Cutting parts off the sprues is a revelation, and the blade slices through styrene like it almost isn’t there. When these cutters finally become dull I'll make another post giving my impression of the tool in terms of it's entire life cycle. With very little tension, hold your nipper up to the light; if light shines through, the cutter is no longer functioning properly and would not be giving a complete cut; and if you can squeeze the nipper past what it closes up to, there’s a good chance that it may be damaged in some way. GodHand Ultimate Nipper is a nipper that specialises in gate cutting in pursuit of the "ultimate cut".

To build your model you must cut the parts free, and the goal is to make as little mess as possible, avoiding damaging the parts, slicing yourself into small chunks, and scarring the desk below.Articulation is limited to the neck, shoulders, hips and ankles; limbs are molded in 1-3 pieces each and are hollow on one side. The first cut away from the part prevents mistakes that might see you having to repair the part you intended to cut free, especially small parts where it’s difficult to see where the part ends and the sprue gate begins.

They're a good tool, definitely better than the nippers I owned previously, but I also feel that they don't quite live up to the hype. They are specialty nippers renowned for their sharpness that are perfect for precise cutting, so you can obtain a smooth surface with a minimum of scraping, sanding, and polishing. Making sprue gate marks disappear can be difficult to manage at times, especially with some types of styrene, so getting the best start will make it more achievable with less effort, so it’s a winner hands-down. I did a comparison of my old crude Lux cutter against the GH nipper on one of the runners of my new Gun Tiger (review coming soon; tiny tiny kit but packed with lots of detail! Real Grade Gundam (RG) is a line of Gundam Kits that was first introduced in 2010 as part of Bandai 30th Anniversary Commemoration Project.It's not something that I would be seeing, but I invested a lot of time and money in my keyboard and I knew it would make me feel better to go that extra bit and really keep every detail clean and neat.

Action Bases, Paints, Panel Liners, Nippers and Sanding tools we have to things to help you build your perfect kit. Proper maintenance and usage will ensure that your nippers will stay in good condition and last a long time. GODHAND Nippers are high-quality carbon steel nippers made especially for cutting plastics and resins. These are my first pair of nippers ever as I just got into the hobby so I can't compare them to anything else.

However, the blade is strong enough to cut a wide variety of materials, including plastics, without difficulty! Unlike the more direct comparison I did between Tamiya's sharp pointed nippers and Xuron's professional nippers I won't be performing a direct cut for cut comparison between specific nippers. Keep in mind to check if the grub screw is perfectly in place before locking it completely with a flat plier. Godhand seem to have stepped up their UK presence recently making these a bit more affordable than they were. But since they’re made of steel they will still dull after a while so try not to use them more often than necessary.

Got my new GodHand Ultimate Nipper in the mail the other day so I figured I might as well try and do a review on them because why not.For gate cutting of plastic modelsSoft grip" for easy gripping and patented "packing spring" technologySpecifications:Length: approx. Once you’ve read and digested the instructions above, you can use the nippers with impunity, and you won’t be disappointed. Depending on the shape of the piece, even if you cut as close to the part as possible, you might still have a tiny (emphasis on ‘tiny’) leftover of the gate that needs to be sanded off or shaved with an xacto knife (which always chops up my thumb… need to find a way to avoid that). They are known for their unique and innovative designs, as well as their commitment to using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques.
