About product

Mr. Ultra Single Blade Nipper from Gunze

Modeling nippers with a single blade, that is the tool with which a part is separated from the sprue when building plastic models. Unlike ordinary two-blade nippers, the single-blade type has a flat bearing face opposite the cutting edge. The cut is therefore smoother and a smaller sprue nub is left on the part, so the subsequent cleaning up is shorter and the plastic is deformed less at the cut.

How to work with the nippers

  • Nip the part off with a margin first and only then level the remaining nub.
  • Keep the flat side of the tool toward the part and the blade toward the waste.
  • Keep the fine edge to plastic only; metal and photo-etched parts will damage it.
  • Wipe the edge after work and store the tool so that nothing presses on the blade.

Why the single-blade type is worth it

With two-blade nippers the plastic is squeezed from both sides as it is nipped and the place of the cut often goes lighter. A single-blade tool markedly reduces that effect, which shows especially on darkly colored plastic and on small parts, where sanding would risk losing the shape. A tool with a thin edge is sensitive to overloading, though: keep your older nippers for rough work and heavy sprues and save this tool for finishing cuts.

Who the tool is for

It will be appreciated by modelers who dislike white marks from nipping and who want to cut down the time spent over abrasive paper, and by builders of kits with a large number of small parts, where the cleanness of every cut adds up.

A sharp tool. Keep out of the reach of children and protect your eyes when nipping small parts, as flying pieces of plastic are unpleasant.

FAQ

They have a flat bearing face opposite the cutting edge, so the plastic is squeezed less as it is nipped and the cut is smoother.

We do not recommend it. The thin edge is meant for plastic; metal will chip it and you will ruin the tool for good.

They will not, but they will markedly shorten the work with it. Leveling the remaining nub is still recommended.

Wipe the edge after work and store it so that nothing presses on the blade. The blade must not rest against other tools.
