Great cutters.
Good quality. Very sharp. Easy to hold and slip resistant. Easily cuts through plastic or resin. Bit pricey but I don't mind paying for quality. Wish you could lock them closed as their default position is open.
User
Wow great side cutters a must have for model making
Wow total game changer. these are so sharp and cut much closer than my other snips definitely recommend for for aged over 15 only .suitable model makers with small awkward sprues to cut very sharp so beware.
User
very sharp
Really sharp. the quality is tangible. it is very good for plastic sprues. it has a better cut respect to the normal cheap ones. I think it is due to how the blades are organised (Functionally I think there is one blade fixed and one mobile respect to 2 mobiles).perfect size, really easy to use (as expected).

Worth the money??
I have a pair of Xuron cutters which were dropped and the point broke, After reading many reviews i decided to bite the bullet, spend the money and purchase the Tamiya cutters. They are fantastic - sharp and cut cleanly. But double the price of the Xuron? - definitely not worth that. Xuron for me next time.

Awesome
OK, they are comparatively expensive, but these are frankly the best precision sprue cutters you can buy. The fine point of the 74123 model allows you to get tight to the smallest parts and these cutters do not pinch the plastic (like a cheaper pair would), meaning cut is super clean and the amount of clean-up to the plastic part is very minimal, if at all. Note these cutters are designed for precision cutting of parts from the sprue - if you want to cut the sprues themselves or are working with thicker plastic, get the 74001 Tamiya cutters, which offer a more all round ability. I use both of these cutters, they're worth every single penny, they're brilliant, very high quality and will enhance your skills and improve your results.

Worth the Money!!
Worth the money. I have had cheaper nippers but you get what you pay for and these are excellent. As always with Tamiya well made and these are extremely sharp

A pleasure to use
Sharp, easy to use, cut with almost no effort. A flat cutting profile allows a nice flush cut against parts for minimal sprue-gate cleanup. Their action is smooth and precise - no wobble or slop. The fine cutting tip allows much better access than heavier alternatives where gaps are tight. Expensive enough that I’ll be taking good care of them. A definite step up from my previous pair that are now relegated to chopping the thicker runners to gain better access to small parts.

Oldukça Kullanışlı
Elimde standart yan keskiden vardı. Fakat onunda model ağacına çok yakın olan parçaları kesmekte zorlanıyordum. En son yaptığım modelde de iyice uğraşmam gereken bir parça olduğundan sipariş verdim. Normal yan keskiye göre boyu da kesici ağzı da oldukça ufak. Ağız çok ince olduğundan da kesme işlemi çok iyi. Ayrıca ufak temizliklerde de kullanabilirsiniz.

LA référence
Pour débuter, j'ai réalisé mes premiers Gundam avec une pince bas de gamme provenant d'un kit de démarrage. Je me suis vite heurté aux limites de cette dernière. Peu précise, émoussé, il fallait systématiquement reprendre les prélèvements.J'ai donc décidé de prendre une pince Tamiya, qui demeure la référence en matière de modélisme.Relativement chère, celle-ci demeure très qualitative !Précise, avec une coupe excellente, elle est juste parfaite !Oubliez les kits avec plein d'accessoires, une pince de qualité fera l'affaire!

Montar gunplas cambia con esto
Mis dos primeros gundam los monté cortando con unos alicates de los chinos, porque me apetecía mucho empezar y no sabía dónde me metía. Os podéis imaginar el resultado. Los he ido puliendo después, pero ha llevado el doble de trabajo. Después de eso, me pillé un pack en Amazon por 15 euros que traía unos alicates, unas lijas y demás cosas, más o menos fue útil, mejoró la experiencia, pero no encontraba la perfección que buscaba. Así que me puse a investigar a fondo, a ver vídeos, comprobar cómo quedaba cuando lo hacía un profesional. Y casi todos decían lo mismo: GodHand o Tamiya.Bien, Tamiya es más barato y por tanto me decanté por este para probar la diferencia. Y sí... Cuando los alicates son buenos, cuando el corte es tan preciso, cuando cortar el plástico parece mantequilla, todo cambia, todo mejora.¿Lo recomiendo? Por supuesto, vas a notar la diferencia nada más usarlo, ya no podrás volver a otros. El corte es tan limpio y veloz que te ahorra muchísimo tiempo. Cierto es que 30 euros no son baratos y que te lo vas a pensar más de una vez, pero si tu idea es continuar con este hobby, no lo dudes, porque a la larga vas a ganar.
