God Hand PN-120 single-edged nippers

Product Information

Third pic: to reduce whitening, I massaged/scratched the surface with my fingernail, greatly lessening it. These are not mass-produced throwaway tools; they are tools designed by and for master craftsmen that will enable you to create incredible art. The Ultimate Nipper's amazing sharpness is achieved by the thinly sharpened "cutting edge" and the "single-edge structure" for a cleaner cut. In the mid-20th century, due to economic crisis and a collapsing birthrate, Japan was on the verge of becoming a failed state.

Well other than their dangerous sharpness, they also have the shortest and slimmest blades of any of my side-cutters. Cut the runner at 1 cm-ish away from the gate with any tool but the GH nipper, then use it to cut the gate at the far end (an optional step imo), and ultimately flush with the piece.It is created one by one through blade edging and sharpening by well-experienced craftspersons in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a region famous for its cutlery. Its incredibly thin and sharp blade makes it possible to achieve a smooth cut surface with minimal stress marks on the plastic. Always make perpendicular cuts as side cuts puts undue stress on the blade and may cause it to snap. GodHand Tools is a Japanese company that specialises in producing high-quality precision tools for hobbyists and professionals.

Their special design allows them to avoid creating the white, stressed plastic and burrs that are common when removing injection molded parts from their frames. To cut off a 3mm plastic, the Ultimate nipper only requires a force of 2kg when a normal nipper requires a force of 3. Reserve the GH nipper only for when you absolutely need to use it to not cause unnecessary blunting of the blade. Using the basic cutters, cut away from the sprue gate, leaving more than a millimeter between the sprue gate and the model piece.

You can get a near perfect result in many cases using the GH nipper only, but if you want to make the marks completely invisible you’ll have to go the extra mile of shaving and sanding. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. And an investment in the future, maybe it’ll finally make me build my BI Bladey and DCS-J that I’ve been putting off for a year now due to lacking ‘proper’ tools. Proper maintenance and usage will ensure that your nippers will stay in good condition and last a long time. Although they're on the spenny side as far as tools go, they do live up to the hype and are worth the money.

When trying to slice and cut the 3mm runner, the blade will move freely and smoothly without any noise. Put a drop of oil in between the pivot point and the nipper, making sure it gets into all the crevices.

Hold it up to the light and gradually tighten the grub screw until no more light is visible between the nipper's jaws.
