Stedi 4.7-inch Model Nipper, with Ultra-Thin Single-Edge and Blade Case Plastic Model Tools for Gundam Repairing Plastic Model and Fixing，Blue

Amazing little pair of nippers. I have been modelling for 20+ years, tried and had as many side cutters as I could get my hands on. These are by far the best I've had, comfortable and cut really well. I model airfix and games workshop miniatures, clean cutting with very little effort.Worth a punt.

I've recently bought several pairs of flush cutters similar to this so that I can compare them all and send back all but the best pair for a refund. I'm an electronics hobbyist.I didn't actually know that side cutters for Airfix models were a thing. So I bought these expecting them perhaps to be made from flimsy steel or to have some other obvious design characteristic which made them unsuitable for cutting copper wire. But I really can't see any reason why they should not survive a long time cutting copper. The blades are hard, the copper is soft: what am I missing?The product description is very clear that you shouldn't cut metal with them, and restates this several times but I think they are going to be ideal and it's a risk I'm prepared to take as their precision and manufacturing tolerance appears to be significantly better than the other brands I've been looking at such as Wiha, Knipex, Klein.Most of the cutters I bought for this test have issues with the cutting edges overlapping rather than meeting precisely along their edges. These do not: they are absolutely precisely lined up, and there is only a tiny, almost imperceptible, amount of wobble in the pivot.Furthermore these are the only pair of off the 7 or so which have an adjustment screw for limiting the jaw closure -- so you can set the edges to touch as closely as you wish. This is a great feature and gives you confidence that you're not going to apply pressure that may damage the edges, as in the case of some models which are set during manufacturing to close too much and hence this causes them to bypass each other and become badly unaligned.So in summary then, these are amazingly sharp, precise, and a joy to use. I'll update if I have anything new to report after using them for a while.

I've been using this cutter for 4 months now, and I've built two models with it. I found it to be a good alternative to the Army Painter cutter, which was too harsh for my needs.⭐️ Pros:- Very reasonably priced.- Slices through plastic with an almost perfect cut.- Fits well in my medium-sized hands.⚠️ Cons:- Should not be used on thick plastics (e.g., anything thicker than 2mm).- The cutting blade is very thin, so take care when using it. I recommend using it at a slight angle to avoid bending the plastic.- Build quality is okay, not perfect. The handle feels a bit flimsy, but for the price, it's acceptable.Conclusion:I've built two models using this cutter, and it's still working as intended. I have noticed a slight degradation in cutting performance, which is why I only use it on small parts. Honestly, for the price, you can buy a few compared to the expensive ones! If you're looking for an affordable cutter for fine-scale models, this is a great option!

I'm new to model building and not sure how long I will be into it.This is the 3rd pair I've had. 1st I had for something else 2nd not good. 3rd well.... brilliant the cut so nicely. Cut not clamp. The are small and nice and pointy which helps with the daft small bits.They are nice to holdThe price was ok.

Great nippers, comparable to "God Hands" if you know what that is. I am an experienced Gundam and model builder, and I have used a lot of nippers from different brands, this one sits quite high up on my preferred list. The blade is sharp and it stays sharp. Nippers come with a protective sleeve to cover the blade and you could always use the sliding case to protect the entire nippers. The nippers also come with a spare spring should you desire to change the tension yourself. Great nippers and I can strongly recommend it. Hope you will find this review useful.

The cutters seem very good so far. I have used them on one model so far and they cut the parts off the sprues very neatly. They have nice small, pointed jaws making access in tight places easy. The instructions point out that you should not cut parts with the points, as they might break. Having a cutting edge on just one jaw helps with a clean cut. Time will tell if they stay sharp and intact, but very pleased with them so far.

Brilliant side cutters. Worth paying the bit extra for these over the cheaper ones.

Bought these as an upgrade from some more generic double-blade nippers. I haven't had the opportunity to compare these to one of the highly-regarded God Hand or DSIPAE brand nippers, but based on my experience building with them so far they give a very neat and mark free cut. They're probably best paired with a more heavy duty nipper to separate the parts from the runner and then use these to trim at the gate, as the blade is quite delicate.They come with an allen key and spare spring to set the closing tension correctly. With this type of nipper it's important to set this before use, as too much pressure on the blades will cause a fracture. There are several guides on model building forums/reddit pages as to how to do this correctly.Very impressed for the price.
