  • Here I test out over 20 hobby nippers. I tried to get every known brand for the hobby but I may have missed a few. For example I don't have a Testors brand here buy upon research the Testors nipper is made by Xuron of which I tested here. I also don't go into great depths testing each one as it would have taken too long to film so what I did was compare the closest cut against each piece off a runner. This way we can see how close each one gets and if it leaves any discoloration or whiting of the plastic after the cut.
    I did my best to keep the camera in focus, that was the hardest part.

    I’ve recently found the best nippers I’ve ever used on Amazon. They are accurate, flush cutting, and seem durable. They are not made for hobbies but rather for electronics and therefore not expensive. I liked them so much I bought about 5 of them to have around the workshop.
    IGAN-330 wire flush cutters if it’s okay to post that here.
    The worst experience I’ve had was with Xuron nippers. Not only were they expensive because they were “hobby” nippers, but the supposedly flush tip was misaligned slightly.

    This was a delightful video! I have been building models for many, many years and a good sprue cutter (or cutters) is an essential tool. I have had a set of the "Precision Sprue Cutters" (the ones that look like tweezers) for over 15 years and they are still sharp and going strong! I save them for very fine parts and I try to treat them with care. That's the real trick of sprue cutters. I use a lot of different media in my building and NOTHING will ruin a nice cutter like using it for wire or other metal (bloody obvious, but it had to be said). I admit that I do use some xuron cutters that I buy cheap for wire trimming wire parts. Your review was very interesting. I have tried a few of those brands and I will probably end up trying a couple more :-) The only problem with a review like this is that there is no way to follow up on blade life. It's worth buying the expensive cutters if the blades hold up. I'm looking forward to more tool comments and reviews.

  • @rickperez5772

    For me, it really boils down between the Godhands and the Micro Mark. While the Godhand seems to be perfect for getting the stubs as short as possible without any additional work. They both offer extremely great performance. The Micro especially offers little to no discoloration from your testing, and even though it might not allow to you to cut as short as the Godhand, every gunpla builder will realistically be doing sanding work anyways.
    Used your coupon code and have a Micro Mark pending fulfillment. Thank you so much for your help!

    I was laughing so hard as you said that the video will be longer than the lord of the rings trilogy. Thank you very much for this review. I also do hobby tool reviews (yet only reg. blog articles) and your videos are just great and more importantly, your reviews feel very honest and I really appreciate that. A quick recommendation if you plan an update video: Look also for 3.peaks (MK-02, SPN-145S, KPN-125G-S, ...). Also: Single blade nippers are meant to be used and aligned with the blunt side touching the outside border of the part when cutting the remaining nub mark (thats why the Fujiya and some other single blade nippers delivered a rough result on the parts where as the round gates have been fine. They have been used the wrong way, while this fact to place and use them in a specific way restricts single blade nippers in some usage situations).

    When I worked as a machine operator for a fairly large US plastic injection molding company, the Xuron 170-II's were what we used to trim plastic parts fresh out of the press. For huge runners we used the 2175 Maxi-Shear from Xuron. Consequently those are what I've always used for modeling. I buy the 170-II's in batches of three or four. They do wear out over time. I'm not really sure what the difference is between the 410 and the 170-IIs other than handle color!

    • @darkwood777
      @darkwood777 3 года назад +1

      Hardness of the cutters I think. Some Xurons will cut hard metal like steel, while others should only be used to cut soft metal like copper. I think the blade angle also can differ depending on what is to be cut.

    Those Citadel cutters, I tried using them in the Citadel shop when I was deciding whether I could model or not. I'm disabled, only one of my hands work, the medication I have to take makes my hands sweat really badly (I went from not being sweaty at all to sweating buckets, it's mostly water rather than actual sweat though so it's weird. I'm not smelly sweaty just drippy sweaty 😂) and I kept dropping the cutters. I gave up in the end and broke the pieces out of the sprue with my hand and my nose... Still a better finish on the pieces than the Citadel cutters which is a shame, I like the look of them and the colour is unique and interesting but as Jason Knight (Master Bladesmith) "asthetics are secondary to function". Maybe Citadel should get a Master Bladesmith to look over their cutters!

    Thank you so much for everything you have put up. They are awesome and super informative. Please keep up the good work. One question I have regarding gunpla is the painting process. Example. Should I prime, paint, top glosscoat, panel line, gloss varnish in this order or can preshade eliminate the need to panel line and in turn save a few extra layers of Clearcoat? A video of ur entire paintain process would be great. Thank in advance and keep up the good work

    • @barbatosrex9473
      @barbatosrex9473  3 года назад +1

      The steps you listed are correct however you could skip the last top coat unless you have decals. I prefer matt coats on my Gunpla but you will need a glossy coat for the panel lining. That being said, preshading would eliminate the need for panel lining as it takes its place on kit

On top of everything, one of the blades on mine is not 100% straight and the axle has just a little play so one blade rides on top of the other. Not good for the money. I'm saving up for some of the best ones you tested.

    Great job mate, super mega ultra comparative, a lot of work.
    Performance + cost + shipping cost, obviously different markets give different availability and situations. DSPAE and others in the comparison are best buy on AliExpress (cheaper), I suggest you, if you still don't know the brand, take a look at UStar products (Taiwanese), they have a very wide and interesting catalog, with quality/price - medium/high compared to Chinese cheaper products. The Chinese DSPAE has an interesting Tamiya copy carving-chisel line. My Trumpeter clipper is single blade, same price as MicroMark, maybe finished a little better, however regardless of budget I think 25$ is the cap for a clippers, there are so many tools to put on the bench that you would have to be a millionaire to get only AAA like Godhand/Mr.HOBBY/Tamiya tools. Cheers 🍻

I'm always trying to look for a good cheaper set of single edge nippers as well. The micro marks I've seen go for as low as $16 from their website a while back. Bummer I didn't jump on them. I think the sweet spot is around $25-$30 for a single edge nipper now.

      Wisepro is a great choice. Also check in the description, I posted a 10% off code for Micro Mark, making them close to $20, a great price for them. Also you can use the code for anything on the site

    Great test! I normally use nail clippers that you can get at the dollar store. They cut as well as the $30 cutters, so I won't be changing them for any cutter you tested. I would like to see this test run on model kits with relatively large sprues, like Roden or Hobby Boss kits. Those are always difficult to work with.

Oh and to update you on how the rustoleum painter’s touch aluminum spray can as a base for alclad’s candy color it works, but I had to decant the paint in order to achieve the results I wanted. It sprayed too much paint out of the can so after decant and pouring it into my airbrush I was able get smoother results on the parts. 👍

    Very nice test, I think it would have been easier for you (and us) in a 2 Camera setup. The good Camera at a fixed focus point for the close shots and even a smartphone came could have worked for the cutting action.
    Keep on doing what you do, never thought I would watch a video someone cutting sprues with nipper for one hour seven.

    You should watch Paul Budzik channel scale model workshop he gives a great explanation of different types of cutters. Btw he is a master model builder. Those high end use a blade and anvil type cut that is why the parts don’t go flying across the room. They slice not chop like the lower end ones.

    I've got the Tamiya 123 and they're great - the blades are long and thin and let's you get into crowded sprues. They're forged, not stamped like Xuron and that's more important than one or two blades. God Hand's are excellent if you can get at the part properly. I had bad luck with the Dspiae.
