Tamiya brand offers a great collection of side cutters for model builders. They include the Tamiya 74123, 74035, and 74129 among others. All these cutters are great and nicely built to high Japanese standards. They are forged from steel, well-machined, and nicely sharpened.

Cercherò d'essere il più coinciso possibile ma c'è tanto da dire,quindi se siete interessati al cutter in questione e desiderate un parere onesto e dettagliato,mettetevi comodi. Most scale modelers in the Gunpla community swear by the Godhand nippers. These are arguably the cream of the crop of nippers. IMO, they are the best cutting pliers for plastic model kits. I have had a pair of each for six years and they are now beginning to lose their sharpness and act like 'normal' cutters so I'm looking around to find the cheapest supplier in time to treat myself for Christmas. In use they are sharp enough that they don't tear the plastic but cut cleanly, leaving little or no further clean up required. I smile every time I use them. I will cry when I have to pay for my next pair!

However, the blades are not exceptionally terrific. They also cannot stay sharp longer than the forged alternatives.

The nippers Tamiya 74123 are profiled and covered with a rough, non-slip material. They fit well in the hand, regardless of whether we hold them with all fingers or not. The range of motion is small and the pressure distribution is very smooth. Overall length is 115 mm and weighs 70 g. Although the cutting part is made of hard and heavy tool steel, the product is very well balanced and the center of gravity is properly centered. If you are looking for single-sided nippers for plastic models that are almost the same standard as Godhand but not as expensive, then these Gundam nippers 2.0 are the real deal. They are made in the USA. Like the Godhand, these Gundam 2.0 sprue cutters have a stopper screw for preventing excess stress on the blade. You should set it every day before using the pliers to keep the blade safe. Therefore, since most of the cutting of sprues involves getting in tight spots, you would be wise to get sprue cutters with sharp tapered jaws. These get in between parts better to snip them off cleanly. Handles: Are they comfortable My preferred choice is a pair of nicely forged sprue cutter pliers or nippers. In this article, I will look at my top 5 sprue cutter pliers that I would recommend to anyone in the industry of making plastic scale models either as a beginner or a professional.

Another outstanding feature that makes the Godhand 5.0 the best nippers is the super thin jaws. They cut through runners and nubs like a hot knife on butter, leaving little or no stress marks on the parts. These jaws are much thinner than the Tamiya but extremely fragile. You have to look after them very carefully or you will cry.

Out of the five best nippers shared in this article, I consider the Godhand nipper 5.0 as the gold standard for nippers. It has the thinnest jaws and cuts with a single blade. As a result, the Godhand leaves little or no stress marks on the nubs and you can use them to cut the closes to a part. Lastly, these pliers come with a protective sleeve for the jaws. As a safety precaution, you should apply the cap to the jaws when the pliers are not in use. This will protect the delicate jaws from accidental damage. I have these Tamiya nippers to build some Gunplas and Gundams and to trim off some 3D printed objects and they worked amazingly well. I have now had them for almost a year and they still look new.Also, make sure you don’t drop them on the floor because I can bet they will land on the tips and will break off. Il rivestimento nero dell'impugnatura del Tamiya,ad ogni modo,svolge il suo dovere,nonostante il suo aspetto sia estremamente più cheap di un qualsiasi altro cutter infinitamente meno caro.
