Buy these if you work with plastic models. They cut sprues like butter. Let me tell you I bought a cheap kit that you usually find here from Revain who bought some wire cutters and this thing has always had trouble cutting parts out of the sprues. No find, I barely have to squeeze the handles and cut them. God's hands are smaller than I thought, but you can see the quality construction when you hold it in your hands. Do yourself a favor if you're serious about working with plastic. Models that come in sprues, take them. They are amazing.
