Could use a tighter screw. Works well. Like the protective cover, too.

Maybe I'm being unfair here. When I ordered these, I was remembering my days with plastic models, and I wanted to extend that need for precision to my more recent hobbies.Man, I put together a lot of models back in the day. And when I tore open that box from Revell, I just wanted to be finished. Shaving or sanding the nubbins off the parts was torture, and I ruined more than one endeavor by rushing it. I was much more about the product than the process. Wow, what a great pair of nippers would have done for me back then.A decade or four later, the process is really the only thing that matters, and quality tools are paramount. So I saw these nippers and thought they would fill a void in my toolbox.While they were sitting on my desk awaiting my writing of this review, I needed to cut a guitar string and there they were. They succeeded, but there is a visible notch in one of the blades.When I squeeze the handles together, they stop when the blades meet. But if I squeeze a little harder, with a click the blades will push past each other. This just tells me that the engineering of these snips is a little shabby.If you've read this far and are wondering how I gave this tool three stars, I'll just say that maybe my expectations weren't fair. They're handy little nippers and maybe for their specified task they are plenty good enough.

I was impressed that anything related to Gundam was being offered in the Vine program, and I quickly grabbed these for my husband (who owns more Gundam model kits than anyone I know - hundreds). He and I have both used them, and they're pretty standard for nippers. DO NOT USE THEM ON METAL! I was appalled to see another reviewer had done that. They're not wire cutters, they're nippers for plastic models that need to be cut from sprues. And for that, they're perfect.

With two avid modelers in the house, this tool has received lots of use over the past couple of months.The report from the pros is that it's comfortable to use, clean snips and its still sharp. At first I thought this was a bit expensive, but after having it in use for a good period of time, it's clearly worth the price. 5 stars.

I got these to help cut zip ties that come on different items where a normal pocket knife or scissors might not do the trick. These have very sharp and very think tips so they can get a good hold of the zip tie without damaging the item such as a cable or a cord. They also seem to have a slight curve on them that allow you to cut something flush which I’m sure will come in handy in the future. A big plus is the protective sleeve that covers the very sharp point.

I was warned when I began working/painting miniatures a good pair of 'nippers' is first and foremost. Yeah I've been learning. It's not just the sharpness; it's the angle, the spring and how it holds. These have a bit too deep of a blade angle for some finer nipping, but for larger and medium size it works great.Handle is comfortable, comes with a guard sheath and the spring is good. Prices range on these but the price for this one didn't break the bank. Blade is easy to clean and the handle holds well if I wipe due to getting a little paint on them.Hoping the blade lasts a long time. Decent pair. Decent price.

Cuts through plastic very well and feels great in my hand. Nice and durable too. Feels springy and responsive.

I needed a good quality cutter for printed circuit work to snip the leads of of resisters, transistors, capacitors, etc. I can cut flush with the circuit board and it helps with visually inspecting the board for shorts. Great quality.
