close cut and file it down, no need to use cutting knife to clean up. I thought this is a step toward God-hand, but I will just stick with this until it breaks..which is probably never!

      Great, precise nippers

      I have these in addition to the Bandai Spirits Build-Up Nippers, and these are far more capable. The Bandai nippers cut fairly well, but the thicker blades mean that they push the part around more when you cut. The result is that you occasionally get unintended stress marks on other gates while you're cutting.

      The blades on these nippers are much thinner, and they seem to be sharper, as well. Cuts are cleaner and there's very little movement in the part while cutting. I still wouldn't cut flush with the piece, particularly for large gates on blue/red plastic, but you can get pretty close.

      Awesome for cutting parts of a runner

      The size is a problem though, these are on the small side
