Thank you so much. I appreciate your effort.
Thank yuo very much, saved me a lot of time
Tyvm
You dropped this 👑
🗿👍
I never thought I would have the need to see that many of anything tested, but I feel I have gained useful knowledge. Thanks for another great review video.
Thanks buddy
I was into nipper collecting few years ago, but ended up selling them 1 by 1
That Tamiya (slim jaw) is actually dual blade
& ST-X is the latest nipper from DSPIAE, I've try the ST-A 2.0 & now own 3.0 just like yours
@@muhammaddirga6037 didn't get the ST-X one and got the ST-A 3.0 which kinda sucks but I know it'll do the job at least
I don't think the Tamiya nipper is actually a single blade. They are a standard double blade design, but an excellent quality double blade.
Yes you are correct. I looked at the Tamiya 123 under magnification and it’s a double edge like wire cutters
You are correct, it’s double bladed. It’s really good at cutting a lot of pieces from the runner, but not good at cutting flush or the gate. I use Tamiya to remove pieces from the runners and then the Godhand for gate/nub removal.
@@ShinHito That's exactly what I do. Tamiya for the sprue removal and Godhand for the cleanup.
apparently the tamiya isn't single blade, mate. idk who gave you the info, but tamiya doesn't make single blade nipper at all.
but overall great video. thanks, mate.
I went from actual wirecutters to the DSPIA. What an insane difference.
Sadly the stopping rod fell out at some point, which I’ve replaced with superglued pieces of a cocktail stick.
Very nice test.
That WisePro seems like a winner for the best cost effective plastic nipper of the bunch. Appreciate the video going over all of these - I feel properly informed!
Nive review. IMO, the Dspiae 3.0 nippers are just as good as God Hand and are $15 to $20 cheaper.
The bright red pieces contrasted against your grey gloves and grey background reminds me of Schindler's List. Great video!
I had those PIT Nippers, blade, and flat end were uneven. Inconsistent quality control seems to be the issue for them. I sent them back and went with the Stedi Ultimate Single Edge version. $35.00 price point. Give those a try if you want a GodHand comparison.
Great video, may have to consider eventually getting one of these. One thing you might look into as well is how well they clip clear parts, since those can be some of the hardest parts to clip without leaving stress marks.
for sure. It's a balancing act between cutting the harder plastic well enough/stress mark free and possibly cocking up your expensive thin bladed expensive pair.......
What ??? Never use single blade on clear parts, it's in the instructions, you're gonna break them they're too thick !!!
Hobby Mio and GH pretty much cut clear parts like butter. Interesting fact, I searched and bought my first GH nipper because I was working on a PG Aile Strike with clear armors and the first cut left a big stress mark that made me halt the project until the GH arrived.
The second thing is to do the double cut method but still leaving room so you can sand it, you can work it either with the original method (sanding grits of 400+ all the way to polishing grits) or use glass files. Tamiya 74123 is the first cut, then gut in deep for the second cut with single blades eg GH but leaving a small nub to sand/glass. (you can effectively get the nub without stress due to single blades). Never broke the GH, I see them broken all the time and one of them is through clear plastic but if you're smart enough.
Great video of course.
I have been getting a lot of DSPIAE products lately and it all come in the same nice packaging. I can’t bring myself to toss it out.
I use my trusty Tamiya cutters for just about everything. They are reliable, and ship up clean and close. Around 26 bucks.
I have had the GH PN-120 for a long time and use them only on clear parts due to the sharpness and strength. They work amazingly for that purpose
Wow, can't believe the Nanye nipper cost $18 over there, because in Vietnam here, we can easily buy it around $6.4-$7.68 (150-180k VND), which is 1/10 the price of GodHand SPN-120 (1500k VND ~ $64). While the performance is not that great, and it always leaves some plastic left (because the basic design of the nipper, you can read more about it on Dspiae document), using it then cleaning up with wet generic glass file (only cost me $1) already gives a very good result. So I'd say Nanye nipper + a simple glass file is the best combo for anyone who don't want to spend too much on these tools.
BTW, Nanye nipper doesn't have any stoppers, I guess that's the reason why you can hear the nipping sound. Also, the biggest cons of it is that the nipper becomes rusty very easy, I've only use for about less than half the years and the handle is very rusty right now. While it still works normally (probably because I always use the maintenance oil that came with it), I just hate the rusty handle and the nipping sound, so I upgraded to Dspiae 3.0 just couple weeks ago.
Mine is the new version coming with a hard plastic box (you can keep the nipper with the cover and the adjustment tool in it), a cleaning cloth and a separate maintenance oil can with another cleaning cloth. The whole set costs us around $30-$34 (700-800k VND) so it's less than half the price of the GodHand SPN-120 while the package and accessories are much more pleasant to have. I was busy so I haven't try out the Dspiae yet, but from all the review I've looked so far, I don't think I'd make another upgrade soon.
And those 3 nippers above, the Nanye, the Dspiae 3.0 and the GodHand SPN-120, are the easiest to buy here because most shops sells these, you can always buy them with a very good price. Tamiya, Hobby Mio and some other Japanese nippers are also sold here but not by many shops, though.
Hi I'm a Vietnamese American looking to travel to the motherland sometime soon. What sort of shops sell gundam tools over there in VN? Cam on!
about $6 here in malaysia. honestly it works well enough. even after being used for 20+ kits mine still cuts pretty well. granted i always clean up with hobby knife and sanding foams anyway. however for flat surfaces where i can lay the blade flat i can cut flush to the part and minimize cleaning up
The one thing I found with the cheaper nippers is that after a few kits, the softer metal starts to lose it's sharpness and they stop cutting and start mashing. I think I made it through about 3 HGs and 2 MGs before they "lost their edge" so to speak.
The nice thing about their softer blades is that they won't break as readily so they're great for first cut to get them off the sprue since they're still nice and thin.
Godhand SPNs definitely are the thinnest hardest blade of the ones I've tested. I relegated my worn out cheap nippers to first cut duties. My Dispae definite has a slightly thicker blade than the SPNs so they can't get as close as the SPNs. If you're mostly straight built then Godhands are a huge time saver along with a glass file.
What’s a glass file?
@@Syclone0044 Check the Gunprimer Raser. They're glass files with a textured side, they're much finer than most metal files and they don't corrode and barely wear out. I highly recommend getting one, moreso than getting a top of the line nipper.
Great video! I love how you managed to pull off the nipper faceoff, I had some of the items presented here like the Nanye and Dispae 3.0. I wanted to buy a God Hand nipper (red) but went for the Dispae 3.0 instead and you are right about the packaging and the performance.
👌
It would have been helpful if you said where each product was made. My opinion.
Its quite interesting that a lot of these shares similar mechanical designs
I mean you can only do so much when the tool needs to be able to fit in cramped areas, (so thin profile) be comfortable in the hand (so a gentle curve of the handles) and be *very* reliable (with a very simple pivot and spring system) don't want to over design it and the final product to be less useful than your bog standard tool.
cool comparison! i’m not too worried about stress marks since i intend to paint all my models so i’ve been really happy with the $15 Godhand PN-125.
Tamiya actually makes quite a few different ones. I have the 74035 which is a slightly shorter blade. I get pretty good results from them. Not godhand level, but also a fraction of the price. That said I might consider a couple of those others next time I need nippers.
I use the Tamiya nippers to cut the piece off the runner and then a pair of the Godhand nippers to cut closer to the piece. I feel like the Tamiya is a good ‘workhorse’ but not great for precision like the Godhand!
I really like the instruction manual holder. Very cool idea.
Awesome. I love my God hands, but it's nice to know that comparable nippers are out there at more reasonable prices when the time comes.
I bought that Dspiae from another video of yours and love them.
Those usa gundam nippers look just like the hobbytown house brand I picked up a couple months ago, same cap too. They've been great so far
I honestly like my DSPIAE every bit as much as my God Hands
I have those Tamiya cutters. (I use them as my first cut before cleanup with Dspiae 3.0) definitely NOT single blade, so not surprising they didn't do well, they're decent for the price though, for a general use cutter.
The big thing when tools produce similar quality results, is how they age and wear. Can you get correct new springs easily? How good is the heat treat on the blade? Etc….
Very good point. I have found the more expensive ones can be fragile. I tend to stuck with mid priced and lower quality cut as I invariably get them damaged at some point.
@@voodoonights1671 The conflict is fragile means it stays sharp. Harder the temper, longer the blade lasts, but the more brittle the metal is.
Springs are easy to find. Just crack open a few click pens
@@tylerttinsley the ones in plier like tools is usually smaller diameter than most pen springs. Depends again on the specifics of the finer details of the design.
@@mzaite I have replaced two springs in nippers like this. and it worked like a charm.
Excellent Video! I appreciate the extra tips of setting up the runners to not put stress back into the part...I never thought of that!
Yes I couldn't agree more! Thank you for commenting this so I would actually rewatch the beginning to get this expert tip! I originally just skipped ahead to hear his review of the usagundam store ones.
Would love to see a vid on how you perform “maintenance” on these to keep these sharp and polished
Yea they don’t come with any instruction really. What does the screw on the side if the hinge even do? Tension?
@@mzaite he explained it at 5:50
@@mzaite The screw is adjusted so that the blade and anvil just touch and no more, which reduces blade wear and stops the blade digging into the anvil causing damage to the face of the anvil. The other pin above the hinge stops the jaws opening too far.
@@eddiebruv Oh it limits opening! Cheers!
@@itsagundam79 Not the closing one on the arm, the other one, that's apparently to limit opening.
My favorite type of review video, one that validates a purchase I've already made! LoL.
To be serious, it's interesting that the Godhands do indeed remain the top performers to compare everything against, but of course not the best value. If/when mine break I'll be back so I can pick a replacement.
If someone would have asked me if I'd ever consider spending an hour watching a video about plastic nippers I'd have replied, "What do you think I am? Sane?! Of course I'd watch it!"
So uh.. here I am.
My USAGS nippers are wearing out so I’m inclined to get the Dspiae. I also use Dspiae panel line scribing bits and they are pretty high quality. I guess I just like red things lol
I found that only one instance you need to buy godhand or similar when you are snap build.
Think about it, if you have to paint it anyway, you need to cut it, sand it and paint.
The nub mark is not important at all as I have to sand it away anyway.
I only use Tamiya 123 and I had Godhand before and I found no difference if you have to sand it anyway.
I found out recently that GodHand actually makes a less expensive single-edge nipper. It's the PNS-135, and it has a more traditional leaf spring design.
WAVE makes a single cutter also , I bought mine 5 years ago for 14 euro from hobby link japan.. very good cutter.
+1
I love my pair but i broke them
the Vaultcan suprised me since i own a pair and mine have never left a white anything and cut just as good as my Dspiae do ,maybe it is a quality control problem idk
I've been using the same God Hand sp120 for 7 years. They've build 4 PG, 30+ MG, countless RG and HG and all sorts of other model kits. I honestly don't think anything matches them.
They've been dropped and work horses for without any issues. There are a couple of rules I follow.
1. I clean and oil
2. No clear parts
3. Never first cut
I've been using cheaper nippers for the first cut and then for the nub removal before cleaning.
Honestly, I've never found another set that comes close even when it is so worn. I picked up the ST03 from Dispae and while close their blade isnt as sharp as my worn SPN 120.
I actually have the Valtcans and they dont leave any stress marks for me at all. Have been a great pair of nippers for me.
Thanks very much for the very comprehensive review, this is highly appreciated.
The last nipper (Hobby Mio) is actually pretty good, I used it to cut MG Nu Gundam ver Ka mechanical clear version and it cuts as clean as the God Hand to my surprise. The spring is a bit lacking and the grip design is quite weird but I love it because it's pretty much rust-resistant unlike the God Hand (I'm now on my third GH nipper).
I can confirm that the Tamiya pretty much sucks and should be avoided like the plague.
The other Hobby MIo would be my choice if ever my GH is starting to rust again.
It's just wild that I watched this years ago only to end up buying something not it this list which is the PLAMOKOJO - PMKJ025. Cuts the same as the DSPIAE ST-A 3.0 but has replaceable blades. I was glad I bought it because I accidentally dropped it one time and it chipped the cutting side so I went and bought replacement blades which is 14 dollars but in packs of 3.
Wow small world, I actually have them and doing a review of them this week
@@barbatosrex9473 I was actually disappointed at first because it always leave white marks, turns out my technique is trash and I was snipping them too fast. and just today I accidentally dropped it again breaking my 2nd cutting blade. If i bought a godhand I would have cried T_T
Literally watch an hour about an dude talk about clippers. Well worth it. Thanks for your dedication and time.
I dont think HM109 is bad. Personality, i think it's way more better than sta 3.0. The problem is you can't hold that properly, you should try to hold it with your bare hand and try again.
I didn't know there was single blade nippers, I'm just an old school model car builder how do you get in close to a part if one side is a flat anvil? Those robot kits look cool I didn't know there was such a thing.
Got a Dspiae cause getting a God Hand is hard.
Needle Juice, Needle Juice, Needle Juice! lol.
I got the hobbyMio bundle and im damn certain the nippers are identical to the 108's you have, they are about £40 over here yet the novice bundle box that includes loads of other stuff and that was £45, includes A5 mat, hobby knife (metal) plenty of sand paper and carbon holders, one of those part tools and tweezers, just insane value where the rest of the kit is at least an extra £25 or more.
are there any that could be easier to use with arthritis BUT leave nice clean nubs? i would normally razor them down to invisibility and sand seams before painting, but things have become pretty painful (and possibly dangerous) in that department lately. i already have godhands, im mostly trying to find something with a longer handle (i think) and less action.
Great and thorough review. Always glad to have links to these products.
Thanks for sharing your information, I didn't know there was so many cutters available. Let alone the differences between them. Keep up the great work.
I'm almost certain that USAGS nippers use the same manufacturer as Gundam Planet. At least for the1.0 nippers, they look and feel identical, with only the logo stamp being different.
I just use my toenails clipper 😂
YIKES. I can’t imagine the kind of stress marks that could leave on the piece!
Where did you get that instruction manual holder?
amzn.to/4dYOD53
Thanks for the quick reply.
I personally own a lot of these but in directly comparison madworks is the closest to godhand. And it's only less than 1/2 of the cost.
I bought the WisePro nippers a year or so ago based on a previous test you did and they've been good. Recently I've noticed that the blade gets skewed a little when meeting the anvil side and adjusted the stopper a bit which seems to have helped. At the relative bargain price I won't feel so bad if they need to be replaced. I'd love to know what the general lifespan of these extremely fine-edged and expensive nippers is, actually.
The same as any other reputable brand's.
Thanks for the video, it was a great source of information. I’m new to the hobby and been wanting to upgrade my nippers this video help a lot thanks you earned a new subscriber!
I have a green handled set of Wise Pros you recommended from an earlier review. They work great. Can't see paying that much for the Godhands.
You have great videos. You really helped out with the airbrush & compressor. Got both you recommended at the time. I need close cut nippers for 3d printing where removing supports can be a pain. The single blade cutters seem to work on the edge of a sprue where a support in 3d printing may be off the edge. Will these work for nubs, sprues or supports not on the edge? Any suggestions would be great as well. Thanks!!
Absolutely, my friend 3D prints and he uses a couple of these here exclusively
I have the Trumpeter/ Master tools ones and they are doing nice job for lower price.
I do the other tamiya double blade cutters to remove from sprues and then do a tight cut with the spn120 godhands. For gunpla foil plated you definitely need the godhands
Great video man, appreciate it
Thank you my friend 👍
great vid, cant wait to see that new panel liner as well
I watched your comparison on these nippers and bought the dspiae nippers and found that there is no clean up at all thanks for doing this video 👍
You're welcome John
I use the stedi nippers, but I’m thinking on getting those PN-120s
I got some Madworks single-bladed nippers from Newtype last year for about 40 bucks and they're magic. So good.
I have those too work excellent
I have a set of the USA gundams and they suck.
6:34 "NICE F**IN MODEL paints!" /jk
All of these look good compared to the xuron nippers I started with lol
20:35 that's when I placed my order for a pair of Godhands. I really wish I could have waited to see all 14 others but at that point I was sold, so why bother. I did watch the rest of the video, but still. If someone isn't convinced after that first red part, nothing will ever convince them I guess hehe
They truly are the best and actually worth the price
You have many cutters, i can use only a nail cutters
Godhands 5.0 for 60E or Dispae 3.0 for 50E ...
Cost is a major factor here for sure. Tough to beat half price. The Dspiae are great nippers for sure
@@barbatosrex9473 I figure that my FLGS went to the effort of getting in godhands (they're more a wargame/model car place, not gundam) and if I'm paying 50 to amazon I might as well pay +10 to my FLGS for the better option anyway! Also have 2 gundams (unicorn 1/144 and norn 1/144) on the way 🙂
Thanks!
You're welcome my friend. You guys are the best out there
Please review ENGINEER MICRO NIPPERS
Great call on the black gloves. The camera focus was very smoothe compared to your other videos
Yes !
Milwaukee just came out with a tiny little nipper for $12, got to do the test all over again
Oh no...
Sixty bucks for a pair of nippers - ABSURD! As a recreational model builder my five dollar nippers work just fine.
Great review 👍🏻👍🏻
The big drawback to the SPN-120 godhands is that you have to really baby them or they'll fail on you. For the Nanye/Ansai you got yours overpriced (I got mine for ~7 USD with pouch and oil). They're not very good single blade nippers but they're super affordable and a step up from the knockoff Plato cutters that people in SE Asian territories are used to. They do rust easily though. Great informative video overall
You're on point there, that's why I think the last Hobby MIo is a godsend. It's rust-resistant and cuts as clean as GH. I've been avoiding all the Chinese nippers that come with maintenance oils and was glad when Hobby Mio made one maintenance-free at last.
Awesome review on the different designs of nippers. I had no idea about the single edge blade tech.
Super useful, thank you!
I'd be curious how these hold up over time (assuming they're used properly). Amazon reviews suggest many of these just don't hold up too well. There's not much "meat" on these cutting blades. Does anyone have any feedback on a brand that's holds up well under frequent use?
I use two of them so one doesn't wear out. The blue GodHands and the Dspiae. Both are still as new. But it's a tough call because I use two of them
My only complaint is they are to fragile. I had a tip break on a normal sprue Warhammer 40k. I got the ones that 54 dollar one. Is the 65 dollar ones better? I like the harbor frieght micro flat cutter. I use them to cut a little deeper on the sprue then clean it up with god hand.
Those are basicly sharper
If I have a dual blade could I just file one side to be dull to get better results? Obviously I could just buy a single blade but I'm wondering if that would work too?
Great question but I couldn't begin to give you a proper answer to that. That is something I've never thought of. You'll need to be sure the blade lands perfectly level against the flat surface
Never thought id watch nearly an hour of someone testing cutters! Good info, thanks!
Me either but it turned out to be a good time. Thanks for watching and welcome aboard
I was lucky enough to find a pair of GHPN120 in Japan for 4000 yen (the SP were sold out everywhere, and for good reason), otherwise in Australia a pair goes for $100AUD
I'm going to say it just like I say it everywhere else. You don't need the godhand, the true winner is sanding or glass files. You'll need a good nipper though which can be any single blade nipper and the double cut method is preferred ...but how else can you say (and be cringe?) to someone on here or twitter/reddit: I'm building kits using my GODHANDS!
saul goodman building kits now
Been using Gundam Planet single blades nippers for a while now, just recently purchased the God Hand SPN-120, and I can honestly say there isn't much of a difference between the two. Check the GP ones out if you get the chance.
just curious but wouldn't the best snippers be from like a hardware store as opposed to specifically model snippers
Hardware store nippers crush the plastic instead of cutting. They're dual blade which isn't ideal for fine cuts for model building. These are single blade, it's one blade and one side is like an anvil. So the single blade slices thru the plastic very clean
I got a pair of Godhand nippers in 2020, and got some pretty bad blisters due to the texture of the nipper grips. Worse, the second I tried to cut a slightly thicker sprue on a runner they snapped like twigs. I replaced them with USAGundam Store's nippers which were effectively half the price while lacking the skin irritation, and I've been using them without issue ever since. Those might not be for everyone, but I don't suggest GodHand to anyone at all.
Hey bro, i got an odd question to ask .. I'm more of a Warhammer Kinda guy but we both use the same tools of the trade haha .. thing is ... Those GodHand Nippers..are they loud? Im asking because my Girlfriend suffers from Misophonia and when im watching TV with her while building my Minis, the clipping sound drives her nuts.I heard from someone that those Nippers do more Cutting then "crunching" the plastic - therefore are much quiter. is this true ?
I have both God hand tool and build several Gundam Model kit. I have to say the SPN120 is better then the PN120. I also have carpet and drop both nipper and none seem damage and still use to this day. The SPN120 seem sharper and provide a slightly better than the PN120. Some cut on the SPN120 are so clean, I wouldn't notice there was a nub there to began with.
The two brand I use the most to make my kit as cleanly as possible since I do not paint them is GodHand nipper and Gunprimer glass file (Raiser I believe it called) and balancer.
Always GREAT information...thank you - Happy Easter!
Happy Easter and God bless my friend
It seems that, besides the overall quality, the ultimate test for a great nipper is durability in time. Most of the budget products seem to be great but will they endure extensive use?
If Anyone would like to to share their experiences after using any of these nippers regularly it'd be great.
Great video thanks!
I love my Valtcan nippers, saw them once in a live stream years ago as an alternative for God hands. They where 13 bux back then. Wish i bought another pair.
I noticed that you didn't run a pair of the MadWorks series.. maybe next time grab ya one and check them out as well. can grab them from Newtype ( MH-03 ) just a thought for maybe a next nipper video. good job Sir even had a few that I've never heard of..
Maybe I missed a previous episode , do u have recommendations for high quality brand tweezer sets , from super fine work to general holding .. I’m tired of the tips getting deformed etc…
Any chance to test the GodHand KPN-95s and the RUITOOL single blade nipper?
Great video, but you actually have two different types of tools in this video. The Tamiya, and a few others are traditional flush cutters, with semetrical cutting blades. Most of the ones below like the Godhands have one sharp cutting edge, and one flat/dull edge. They are actually two different tools, used for two different things. The Godhands are meant for a final fully flush trimming of your parts, while the others are meant to do rough trimming. I just think it would be worth mentioning that.
May I ask if you sale any of your model kits for I am looking to get a model for when I put them out altogether my stress level goes from skyrocketing down really low it calms my nerves calms me down makes me forget what I am upset about what I’m nervous about what I’m just not having stress level stress about it just calms me down it’s it’s my way of getting my sanity taken care of
In Australia I have a pair of single blade cutters from Jaycar, $50 roughly. Have a pair for work and home. They cut like butter threw zip ties and copper wiring all day, broke the first pair when I was a bit ambitious and tried to cut 16mm multi strand copper earth cable instead of using the parrot beaks. The home pair like new only having to deal with sprue and resin supports.
