GodHandBlade One Nipper GH-PN-120 For Plastic Models

I was on the fence about getting these and the SPN-120s because it’s like 80 bucks for the two, but it genuinely is a massive difference in cutting with these vs generic Amazon kit nippers. The red ones are an amazing first cut that feels like cutting thru butter. I notice parts don’t come flying off the runners like they did before either. Everything feels much smoother and just drops on my mat. The blue SPN-120s as a second cut are incredible and basically removed the need for my tamiya hobby knife because they cut so cleanly. I just got into gunpla like last month, but I’ve already built like 6 kits. So I realized this was going to be something I’d do consistently and therefore wanted to expedite my build process hence me getting these. If you’re just starting out, you don’t need them, but if you want to build long term, these are worth it.

they work great, you get what you pay for!

I've casually enjoyed Gunpla over the years and saw GodHand recommended thousands of times. The price has always kept me away. After recently gettings some 5 pin switches for my 3 pin keyboard, I needed some flush cutters to cut away the extra pegs. I always struggled with stress marks on my Gunpla models in the past. I got the cheapest pair of nippers I could find and used them for years. They always kind of mushed and stressed the plastic more so than actually cut it. I decided that I wanted to get a nice, clean cut on the switches. It's not something that I would be seeing, but I invested a lot of time and money in my keyboard and I knew it would make me feel better to go that extra bit and really keep every detail clean and neat. My budget has come quite a ways from my high school and college days, so I figured it was time to finally give the GodHand a try, not only for my switches but just to keep around for use in general.What a difference!Right out of the packaging I instantly noticed just how nice these feel to hold and squeeze. They have nice high quality textured handles and the opening and closing movement just feels smooth and effortless. They are also quite sharp. As soon as I put them up to the first plastic peg and squeezed they just cut through like butter. Beautifully clean cut with almost no effort on my part. The sharp edge made it easy to see where I was cutting and went through the plastic better than a fresh X-ACTO knife.It's such a small thing, using nippers to cut plastic. But honestly, I was really impressed with how well these worked and how nice they felt to use. As soon as I made the first cut, I was instantly compelled to grab some unbuilt models that I've had sitting around in storage just so I could use them more.Yes, they are expensive. But if you appreciate quality and work with plastic at all, these are amazing. Do other nippers get the job done? Yes. Do they do it as well and feel as nice? Absolutely not. Don't skip out on making a car payment just to get these fancy nippers, but if you have it in your budget and feel like you'll use them often enough please do yourself a favor and pick up a pair.

Makes a much cleaner cut! Makes it easier to follow up with an exacto knife to remove nubs!

I’ve been using Games Workshop cutters for years since I saw no reason to spend 50+ dollars on nippers. After loosing my GW cutters I decided to pull the trigger. These make a world of difference and are worth it. If you run space Marines you know about the marks on the Heat vents on the Power Pack. These nippers cut so close and well most of the time I don’t have to clean those cuts up and they remain unnoticeable after painting.

The review is in the name of the nippers. The Godhand nippers are the ultimate nippers. These nippers last for years. Use the nippers as intended and they will remain sharp and will not become chipped. I suggest watching a video on proper technique for using the nippers. You may say the price seems high for model nippers but they save you time and money. You won’t have to replace these as often as some other brand nippers. The cut is very flush which will save you time on clearing the left behind nub marks which are virtually nonexistent when using these nippers.

I've only ever used cheapo nippers. This was a splurge, and I figured it would at least be a bit different, probably a little better.I was wrong. It's a whole world better.If you want to cut down how much you're using an x-acto blade, and generally get to a place you don't REALLY have to sand, get these.Word of warning, they're on the small side, and SHARP. I've got relatively large hands, and I dropped these a few times. The sharp part come into play here since I dropped them between my legs, and flexed to catch them... And stabbed my thigh pretty good with the tips. If you're marginally more graceful than me you'll be fine.That sharpness makes the cuts to your runners and burrs so smooth. Feels like little to no resistance on each snip. They're a "blade and gate/block" type cutter. One side has a flat "holding" point, and the other side is a real sharp blade. Used it for the hands of the PG Red Astray frame (and other places of course) and it's the best set of hands I've done.
