RUITOOL Model Nippers for Beginners, 4.7" Single Blade Nipper for Gunpla

Excellent single blade, flush cutting nippers. I've been building scale models for 54 years and these are as good as any I've used. I will buy these again next time I need nippers. Expensive, brittle God Hand nippers will not make me a better builder. These work just as well and I have an extra $40 in my pocket.

I’ve tried a few different model nippers over the years, and these have become my go-to pair. They make clean cuts with very little stress on the plastic, leaving much smaller nub marks than the budget options I started with. I also own the “upgraded” orange version from the same brand, and honestly, I prefer these. They feel better in my hand, make cleaner cuts, and have been more consistent overall. I find myself reaching for these every time I start a new kit. If you’re looking for a solid pair of single-blade nippers without spending premium GodHand money, these are an excellent choice. They’ve performed well on every kit I’ve built, and I’d happily buy them again.

I recently got back into gunpla after a twenty year hiatus. I was trying to keep my tool kit and overall expenses at a minimum so I dismissed the thought of a second pair of nippers, I was absolutely wrong! I decided to give these a try because they had great reviews and were very reasonably priced. This ha e absolutely changed the game for me and have made my overall workflow much quicker, easier, and cleaner. They are very well built, high quality, and sharp. They make a clean smooth cut that is very precise. If you take your time to use these appropriately you won't even need to use a knife/hobby blade and you will need very minimal sanding. One important piece of information: these do not replace your regular thick "cheap" nippers, you still want to use those to make the initial cut off the runner. These are used for a second cut to remove the remaining nub left on the part. You may ask yourself why you need a second pair of nippers but the blade on these is much thinner, sharper, and flatter. They cut the nub flush on the part without damage. Just a small amount of light sanding and you are ready to move on. With the simple addition of these nippers I was able to prep all the parts for an entire HG gunpla kit in about 20 minutes, this previously took a few hours with a hobby knife and multiple rounds of sanding.

As a beginner to the world of Gunpla, I was intimidated by the tiny parts and the need for clean cuts. These RUITOOL nippers have been an absolute lifesaver! Here's a breakdown: Sharp and precise: These nippers cut through plastic like butter, leaving a clean edge with minimal stress marks. No more ugly nub marks ruining my builds! Comfortable grip: The handles are surprisingly comfortable, even after a long building session. My hands didn't cramp up at all. Durable: They feel sturdy and well-made. I've been using them for a few weeks now, and they're still as sharp as the day I got them. Great for beginners: These nippers are easy to control and make clean cuts a breeze, even for someone with shaky hands like me. Excellent value: For the price, these nippers are an absolute steal. They perform just as well as some of the more expensive brands. These are a fantastic choice and have made building so much more enjoyable.

For the price you can NOT go wrong with these nippers. They cut cleanly, can remove mold lines, are comfortable, and are very high quality for the price However, the metal is very malleable and I do not recommend using these for ANYTHING except injection molded plastic (games workshop, tamiya, etc.) as even gently gripping another metal (glue nozzle for citadel glue) slightly dents the blade. Aside from the sub-stellar durability, these are AMAZING nippers. I recommend you use these and buy expensive professional ones in the future when these wear out. Overall 9/10.

I bought the 1.0 nippers and I've built 9 kits with these now I've her thenlm for about 8 months give or take and I will say this they are great I build Gunpla and I started with a basic set of nippers and I tried a friends god hands spn120s or something like that for almost 70 bucks and I honestly like these better. They are sharp and cut very clean and smooth barely and clean up they cut easy and smooth the case they come with is nice god hand just has a fake leather cover these have all the leather cover and a hard case to protect them more the purple 1.0 are honestly a little better than the orange 3.0

I looked at several expensive single blade nippers for model making and chose this model and brand. I have been completely satisfied. This is a tool for fine work with plastic models, balsa wood and other light materials like Polystyrene.

I feel spoiled with these, holy cow! I was using just craft store cheap nippers for my Gundam and I don't think I can ever go back. These cut like butter and nip so close to the pieces I don't have to spend forever sanding and fixing up cuts after the fact. I seriously suggest these as a person gift to yourself or a gift for anyone you know who likes doing plastic model kits, they are awesome! I'm excited to purchase the higher quality ones when I start on my perfect grades later this year!

Apesar de ser um produto internacional, pedi e chegou em menos de 7 dias. Diferente de outros alicates que tive, este é excelente e corta muito macio o plástico! Já vem com proteção e um estojo de acrílico, além de um pano de microfibra para limpeza após o uso. Com relação à entrega, veio em uma caixa super-bem protegida, então recomendo demais!

I cannot rate these highly enough after using some cheap clippers from Army Painter these cut through sprews like butter, well worth the cost ...does make me wonder how much better more expensive versions can really be. But safe to say this is an easy 5 stars for me

Bought these to use with my 3D printing projects and much sharper than the cheap set that came with the printer. The included cover protects the blades.

Great tool. Handy for removing parts fron sprues

Not the best out there but will get the job done. Get a glass file for clean up.
