HIGH GRADE Carbon Steel. PERFECT For Trimming Model Sprues. SPRING Return For Easy Use. SLIP RESISTANT Rubberized Grip. QUALITY Made In Taiwan Construction.
It's ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL at $12! They work exactly like the $35 Tamiya cutters and completely destroy the $20+ Vatcan Prime cutters. They don't cut as cleanly as the USAGS Single Blade, but they dull after just a few sets and still amaze me. You can't come close to this quality without AT LEAST spending double! I would recommend lubricating them with WD-40 (but I recommend this for all cutters).
What does this mean for my modelling. Cuts through wood like a hot knife through butter. No more breaking small complex parts trying to separate them. Clean cuts. Less trimming is required with the Exacto blade. I'm very happy and glad I stopped using side cutters on my model making projects. The real test is yet to come as we'll see how long they stay sharp. I recommend this product at the moment. Goodbye.
These are excellent side cutters for model making. I decided to upgrade my $6 set because the thick, dull blades required a lot of cleaning after each cut. I was thinking of the $45 Godhands but wanted to try this cheaper set and I'm glad I did! The blades are beautiful, thin and very sharp. They seem to do well (although I'm usually careful with my tools). Cuts are clean, additional cleaning is practically unnecessary. I would definitely buy them again!
As a professional tennis racquet stringer this sprue cutter is perfect for my job. Racquet stringers need to cut a variety of string types, from hard polyester to soft nylon to natural gut. With sharp blades, you can easily cut threads of any type and thickness. I tried many different cutting tools before I found this one. Each had its own pros and cons, but I am very happy with this tool. It feels good in the hand, feels good in the hand and the small, sharp cutting head allows precise cuts in
