Your cart is empty.The GodHand SPN-120 Ultimate Nipper 5.0 specializes in gate cutting and pursues the "ultimate cut". Because of it's sharpness, it can obtain a smooth cut surface as if the cut had been made by a hobby knife. This cut minimizes whitening of the plastic, and the cutting marks are much cleaner than general nippers. The thin single-edged cutting blade design emphasizes sharpness. A guideline for cutting 3mm plastic is 2kg or less of force compared to 3.5kg-10kg for general nippers. Please only use these nippers for cutting plastic (PS resin, PP resin, ABS resin, and PE resin) 3mm and less. However, transparent/translucent PS resin is very hard and is not recommended to cut more than 1mm. Due to the design of the nippers, it is recommended the following: To not use excessive force when cutting. Cut as close to center of the blade as possible. Do not twist the blade while cutting or during releasing the blade. Do not cut if it doesn't fit within the length of the blade.

My husband makes miniatures, and had been talking about this product in a wishful way. I paid attention to his musings, and gave it to him for Christmas. He was over the moon, and thanks me every time he uses it.

Really cuts through plastic like butter. I was told go big or go home with these. Glad I made this purchase.

These are very sharp and cut well however the blade on mine was ground so thing it snapped in soft HDPE. It’s too late for a return so I can’t get it replaced

I do not know what these are made of, and I fear the sanity-shredding truth that would tear me apart. They cut through GW plastic like butter in a way that leaves me in shock.I always asked, "how do you get rid of the nubs after you cut plastic?" to people online, and they were just like, "lol, idk what do you mean, sounds like your nippers are old." I would get new nippers, only to find they didn't improve my situation all that much. Clipping was still difficult and often left stress-marks on the plastic.I bit the bullet, bought a new, shiny pair of clippers (these), and I audibly gasped the first time I snipped some sprue. They sliced through like butter, leaving the miniatures unstressed. This is what I've been missing.I have no idea how long they'll last - I'm writing this review 15 minutes after first using them. That being said, they left enough of an impression on me that I felt the need to leave this review, so let that speak for itself.

Well these nippers deliver super clean cuts. I was using some other $10 amazon clippers and I was spending so much time with clean up. Every piece I clipped with the other nippers required clean up, Now these have just saved me so much time. They are expensive definitely. But the amount of time these will save me will more than make up for the added price. Cut GW sprue plastic like a dream.

Never thought I'd spend $70 on a pair of nippers, but here we are.And the amount of sanding this thing has saved me from is crazy.For my first two Gundam kits I was using a $10 set and I would cut 1/8" from the piece and then trim with a hobby knife and then sand for HOURSI'm not entering competitions so I don't need microscopic perfection, so with these nippers, I can cut FLUSH to the piece and some parts need some cleaning up, but most parts don't need to be sanded at all.I'm getting my third piece cut and assembled so much more quickly?

Ordered: October 6, 2019Delivered Oct 10, 2019Snapped: January 31, 2020Great for for soft resin/plastic models. Cuts soft metal figures for trimming. Takes damage over time and I don't recommend for any cutting other than detailing. I chopped up twigs and plastic scrap. I will not purchase again as durability in not high. This 'nipper' is meant for 'nipping' and fine detailing.

Awesome nippers. A little pricey but worth the money. As long as you have it adjusted correctly and don't exceed the capacity limit. These will work great

非常に精巧に作られた工具なので取り扱いには注意と多少の慣れが必要です価格のこともあり、上中級者向け商品だと思います。取り扱いを間違うと、切れにくくなったり、曲がったり刃先が折れますそのような工具なので、性能を維持するためには適度なメンテナンスが必要です（ゴッドハンド社から専用メンテナンスキットあり）軽い力で部品を切り取ることが出来ます、ゲートをぎりぎりまで追い込んで切れるのであとが残りにくいです（通常ニッパー比）各社同様の薄刃ニッパーなどが販売されていますので、好みもあるかもしれませんが「お勧め！！」です

The GodHand SPN-120 Ultimate Nipper 5.0 is the very best nipper for building plastic models. It is superior to the Tamiya, Volks, and Xuron nippers that I have used in the past. It leaves very little stress marks on pieces when cutting. I have used mine for about a dozen Master Grade Gundam kits, and it is still sharp and in top shape (I use oil to lubricate the nipper and prevent it from rusting).The only problem is that it is expensive. It is about 3500 JPY (~30 USD) in Japan, so expect to pay about double or more than double if you're in another country. I think the Tamiya Sharp Pointed Side Cutter is superior when it comes to value for money, since the Tamiya can be found for 30 USD in the United States. However, the Tamiya also stresses plastic significantly more than the GodHand nippers, so some people (myself included) would spend a little more for the GodHand nippers.Once you buy this nipper, you will never go back to using any other. The performance is unmatched.

細いゲートはわずかな抵抗もなく、ちょっと太めでもサクどころかスッという感じで切れます。非常に切れ味の良いニッパです。息子がガンプラに目覚め私が模型用に使っているタミヤのニッパ（薄刃ではない方）を常用しだしたので、自分用に薄刃ニッパを購入。30年近く買い替えて使い続けてるタミヤ製にしようかと思いましたが、いくつかレビューを見て評判の良いこれを選択（先にレビューを書いていただいたレビュアーの皆様ありがとうございます）。価格的には高めですが、そこは息子との差ということで。届いてパッケージを見てみると、稲妻の絵と大きな「究極」の文字・・・これはもしかしてやっちゃったか？と思いましたが、その憂いは最初のカットで吹っ飛びました。とにかく軽くきれいにスッと切れる。最近のガンプラのゲートは細く薄い個所が多いため、切れた瞬間も分からないことも多かったです。今まで使ってきたタミヤ製も切れ味は決して悪くないですが、更に上と言う感覚です。パッケージ裏に記載してある情報からいくつかピックアップ。・材質は神戸製鋼所製の特殊工具鋼・全長・・・123mm・重さ・・・60g・刃部硬度・・・HRC58〜64・切断能力・・・プラ棒直径3mm（3mmを10000回切っても切れ味は落ちないとのこと）・切断可能材質・・・PS、PP、ABS、PE樹脂のみ（透明、半透明の硬いランナーは切らないこと）まだ2体程度しか作っていないため耐久性は分かりません。今後気になるところが出て来たらレビューを更新しようと思います。
