RUITOOL Model Nippers, Model Tools for Beginners to Repair and Fix Plastic Models, Ultra-thin Single-edged Non-slip Grip, 4.7 Inch Sharp Cutters for Model Building

I ordered these because they're a cheap option for single-bladed hobby nippers. I put them to the ultimate test by using them to build the PG Perfect Strike Gundam model kit. Although I haven't used single bladed nippers before, I was pleasantly surprised by their quality and sharpness of the blade. If cut properly, they do leave a small and mostly unnoticeable mark on the piece from the runner. They stayed sharp for the whole project, which was over a week of daily use; and I'm hoping/assuming they'll remain that way for some time. The nippers include a soft faux-leather cover for the nippers as well as a magnetic plastic case for storage. Which is a very nice inclusion.The only things that I did not like about them is that when left in the neutral open position, it is a bit wider than my hands naturally rest while holding them. So sometimes picking them up and getting ready to cut took me a moment. This might not be a problem for those with larger hands though.Also, keep in mind with these that the single-blade and the flat part of the nippers are not level. So they do not cut completely flush. This is fine for those that sand their pieces; but if you're expecting it to be a God-hand level perfect first cut, you'll be let down. Overall solid nippers. I might check out their other nippers and give them a review.

Arrived missing a 1/2 of the teeth. Immaculate case and cover, but quality control completely shipped a broken product.edit: They sent me out a replacement quickly and the nippers actually work very well. I'm impressed. My review went from 1 star to 5 stars because these things are actually a gamechanger. They slice the plastic incredibly thinly, allowing you to effortlessly cut the pieces from the sprue, entirely flush with the model. It winds up saving a ton of work and headache. The thing with most nippers is it actually mashes the plastic at the contact point instead of merely cutting it. So normally you have to be super careful (like with the base model Citadel nippers, for instance), and when you inevitably clip the part wrong, it either leaves a hole, or it bends and warps the the plastic due to being smushed. So yeah, these are like having the leverage to send a razor blade clean through the contact point. I have to say these are an actual game changer. No hyperbole, they really are.I'm clipping and building an average of 10 Warhammer minis a day, so these have instantly made the experience easier and enjoyable. I clipped two Necrons so far and I'm immediately shocked. If you do happen to get a complete and functional pair, you'll be glad you bought these.

I bought these as the cheap cutters I had did a bad job and left stress marks on parts. These are comfortable, very sharp and cut very close to parts leaving no stress marks and very little material left to sand or file away. The price point was very attractive to me and seems to be a good compromise of quality and price for the everyday person. I definitely recommend these based on my experience with excellent functionality and in my opinion a reasonable price.

•NOT FOR CRAFTERS•My 13 year old son Is into Gundam creating and 3d printing crafts. I bought it full price and don’t regret it but would definitely recommend getting them when on sale.They are pretty thin and sharp so They work best with thin bits and softer plastics, struggle a bit anything thicker than linguine pasta thickness, and will break with metal. (Source: He tried to cut through thin wiring) Definitely would not work for the wife’s crafting.Comfort and size is good for most palms. Will definitely need adjusting on fingers if hand/palm size is bigger.

First time ever owning a pair of real nippers like these and man do they make a difference. Minimal sanding and clean up after using this. I use a basic one to do the initial cutting, then this to get in a little closer and it barely leaves any stress marks at all. Well worth the money.

These nippers are pretty sharp, I find myself using them for more than just trimming model kits. They haven't started to dull either. They come with a carrying case and a leather(?) cover for the blades. It all looks very nice and is functional. The value they provide compared to GodHand nippers is great.

Works Great, cuts clean and little pressure, thanks to the cutting head it can get in to tight spaces on the runners~ still need a little sanding after trimming parts, but its cheaper and better then some "Godhands". 100/10 will buy again~

Perfect for gundam projects. My son’s favorite! Expensive, but will last and work very well.
