      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.

    • @ying3966
      @ying3966 Год назад +1

      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.

  • @funnylove04071998

    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.

      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

  • @albertko1
    @albertko1 Год назад +9

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

Also have 2 gundams (unicorn 1/144 and norn 1/144) on the way 🙂

    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

    • @dolyharianto
      @dolyharianto Год назад +2

      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.

    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?

    • @barbatosrex9473
      @barbatosrex9473  7 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @Tomzo711

    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?

      @barbatosrex9473  2 месяца назад

    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!

    • @barbatosrex9473
      @barbatosrex9473  8 месяцев назад

      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

  • @desshinta9428
    @desshinta9428 8 месяцев назад

    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.

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 ?

  • @aznanimelova
    @aznanimelova 8 месяцев назад

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
