Due to the nature of this plastic, cutting through 3 mm thickness results in some surface stressing.

To this poster, the fact that the God Hand Ultimate Nipper is undeniably number one on the nipper ranking isn’t up for debate.

I’ve had two of these types of nippers, and while one was very good, it broke when I inadvertently tried to cut a thicker part than it was intended for. The name Gunpla derives from the phrase “Gundam plastic model”, since most kits are made of plastic. The second cut is then easier as you have full view of the part without the rest of the sprue in the way, so mistakes are far less likely if you are lighting the area sufficiently well. After more than a month of testing, I can say that the God Hand Ultimate Nipper is absolutely the real deal. Although they're on the spenny side as far as tools go, they do live up to the hype and are worth the money.

EG kits are similar to First Grade or No Grade 1/144 series Gunpla kits, wherein they contain no polycaps and are molded in only three colors. When we tried slice-cutting a 3mm runner, the blade slid in and finished the cut almost without a sound. By the year 2061, the Boundary War has ended but Japan has been divided into four occupied zones where native Japanese are treated like second-class citizens. I’ve heard enough stories of people breaking them and it seems not incredibly difficult to accomplish.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. But since they’re made of steel they will still dull after a while so try not to use them more often than necessary. Make sure to coat every surface, since if you forget to coat even one part, it is likely that portion will start to rust. When it comes to clear styrene, which is traditionally more brittle than regular styrene, you are advised to cut only the gates, avoid cutting any larger runners, and avoid cutting any brittle plastics at all, as they’re likely to shatter explosively and damage the blade with any sideways momentum.
