God Hand PN-120 Single-Edged nippers

I've casually enjoyed Gunpla over the years and saw GodHand recommended thousands of times. The price has always kept me away. After recently gettings some 5 pin switches for my 3 pin keyboard, I needed some flush cutters to cut away the extra pegs. I always struggled with stress marks on my Gunpla models in the past. I got the cheapest pair of nippers I could find and used them for years. They always kind of mushed and stressed the plastic more so than actually cut it. I decided that I wanted to get a nice, clean cut on the switches. It's not something that I would be seeing, but I invested a lot of time and money in my keyboard and I knew it would make me feel better to go that extra bit and really keep every detail clean and neat. My budget has come quite a ways from my high school and college days, so I figured it was time to finally give the GodHand a try, not only for my switches but just to keep around for use in general. What a difference! Right out of the packaging I instantly noticed just how nice these feel to hold and squeeze. They have nice high quality textured handles and the opening and closing movement just feels smooth and effortless. They are also quite sharp. As soon as I put them up to the first plastic peg and squeezed they just cut through like butter. Beautifully clean cut with almost no effort on my part. The sharp edge made it easy to see where I was cutting and went through the plastic better than a fresh X-ACTO knife. It's such a small thing, using nippers to cut plastic. But honestly, I was really impressed with how well these worked and how nice they felt to use. As soon as I made the first cut, I was instantly compelled to grab some unbuilt models that I've had sitting around in storage just so I could use them more. Yes, they are expensive. But if you appreciate quality and work with plastic at all, these are amazing. Do other nippers get the job done? Yes. Do they do it as well and feel as nice? Absolutely not. Don't skip out on making a car payment just to get these fancy nippers, but if you have it in your budget and feel like you'll use them often enough please do yourself a favor and pick up a pair.

The review is in the name of the nippers. The Godhand nippers are the ultimate nippers. These nippers last for years. Use the nippers as intended and they will remain sharp and will not become chipped. I suggest watching a video on proper technique for using the nippers. You may say the price seems high for model nippers but they save you time and money. You won’t have to replace these as often as some other brand nippers. The cut is very flush which will save you time on clearing the left behind nub marks which are virtually nonexistent when using these nippers.

Initially, I balked at the $40 price tag for a set of nippers. I've used many types over the years & never gave much thought to what a difference an expensive pair might make. I decided to try these when I had gift card and, after using them on a Master Grade Gundam, I'm never going back to cheap nippers. They genuinely cut down on the time & effort expended while building a model. The cut is so smooth, there's rarely any stress marks left behind, and I don't have to spend nearly as much time filing or whittling down the remaining nibs on my parts. Single-blade makes a big difference, and the quality of that blade makes a HUGE difference. If you build models on a regular basis, you owe it to yourself to get a pair of these (or the even higher quality SPN-120.) You won't regret it.

Good tool for beginners.

Fantastic cutters! There is a smoothness to every cut that I haven't gotten elsewhere.

I was on the fence about getting these and the SPN-120s because it’s like 80 bucks for the two, but it genuinely is a massive difference in cutting with these vs generic Amazon kit nippers. The red ones are an amazing first cut that feels like cutting thru butter. I notice parts don’t come flying off the runners like they did before either. Everything feels much smoother and just drops on my mat. The blue SPN-120s as a second cut are incredible and basically removed the need for my tamiya hobby knife because they cut so cleanly. I just got into gunpla like last month, but I’ve already built like 6 kits. So I realized this was going to be something I’d do consistently and therefore wanted to expedite my build process hence me getting these. If you’re just starting out, you don’t need them, but if you want to build long term, these are worth it.

They seem expensive at $40 +/-, but...... They are considered the best for a reason. These cut through sprues like silk and leave very little evidence of it. I would highly suggest using them only for plastic sprues... To think of ruining these by using them for wire. They are the absolute correct tool for tee job for models and gundam/gunpla. To me, it was a little splurge, at the price point. But ZERO regrets. They are godlike!

This was my first Godhand nippers. It maybe expensive but it's well worth the price. I've heard about Godhand nippers from model builders on Youtube and besides price, I've heard nothing but good things. I also heard that if you use Godhand nippers you will not have nub marks on your parts. I've used these nippers to build my 1/144 Overflag and I can tell you (at least with these nippers), nub marks are still left on the part. However, while the mark was still there it does not protrude as much as what I would normally be working with. Also, I've noticed that the cut was more clean then if I would have used my cheap nippers or even my Tamiya that I had bought at the end of October. I've noticed that I had practically zero stress marks on my Overflag. Usually, I would have maybe about 2-4 stress marks on some parts for the whole model. Even if it doesn't get rid of the nub marks entirely, the clean cut gives me an easier time to sand the nub mark off. All in all, a great pair of nippers even if it's expensive. (Wish I bought these when it was still $40 and not $50.)

Le ho prese pensando di ottenere risultati di taglio superiori nettamente alla trochesina bilama che uso. Nella realtà almeno sui Gundam non vedo grossa differenza ma al contempo sono alquanto delicate. Non le ricomprerei.

Great quality product! Should return years of use if taken care of. Bought to replace a set that had been dropped by my son (they still work with a ground down tip but wanted a replacement regardless)...They are more delicate than cheap clippers due to being slimmer/ more refined with a sharper finish (think more refined kitchen knife or scalpel) but the cut is infinitely cleaner. I generally use cheap clippers for the initial cut off the sprue and these to give a clean final cut. They do exactly what they are made to do and an absolute pleasure in use. Just be careful when lying around on the table...

J'ai commandé cette pince après avoir vu et lu plusieurs commentaires positifs. L'ayant reçu hier et testé dans la foulée je confirme que cette pince est remarquable. Elle coupe le plastique proprement, presque pas de ponçage a faire après la coupe. Bien faire attention à ne pas couper un plastique au-delà de 3 mn, sinon on risque d'animer les bords !! La sensation a la coupe est impressionnante par rapport à mon autre pince de qualité inférieure. En effet on a a peine a forcer pour que la coupe se fasse, malgré sa finesse cette pince est incroyablement efficace!! Son prix peut faire peur mais si vous voulez du bon matériel faites confiance à cette marque japonaise réputée. Sachez pour finir qu'elle est livrée avec un petit capuchon en simili cuir pour protéger la tête de la pince.

ほかの方の評価見ると二極化してますな。 自分については、同社の SPN-120を以前は使ってましたが、やはり薄刃だけあって簡単に折れて しまい、2本買って2本ダメにしたので下位互換のこちらを購入した。 (技量だけの問題ではないと思う、本当に折れやすかった） こちらを1年程度使用しているが、特に問題なく使えている。刃の厚みは増えたが それだけ耐久性は増したといえるし、それでも1000円程度の他社ニッパーよりは全然切れる。 何も不満はない。もちろんSPN-120の神がかり的な切れ味に比べればだいぶ劣るが。 白化については今のところ気になるほど発生していない。 これは長年の経験で感じているが、バンダイのプラは白化しやすいが、タミヤやエアフィックスの プラは白化しにくい。各社のプラの材質もあるんだろうと思う。 バンダイのプラモでも、ゆっくり2度切りで丁寧に切れば、特に目立つ白化しない。 SPN-120で神経使いながら作業したくない、という方はこちらの切れ味で妥協するべきだろう。 それでも、下位互換というほど下位な性能ではない、それだけは指摘しておきたい。

No se compara con mis nippers previas (Tamiya y de las que vienen en paquetes) corta demasiado suave y consistente.
