These are very good sprue cutters and will compete with your basic DSPIAE or God Hand for a fraction of the cost. Please note these are NOT flush cutters. These are single-edged anvil cutters. They cut well, but it won't be a clean flush cut. They appear to be well constructed, with good spring and resistance, and are well lubricated (which bleeds from the joints after the first dozen uses). As you can see in the picture it is flush and not aligned. Highly recommended.
