Thank you so much. I appreciate your effort.
Thank yuo very much, saved me a lot of time
Tyvm
You dropped this 👑
🗿👍
I never thought I would have the need to see that many of anything tested, but I feel I have gained useful knowledge. Thanks for another great review video.
Thanks buddy
I was into nipper collecting few years ago, but ended up selling them 1 by 1
That Tamiya (slim jaw) is actually dual blade
& ST-X is the latest nipper from DSPIAE, I've try the ST-A 2.0 & now own 3.0 just like yours
@@muhammaddirga6037 didn't get the ST-X one and got the ST-A 3.0 which kinda sucks but I know it'll do the job at least
Great video! I love how you managed to pull off the nipper faceoff, I had some of the items presented here like the Nanye and Dispae 3.0. I wanted to buy a God Hand nipper (red) but went for the Dispae 3.0 instead and you are right about the packaging and the performance.
👌
I use the Red Godhand for the first cut and the Blue Godhand for the second cut. I have been using this combo for about 5 years now. Gone through a PG, more than 10 Megami devices, and FRame Arm Girls, 2 RG kits, 3 MG kits and a lot of resin upgrade kits. Still sharp as I like it.
Excellent Video! I appreciate the extra tips of setting up the runners to not put stress back into the part...I never thought of that!
I went from actual wirecutters to the DSPIA. What an insane difference.
Sadly the stopping rod fell out at some point, which I’ve replaced with superglued pieces of a cocktail stick.
Very nice test.
Great and thorough review. Always glad to have links to these products.
That WisePro seems like a winner for the best cost effective plastic nipper of the bunch. Appreciate the video going over all of these - I feel properly informed!
Thanks for sharing your information, I didn't know there was so many cutters available. Let alone the differences between them. Keep up the great work.
cool comparison! i’m not too worried about stress marks since i intend to paint all my models so i’ve been really happy with the $15 Godhand PN-125.
Awesome review on the different designs of nippers. I had no idea about the single edge blade tech.
Thanks for the video, it was a great source of information. I’m new to the hobby and been wanting to upgrade my nippers this video help a lot thanks you earned a new subscriber!
The bright red pieces contrasted against your grey gloves and grey background reminds me of Schindler's List. Great video!
I had those PIT Nippers, blade, and flat end were uneven. Inconsistent quality control seems to be the issue for them. I sent them back and went with the Stedi Ultimate Single Edge version. $35.00 price point. Give those a try if you want a GodHand comparison.
Always GREAT information...thank you - Happy Easter!
Happy Easter and God bless my friend
great vid, cant wait to see that new panel liner as well
I don't think the Tamiya nipper is actually a single blade. They are a standard double blade design, but an excellent quality double blade.
Yes you are correct. I looked at the Tamiya 123 under magnification and it’s a double edge like wire cutters
You are correct, it’s double bladed. It’s really good at cutting a lot of pieces from the runner, but not good at cutting flush or the gate. I use Tamiya to remove pieces from the runners and then the Godhand for gate/nub removal.
@@ShinHito That's exactly what I do. Tamiya for the sprue removal and Godhand for the cleanup.
I have had the GH PN-120 for a long time and use them only on clear parts due to the sharpness and strength. They work amazingly for that purpose
Awesome videos. Helps me a lot. pls keep em coming.
It's good of you to do the summary and conclusion; not all of your videos have that. Keep it up!
Awesome test and review as always my friend. Thank you.
I really like the instruction manual holder. Very cool idea.
Great video, may have to consider eventually getting one of these. One thing you might look into as well is how well they clip clear parts, since those can be some of the hardest parts to clip without leaving stress marks.
for sure. It's a balancing act between cutting the harder plastic well enough/stress mark free and possibly cocking up your expensive thin bladed expensive pair.......
What ??? Never use single blade on clear parts, it's in the instructions, you're gonna break them they're too thick !!!
Hobby Mio and GH pretty much cut clear parts like butter. Interesting fact, I searched and bought my first GH nipper because I was working on a PG Aile Strike with clear armors and the first cut left a big stress mark that made me halt the project until the GH arrived.
The second thing is to do the double cut method but still leaving room so you can sand it, you can work it either with the original method (sanding grits of 400+ all the way to polishing grits) or use glass files. Tamiya 74123 is the first cut, then gut in deep for the second cut with single blades eg GH but leaving a small nub to sand/glass. (you can effectively get the nub without stress due to single blades). Never broke the GH, I see them broken all the time and one of them is through clear plastic but if you're smart enough.
Very comprehensive review - thank you
You have great videos. You really helped out with the airbrush & compressor. Got both you recommended at the time. I need close cut nippers for 3d printing where removing supports can be a pain. The single blade cutters seem to work on the edge of a sprue where a support in 3d printing may be off the edge. Will these work for nubs, sprues or supports not on the edge? Any suggestions would be great as well. Thanks!!
Absolutely, my friend 3D prints and he uses a couple of these here exclusively
Never thought id watch nearly an hour of someone testing cutters! Good info, thanks!
Me either but it turned out to be a good time. Thanks for watching and welcome aboard
Great video of course.
I have been getting a lot of DSPIAE products lately and it all come in the same nice packaging. I can’t bring myself to toss it out.
Awesome video! Great to see all these nipper compared. Really helps me making a choice. Thanks legend.
Interesting that your Dspiae came in that box. I also have the STA 3.0 and it came with a proper storage box out of plastic with some foam interior that holds it and the tool, as well as a leather cover for it.
Great video, keep em coming I'll keep watching
Awesome. I love my God hands, but it's nice to know that comparable nippers are out there at more reasonable prices when the time comes.
Thank you again for another quality review!
Sixty bucks for a pair of nippers - ABSURD! As a recreational model builder my five dollar nippers work just fine.
Wow. You really did it. That was an eye opener.
Great call on the black gloves. The camera focus was very smoothe compared to your other videos
Yes !
Love big comparison video's like these!
I have those Tamiya cutters. (I use them as my first cut before cleanup with Dspiae 3.0) definitely NOT single blade, so not surprising they didn't do well, they're decent for the price though, for a general use cutter.
Great review 👍🏻👍🏻
For grunt work I mix between Tamiya modelers side cutters and some Citadel cutters. Main modeling work I switch between DSPIAE ST-A 3.0, Tamiya Sharp Pointed Side Cutter and the God Hand Ultimate Nipper 5.0 GH-SPN-120. I honestly love the God hands, but find I end up going for the Tamiya Sharp pointed a lot. I've used them for years and they are always reliable.
Appreciate the effort you put into this.
Thanks Jared
I do the other tamiya double blade cutters to remove from sprues and then do a tight cut with the spn120 godhands. For gunpla foil plated you definitely need the godhands
I found out recently that GodHand actually makes a less expensive single-edge nipper. It's the PNS-135, and it has a more traditional leaf spring design.
My USAGS nippers are wearing out so I’m inclined to get the Dspiae. I also use Dspiae panel line scribing bits and they are pretty high quality. I guess I just like red things lol
I have a green handled set of Wise Pros you recommended from an earlier review. They work great. Can't see paying that much for the Godhands.
I bought that Dspiae from another video of yours and love them.
Thank you. I tried out the HM-108 EVO Single Blade Nippers. I am very pleased with them.
Another great, concise video and test sir. I have the hobby mio nippers (the one that comes with spray) and they are pretty good but for the price I wish I would of just paid the extra 20 bucks for the god hands! Lol
Its quite interesting that a lot of these shares similar mechanical designs
I mean you can only do so much when the tool needs to be able to fit in cramped areas, (so thin profile) be comfortable in the hand (so a gentle curve of the handles) and be *very* reliable (with a very simple pivot and spring system) don't want to over design it and the final product to be less useful than your bog standard tool.
Great video and very helpful in choosing the right nippers at the right price. Also, could you send a link to that instruction manual holder? I could really use one of those!
Literally watch an hour about an dude talk about clippers. Well worth it. Thanks for your dedication and time.
i have been looking to get a god hand for a long time now, but really when i learned that i could just clean it with a hobby knife changed my mind on getting one, still seeing how clean Godhand cut on those piece is really amazing!
Yeah hobby knifes are great, but take a lot more time to get similar results as the Godhand. Also, I’ve used my Godhand on well over 150 kits and it’s still extremely sharp and cuts pieces like butter. I’d imagine you’d have to go through a lot of replacement blades for that many kits.
My favorite type of review video, one that validates a purchase I've already made! LoL.
To be serious, it's interesting that the Godhands do indeed remain the top performers to compare everything against, but of course not the best value. If/when mine break I'll be back so I can pick a replacement.
hey thank you!! never gave it a second thought now i know
The one thing I found with the cheaper nippers is that after a few kits, the softer metal starts to lose it's sharpness and they stop cutting and start mashing. I think I made it through about 3 HGs and 2 MGs before they "lost their edge" so to speak.
The nice thing about their softer blades is that they won't break as readily so they're great for first cut to get them off the sprue since they're still nice and thin.
Godhand SPNs definitely are the thinnest hardest blade of the ones I've tested. I relegated my worn out cheap nippers to first cut duties. My Dispae definite has a slightly thicker blade than the SPNs so they can't get as close as the SPNs. If you're mostly straight built then Godhands are a huge time saver along with a glass file.
What’s a glass file?
@@Syclone0044 Check the Gunprimer Raser. They're glass files with a textured side, they're much finer than most metal files and they don't corrode and barely wear out. I highly recommend getting one, moreso than getting a top of the line nipper.
Another educational video 99% of my tools and paints are from your videos/recommendations thx love love love your content
Those usa gundam nippers look just like the hobbytown house brand I picked up a couple months ago, same cap too. They've been great so far
Would love to see a vid on how you perform “maintenance” on these to keep these sharp and polished
Yea they don’t come with any instruction really. What does the screw on the side if the hinge even do? Tension?
@@mzaite he explained it at 5:50
@@mzaite The screw is adjusted so that the blade and anvil just touch and no more, which reduces blade wear and stops the blade digging into the anvil causing damage to the face of the anvil. The other pin above the hinge stops the jaws opening too far.
@@eddiebruv Oh it limits opening! Cheers!
@@itsagundam79 Not the closing one on the arm, the other one, that's apparently to limit opening.
FYI .... bought a pair of the P.I.T. nippers and they work great !!! Thanks for the review.
Wow, can't believe the Nanye nipper cost $18 over there, because in Vietnam here, we can easily buy it around $6.4-$7.68 (150-180k VND), which is 1/10 the price of GodHand SPN-120 (1500k VND ~ $64). While the performance is not that great, and it always leaves some plastic left (because the basic design of the nipper, you can read more about it on Dspiae document), using it then cleaning up with wet generic glass file (only cost me $1) already gives a very good result. So I'd say Nanye nipper + a simple glass file is the best combo for anyone who don't want to spend too much on these tools.
BTW, Nanye nipper doesn't have any stoppers, I guess that's the reason why you can hear the nipping sound. Also, the biggest cons of it is that the nipper becomes rusty very easy, I've only use for about less than half the years and the handle is very rusty right now. While it still works normally (probably because I always use the maintenance oil that came with it), I just hate the rusty handle and the nipping sound, so I upgraded to Dspiae 3.0 just couple weeks ago.
Mine is the new version coming with a hard plastic box (you can keep the nipper with the cover and the adjustment tool in it), a cleaning cloth and a separate maintenance oil can with another cleaning cloth. The whole set costs us around $30-$34 (700-800k VND) so it's less than half the price of the GodHand SPN-120 while the package and accessories are much more pleasant to have. I was busy so I haven't try out the Dspiae yet, but from all the review I've looked so far, I don't think I'd make another upgrade soon.
And those 3 nippers above, the Nanye, the Dspiae 3.0 and the GodHand SPN-120, are the easiest to buy here because most shops sells these, you can always buy them with a very good price. Tamiya, Hobby Mio and some other Japanese nippers are also sold here but not by many shops, though.
Hi I'm a Vietnamese American looking to travel to the motherland sometime soon. What sort of shops sell gundam tools over there in VN? Cam on!
about $6 here in malaysia. honestly it works well enough. even after being used for 20+ kits mine still cuts pretty well. granted i always clean up with hobby knife and sanding foams anyway. however for flat surfaces where i can lay the blade flat i can cut flush to the part and minimize cleaning up
are there any that could be easier to use with arthritis BUT leave nice clean nubs? i would normally razor them down to invisibility and sand seams before painting, but things have become pretty painful (and possibly dangerous) in that department lately. i already have godhands, im mostly trying to find something with a longer handle (i think) and less action.
apparently the tamiya isn't single blade, mate. idk who gave you the info, but tamiya doesn't make single blade nipper at all.
but overall great video. thanks, mate.
Great review!
Tamiya actually makes quite a few different ones. I have the 74035 which is a slightly shorter blade. I get pretty good results from them. Not godhand level, but also a fraction of the price. That said I might consider a couple of those others next time I need nippers.
I use the Tamiya nippers to cut the piece off the runner and then a pair of the Godhand nippers to cut closer to the piece. I feel like the Tamiya is a good ‘workhorse’ but not great for precision like the Godhand!
I have a pair of Stedi's (pro blue handle) and I LOVE them The spring won't stay in place after going through a bunch of kits though. It's such a nice nipper though.
Thanks very much for the very comprehensive review, this is highly appreciated.
The last nipper (Hobby Mio) is actually pretty good, I used it to cut MG Nu Gundam ver Ka mechanical clear version and it cuts as clean as the God Hand to my surprise. The spring is a bit lacking and the grip design is quite weird but I love it because it's pretty much rust-resistant unlike the God Hand (I'm now on my third GH nipper).
I can confirm that the Tamiya pretty much sucks and should be avoided like the plague.
The other Hobby MIo would be my choice if ever my GH is starting to rust again.
I actually have the Valtcans and they dont leave any stress marks for me at all. Have been a great pair of nippers for me.
Great video, but you actually have two different types of tools in this video. The Tamiya, and a few others are traditional flush cutters, with semetrical cutting blades. Most of the ones below like the Godhands have one sharp cutting edge, and one flat/dull edge. They are actually two different tools, used for two different things. The Godhands are meant for a final fully flush trimming of your parts, while the others are meant to do rough trimming. I just think it would be worth mentioning that.
I didn't know there was single blade nippers, I'm just an old school model car builder how do you get in close to a part if one side is a flat anvil? Those robot kits look cool I didn't know there was such a thing.
20:35 that's when I placed my order for a pair of Godhands. I really wish I could have waited to see all 14 others but at that point I was sold, so why bother. I did watch the rest of the video, but still. If someone isn't convinced after that first red part, nothing will ever convince them I guess hehe
They truly are the best and actually worth the price
For the nanye one i suggest cutting in the middle of the blade mine barely have stress marks and make a sound
It's a good test for all these nippers new, the challenge is test again when you have used the nippers for a while after a few kits to see if they are all still as sharp or cut as good. I have both God hand and Dspiae, the GH i don't use as i'm too afraid they will chip as I have seen all too much with pics. The Dspiae is mu go to everyday, still as sharp and cuts well, I have had it over 5 months now. I'd like to try hobby Mio as I use the hobby knife and they are very well made plus you get 30 extra blades in package.
even with the very sharpest nipper, you'll still need a quick sanding to get rid of that outline from the gate. if you're going to sand it anyway I don't see the point in getting the very best of the best nipper. I've got a mad works single bladed nipper and it works just great for the price.
I own tamiya sidecutters #35, and I love them,should be included in test.Great test
Great video! tanks!
You're welcome my friend
In Australia I have a pair of single blade cutters from Jaycar, $50 roughly. Have a pair for work and home. They cut like butter threw zip ties and copper wiring all day, broke the first pair when I was a bit ambitious and tried to cut 16mm multi strand copper earth cable instead of using the parrot beaks. The home pair like new only having to deal with sprue and resin supports.
Great comparison!
I use my trusty Tamiya cutters for just about everything. They are reliable, and ship up clean and close. Around 26 bucks.
I bought the WisePro nippers a year or so ago based on a previous test you did and they've been good. Recently I've noticed that the blade gets skewed a little when meeting the anvil side and adjusted the stopper a bit which seems to have helped. At the relative bargain price I won't feel so bad if they need to be replaced. I'd love to know what the general lifespan of these extremely fine-edged and expensive nippers is, actually.
The same as any other reputable brand's.
I honestly like my DSPIAE every bit as much as my God Hands
The big thing when tools produce similar quality results, is how they age and wear. Can you get correct new springs easily? How good is the heat treat on the blade? Etc….
Very good point. I have found the more expensive ones can be fragile. I tend to stuck with mid priced and lower quality cut as I invariably get them damaged at some point.
@@voodoonights1671 The conflict is fragile means it stays sharp. Harder the temper, longer the blade lasts, but the more brittle the metal is.
Springs are easy to find. Just crack open a few click pens
@@tylerttinsley the ones in plier like tools is usually smaller diameter than most pen springs. Depends again on the specifics of the finer details of the design.
@@mzaite I have replaced two springs in nippers like this. and it worked like a charm.
I found that only one instance you need to buy godhand or similar when you are snap build.
Think about it, if you have to paint it anyway, you need to cut it, sand it and paint.
The nub mark is not important at all as I have to sand it away anyway.
I only use Tamiya 123 and I had Godhand before and I found no difference if you have to sand it anyway.
I have the Trumpeter/ Master tools ones and they are doing nice job for lower price.
the Vaultcan suprised me since i own a pair and mine have never left a white anything and cut just as good as my Dspiae do ,maybe it is a quality control problem idk
Great test. Ty
You're welcome Daniel, thanks for watching
I bought some god hands ghspn 120 and after two weeks working on the pg astray kit the blade broke . So I’m going to try some of these ones out
I love my Valtcan nippers, saw them once in a live stream years ago as an alternative for God hands. They where 13 bux back then. Wish i bought another pair.
What grit size would you use to recommend to remove the nub outline?
I noticed that you didn't run a pair of the MadWorks series.. maybe next time grab ya one and check them out as well. can grab them from Newtype ( MH-03 ) just a thought for maybe a next nipper video. good job Sir even had a few that I've never heard of..
Nice video. Problem is that Most off the items are Not available in the Netherlands (Amazon Europe). Godhands with shipping are over $100.. The Tamiya is the only one who is Easy available at $39.
Great video. If you’re ever in need of another to try, give red grass games a go. Keep up the great work.
I use the stedi nippers, but I’m thinking on getting those PN-120s
I wonder if the point of contact between the blade and anvil is completely flushed. I bought a pair of nippers(not godhand), and while there appears to be no gap, after putting up against a lamp light, there was definitely a slight gap.
I watched your comparison on these nippers and bought the dspiae nippers and found that there is no clean up at all thanks for doing this video 👍
You're welcome John
Any chance to test the GodHand KPN-95s and the RUITOOL single blade nipper?
Thank you Mr.Barbatos Rex.
What is the nipper reference you use for the runner rough cuts (Idk if I missed it in the videos) ?
Bandai spirits build up nipper
@@benjamincolumbus thanks man, I ended up using a mini chopping knife
Would be great if one of these nipper manufacturers produce and sell a 2-pack that is mirrored, i.e., one left-oriented (anvil side on the left) and the other, right-oriented (anvil side on the right), to address cutting those "weirdly oriented" parts
Hey bro, i got an odd question to ask .. I'm more of a Warhammer Kinda guy but we both use the same tools of the trade haha .. thing is ... Those GodHand Nippers..are they loud? Im asking because my Girlfriend suffers from Misophonia and when im watching TV with her while building my Minis, the clipping sound drives her nuts.I heard from someone that those Nippers do more Cutting then "crunching" the plastic - therefore are much quiter. is this true ?
Have you ever to an analysis of tweezers? (I feel like their must be a better option than the one I am using!)
It seems that, besides the overall quality, the ultimate test for a great nipper is durability in time. Most of the budget products seem to be great but will they endure extensive use?
If Anyone would like to to share their experiences after using any of these nippers regularly it'd be great.
Great video thanks!
Mind me asking what your sanding sticks are?
