Sooo I didn’t realize my auto focus was disabled till I started to edit😩😩 sorry guys!!
i thought my eyes are failing. anyway, more videos to come. cheers!
Please respond
No problem! It happens lol.
i will try and focus...focus...focus!
AHHHH... Sorry you're having these video issues. Still appreciate the content though. You're the best for posting in the middle of moving!!!
Hey, coming from a knife collector, most of these tools are carbon steels that rust very easily. Rust can be removed by soaking in vinegar, or using something like Sabitoru rust eraser. Rubbing them down with a thin coating of mineral oil will prevent rust too.
Edit: Also, Thinner blade, harder steel gives you cleaner cuts and better edge retention, but it will be more brittle and fragile. That's the compromise. Maybe someday a company will be crazy enough to make nippers out of s35vn, but it probably wouldn't be worth it for a tool you can't really resharpen.
Even S35VN dulls. At the end of the day it is all about heat treating. Good material won't perform without proper heat treatment.
Considering you can't really sharpen these nippers, I vote we use ZDP-189 steel which will retain the edge for a lot longer but will be more prone to snapping if dropped
@@cancersillycrab what about ZDP-189 tho? Are they good by any means? If you know that is
It's a type of stainless steel that certain Japanese chef knives are made from, in general this steel is expensive but has great properties that allows the steel to retain the cutting edge but is more brittle than softer stainless and some carbon steels (zdp has a HRC of 60+).
Since these knives made of ZDP are hard to sharpen, I feel like it would be a great material to make nippers from since they are difficult to sharpen as opposed to high carbon steels.
@@cancersillycrab oh its a knife, I feel dumb. I thought they were a type of nipper. However if they are that strong it would he nice to see some nippers, especially godhands to try and use this material for a more sturdy nipper
Just received my god hand spn120 nippers from newtypehq after watching your review. What a difference from my cheap pair! First time I used them I had to double check because I didn’t even feel them cut! Awesome pair of nippers. Got a few other supplies and 2 gundam kits as well and just completed the HG Barbatos and will assemble the Banshee norn tomorrow so I’m now a gundam collector. Thanks for the great review and keep making videos!
Nippers will rust if you leave them in their package for too long because oil dry out and there are moisture trapped inside.
(Sharper they are, easier to rust, because they contain more carbon)
Take them out of the package and leave them in a well ventilated place, oil them once in a while, they can last for decades.
I left mine in the package actually for storage but I made the mistake of doing so, rusted sadly, I did however remove the rust. But I'm gonna move them to a well ventilated space now, thanks for the tip, warning?
can we store them in the pouch? such as godhand nipper
Thanks for this video! Love when you do these types, helps to make future choices. Including all the comments chiming in with their opinions too.
So, this is it, this is the video I was expecting. I have some gunpla and other plastic kits still on boxes, never had the courage to take them on because I just didn't knew what were the proper tools to cut the pieces. This is very enlightening. Now I can proceed to order the right tool from Japan as soon as the human malware situation gets any better. Thanks Meli!
Good video Meli & THANKS for making me feel better ! Knowing an expert like you has broken SPN-120's reduces my shame, since I also broke my set of God Hand SPN-120 Nippers by accidentally dropping them on a plastic bin lid & one side broke clean off. They are the BEST Nippers & DO cut like a hot knife thorugh butter ... BUT best used only if the runner/plastic up to a certain diameter. Like you I use multiple pairs of Nippers - a cheap pair to remove the piece from the runner, then the SPN-120 for a final close cut before any sanding,. I actually found most cuts did not require sanding since the SPN-120's cut SO cleanly .... noice ! I also use a small chisel to pry open parts, because it is hardened steel & cheaper to replace/sharpen.
Been waiting for a comparison for quite some time... right on!
I can't stop looking at your big gundam on the background
I can even believe that he is alive just like Jewish Golem
try really hard to focus it
WTF...you got heart from Gundam Princess.🤣🤣🤣
Creep
avicrebon??
I see two of those big 😅
This is one of the best videos comparing nippers. Concise and great zoom on the parts. Thank you
i think graddaddy needs to be in full show on every video. He looks so awesome! Can't wait for the granddaddy painting series!
Great comparison! Helped me a lot. Keep making videos
Thanks for this review! Just in time. I wasn't sure about the GodHand nippers and which one. Great review! Getting the PN-120, good enough for me. I don't think I need to go to SPN. Thank you!!
I currently use a nipper made by a local brand in our country called Alexan, which sells architecture and engineering tools. It's only about USD 2.25 if converted but it can do very good cuts.
Thanks for the video, it was nice and informative. I have been questioning if I should bother buying the God Hand SPN-120 for use on my upcoming PG kits to make clean cut and this video basically said yes get them. So thanks for helping me decide on what to use.
How flush can the Godhands cut when the gates are not on the edge of a part, like on the first couple of parts you show? The only (generic) single bladed nipper I tried cuts clean, but can't cut flush to a part unless the gate is along the edge of a part.
2 videos in two day?! This is amazing 🤧❤️ hope you are doing well Meli!
Love my SPN-120 God Hand Nippers, it saves so much time in cleanup.
Hey @GunplaMeli! I have the Rx- 0 Unicorn MG and I want to have miniature mechanics working on him. Do you have any leads where I can get those?
I never knew nippers can make such difference. Huge thumbs up.
I love your content so much. I found your channel and by coincidence my manager at work also found you not too long ago.
Its refreshing seeing such an attractive young woman be a big fan of Gunpla and share the same nerdy hobby we do. Keep on keeping on. We a big fan.
We also love your Japan trip videos!
Ps. We are both Spanish speakers and it was a real cool surprise haha
has anyone tried lowering the gunpla plastic temperature, for example the freezer before cutting to lower the chance of stress mark occuring?
Very informative! Thank you very much!
At the moment I've been using the Bandai spirits build up nippers with a cheapo pair as a backup but I'm really interested in getting the Godhand nippers!
I use some from Army Painter. They are for Wargame miniatures but they work great. I use an exacto blade to clean the cuts after the piece is free.
hi there just wanna ask where did you get that big gunpla at your back and hm? thank youuu
Omg thank you, you just helped me so much
So use the entry one to cut from the runners and use god hand only for clean it up?
i read that mineral oil prevents rust, and brush some on my nippers every once and a while, they have gotten darker but not much rust and im in Hawaii and everything rusts. also keep them in a foam padded pencil box. ive been lucky and still on my first pair of spn 120s
So for someone who is dealing with economic problems you think I should get the entry grade Nippers or tamiya ?
(actually just tell me something that's very durable but also on the cheat side and it'll last me a year or longer pls)
( I'm not planning to build too many model kits at the moment so now I only plan to build one mega size and 1 RG and 3 HG so far)
This is very informative for a lazy builder like me. This video deserves a like. I’m glad subscribing from you was worth it
As for the topic, i think the godhand is kinda exoensive than bandai version? Been wanting to have a godhand ever since i started building a kit
happy 5 years! on your channel. btw todays aug 7 is my fathers b-day.
I used a Citadel nipper after my Godhand one broke. I felt that nipper just don't matter as much. If I paint a kit, I need to sand the surface anyway. If I don't paint a kit, I use water with a glass filer to clear the remaining mark.
You are right. At the end of the day, they really don't matter.
do you still need to use a hobby knife/sandpaper if you use the God Hands?
Got the SPN-120 a while back. Of course I use the cheap nippers to cut out the parts but I use the Godhand ones to trim off the excess plastic... Cleanup is MUCH more easy thanks to them.
Meli, i noticed you have less kit? Or you're organizing your kits? Anyways, whats the scale of that RX 78-2 behind you?
thanks for video, regarding the rust i use WD40(silicon free) for cleaning and storage(rust prevention) and fine machine oil for lubrication
I thought this is my time to get a glasses
Yafet was the start of the video blurry you because I can’t see it properly it’s kinda blurry
Nice comparison video ^_^
Me personally use the cheap nipper (I'm using the $12 godhand keroro) to cut the parts from the runner, and then use the godhand ultimate nipper for cleaning the remaining nub from the parts. For straight build it's really save time because less stress mark means less time for sanding, some parts doesn't even need to sand especially the white colored ones ^_^
Those empty spaces at the back is somewhat unsettling. Nice video, informative.
Do these cutters make a difference? Back in the day I just use regular ole scissors to cut out the pieces and shave the stubs with a box cutter lol
i got the godhand nippers and love them, i love how much time they save me when nipping parts out
Well Here is what i do :
1. using nipper cut connection point between the frame and the parts
2. using cutter to cute out the plastic connection tip on the parts
3. using filer to file out any remaining excessive on the parts
4. if necessary, use sand paper to smooth it out
Thank you Meli. I finally decided to get a GodHand.
Can Godhand nippers be used on all cuts or just the nub marks?
I'm currently using the DSPIAE single blade nipper ST-A 2.0.
I looked into buying a set of the Godhands but was put off by the price (I only spend about 2 hours a week on the hobby) but then I saw Flory Models reviewing the DSPIAE ST-A 3.0 version and they are amazing! They come in a little presentation box (almost like jewellery :) and a little adjustment tool and instruction manual... long story short, they are very nice. At £28 ($37 US, inc shipping) they were a good deal for me :)
I don’t have easy access to any God Hand nippers in our local shops in my country sadly. Though I have used Tamiya Sharp Pointed Side Cutter for plastic (slim jaw) item #74123 and the blades are thinner than the usual Tamiya side cutters... they work fine for me when I cut slow and leaves relatively ok clean cuts. Though when I cut fast would leave a more messier cut at times.
My very first pair of nippers were the blue bandai spirits entry nipper, and although they aren't anything fancy they work way better then simple wire cutters. Edit: normally I would of just assumed that the video was a bit blurry because my tablet is old and shitty.
Awesome video I enjoy it.
I found these Gundam Planet nippers on Amazon that I've had for several years now, best pair EVER and they were less than $30
I'm a fan of those as well! They are sneaky good!
$30, convert that to php and we geeeeet...1,456.65 philippine pesos, damn that's expensive
I have been using the Dspiae 3.0 and have not had any issues.
I've got the 2.0 but I use the 2 cut method entry cut off runners leaving a couple of mm then use 2.0 to cut the nubs off
Waiting for mine to come. I've been building a lot lately and I'm getting tired of using my cheapo nippers and knife constantly. Having a decent set of nippers for some obvious nubs will be a God send.
Great video!
I agree!!! The Godhand nippers are the best! I broke 2 of them between 2 weeks. 😂😂 But I learnt from that mistake. Now I have 3 spare ones. I bought alot because the shop I buy in said the production of these nippers are gonna be slow because of the covid-19 pandemic. But it's a good investment. Love these nippers
I have used two sort of god hand clones. Wave side cutter for plastic gate and the galaxy tools side cutter. both work great I think the galaxy tools cutter is sharper but has a clone of the god hand adjustment meaning they are harder for a novice to adjust.
When r u ganna review the pg perfect strike gundam
Great comparison video! I'd like to see what your thoughts are on other in-house nippers (like GundamPlanet's and/or USAGundamStore's in-house nippers)~
I have FISKARS nippers (wire cutters) that my wife used when she worked at a place that built circuit boards and they work great and I also have some that I bought at Walmart that come to a point Model 170 for $5.79 and a pair Dorman 90704 Micro wire cutter for $13.94 and they work just fine. I use the $5.79 more then the others.
A great product for rust is Flitz. It’s non-toxic and wont ruin most finishes. I use it on everything a have that made of metal. It didn’t even ruin stuff I had that was thinly plated.
What happen to your gundam why it’s not displayed?
Great video you should have shown your self cutting the pieces as for the rust on the blade metal dosen't have to get wet to rust you should use oil to keep then lubricated and they dont rust
I laughed when you mentioned your cut thump ..... so Relatable 😅😅
Guess you are good at hooking up at clubs with your clumsy damadged thumb.
I’m almost sold on getting some God Hands. Though I clean every part with a X-acto, so I’m not sure my results will be much different. But maybe God Hands will speed up my process.
I use $3 dollar nippers then clean with combo of Xacto and sanding. More work but its a therapeutic process.
opinion on the recent 1:1 gundam design?
Now if only God hand makes a “Purple Nippers”
Nice!
back when i use God hand there wasnt any pouch that came with it yet. in my experience i have broken 2 God hand.
what a treat! twice a week :D
Funny story. I found nippers in craft store that were for jewelry that worked for cheaper entry level. It was the same no name production company as ones in hobby shop. Same size and shape but the packaging was different and cheaper at craft store. LOL!
I just bought GH SPN 120. Now i'm more afraid to use it after watched this review. 😂 but i still confused about the different between GH SPN 120 and PN 120. Can someone tell me?
PN for cutting off runners, SPN for finish cut.
@@jrhietikko i see. Thank you 🙏🏻
trow a silicabag into the box you keep the nipper
I was wondering the bandai entry level nipper, so thanks for this video I will pick godhand instead
No referral links , where can I buy these?
Use a bean bag pillow on your desk, or a regular pillow, and nip with ease 😁 I have butterfingers too but haven’t used nippers yet. I just use my hands to snap pieces out of the runner and sprue and use my finger nails to remove the leftover nubs but now I’m thinking about investing in the God hand spn-120s 😃
6:00 PN-120 does wonders with less stress-marks. 7:37 the SPN-120 are clean.
I just use cheap beginner ones, cut further back on the sprue and then cut the excess on the model back with a scapel, its way cheaper and generally even better than godhands.
Love it
Hello @Gunpla meli I was just wondering if you given sgt frog plamo a try. Sgt frog an anime did a lot of gundam reference and stuff and they have a lot of gunpla.
Thanks for doing the comparisons, I never considered something like this. Ever try the modeling tools made by Xuron?
the video is blurry when it's on you, but on close up it becomes clear and properly focused i wonder why.
Big size gundam... amazing
No Matter what nippers you use, You're always gonna get nubs. Its always best to sand all your nubs.
This. So much this.
except for kits that are pearl or gloss or gold edition
nippers & nubs ( o. ) ( o. )
I thought my sight is getting blurry 🤣
私は日本人です。あなたのプラモデルへの拘りは素晴らしいです！
You want to keep your metal tools out of a humid or damp room and also not something you want to take from room to room with temperature changes or outside things like that that'll cause rust real quick on especially most tools these days are laminated in a clear coat as soon as soon as I clear coats gone boom rust with cheap metal
Hmmmm. I think the vid is a little bit blurry?
I got Valtcan nippers on a suggestion from Reddit and they've treated me well so far
I haven't tried those yet! How long have you had those? Do they cut clean?
@@HobbyVolt A month or two. They're pretty good at getting a pretty flush cut on flat surfaces but they're decidedly not immune to stress marks.
@@FastDeathbycat Thank you! I'll check them out!
Where are your other gunplas?
either go all out and get the best nipper or an decent one. buying nippers somewhere in the middle price range will be pretty much the same as the decent one. when i first started i used cheap 99 cent nippers and nail clippers to clean the nub. now getting back in the hobby a early this year i decided to get the god hand spn-120.
I just use a resharpened $10 nipper they cut like the Pn-120
Tools can do so much. Of course the more expensive tools will make it easier to get better results but you can still use even the more basic tools and get high quality results.
Personally I have the Tamiya ones. I know they’re not the best but they do a good job IMO. With minimal additional work you can get great looking results.
If you’re serious about GunPl then get at least the mid-tier tools and learn how to efficiently use them to get good results. But if you have the spare income then by all means feel free to splurge on the GodHand tools.
@xxnike629xx Too bad your nippers are useless to you anyway. After all, you still refuse to build even just a single kit again due to your *COWARDICE* 💩💩💩💩💩💩
That sure is a huge gundam 😉
Where?
Where is Meli's collection behind？
Build up nippers are what you're supposed to use to pry pieces apart
i was soo waiting for the RX to move..
Wow I'm early hahaha I feel like picking GodHand
Nice black top
How tall is that RX 78-2?
Is it as tall as you?
Wow...is very BIG
Wow...just...wow
