Review on ✂️ Xuron 440 Shears - High Precision Scissor by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is of excellent quality, although not quite up to the task.

Excellent product, although not quite up to the job I bought it for. I bought these precision scissors on the recommendation of Fine Scale Modeler. Magazine for removing photo-etched brass from frets. While they can be fine for larger scales, for 1/350 scale and smaller they often damage thin parts and are too thick to fit in most places. However, they are excellent for cutting/trimming plastic details. I have since found and purchased a Revain Xuron 9180ET professional photo etch cutter which is just about perfect for cutting and trimming all the photo etched brass I could ever ask for. And only $3 more. than 440. If using photo-etched brass I recommend the 9180ET scissors instead.

Pros
  • Package length: 6.0 in.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
