DSPIAE ST-A Ultradunne tong met een mes 3.0

I've only had these nippers a short while, but they really impress. The cutting is easy, clean, & precise. I'll leave it to the other reviewers to extol their virtues in detail. This review is more about sharing some practical info. These nippers do leave a tiny amount of material behind for manual cleanup, but it truly is minimal, and it's also by design. When you closely inspect these nippers, you will see that the back side of the sharp cutting bade does not align exactly with the back of the blunt side. This is not a manufacturing error, and the reason is covered in detail in the included manual. In short, it's to ensure that the cutting blade (which is very thin) is not laterally displaced too far during cutting, and fails to accurately meet up with the blunt side - potentially leading to wear or breakage.As mentioned in the headline, some additional user setup may be required for optimal use. Unfortunately, this is not covered in the manual. Throughout reading reviews and learning about usage mistakes which have led to breakage for some users, and watching Youtube videos explaining proper use, I would like to pass on some information that will hopefully be of some help in getting the most life from these nippers. Credit goes to Youtube user "Florymodels" who made a very informative review/tutorial for these specific nippers. In short, there is a "limit regulator" screw that *must* be set up correctly, and which - in my case - was not correctly set up on arrival. Its purpose is to prevent the user from being able to squeeze the handles with more force than is strictly needed to make the intended cut. What you want to do is grab yourself a normal piece of A4 printer paper, and use that as your cutting test subject. Loosen the nut on the limit regulator, and then use the tool included with the nipper to set the position of the regulator precisely at the point where it stops against the opposing grip handle when the piece of printer paper is cut; no more, and no less. If the nippers won't close enough to cut the paper, retract the limit regulator until it can. If the nippers will cut the paper, but the limit regulator is not touching the opposing grip handle, extend the regulatory until it rests directly against the opposing grip handle. When you are finished, tighten the regulator nut, and test again to make sure everything is set up correctly. The limit regulator screw is prone to wear somewhat with time and usage, so be sure to perform this adjustment again every so often... if you don't, it may lead to a shortened life for the nippers. Hope this is of some help!

Very fine cuts.

Dieser Nipper ist für Modellbastler ein Muss!Warum? Im Gegensatz zu normalen Nippern, ist hier eine Schneide plan und nicht Scharf. Das bedeutet, Modellteile die vom Plastikrahmen geknipst werden, werden nicht von beiden Seiten her gequetscht. Dieses Quetschen verursacht die so genannten „Stressmarkierungen“ (engl. stress marks), was weißliche Verfärbungen des Plastiks bzw. am Bauteil sind. Da hier nur eine Kante schneidet, entspricht das schneiden vergleichsweise etwa einer Gurke mit dem Messer auf einem Schneidebrett. So einstehen kaum bis keine Verfärbungen an der Schnittkante des Bauteils.Beim Schneiden setze man den Nipper ganz dicht am Bauteil an und die Stumpfe Schneide drückt man an das Verbindungsstück, was den Rahmen mit dem Bauteil verbindet und zieht dann den Nipper so zu, sodass die scharfe Schneide durch das Plastik gleitet.Des Weiteren kann die Schneide mit einer Schraube arretiert werden. Dabei sollte man beachten, dass man ja nicht die Schraube zu fest anziehen darf. Besser ist es die Schraube zu lockern, dann den Nipper am Griff vorsichtig zu zudrücken und nach und nach die Schraube an zu ziehen. Am Besten hält man die flache Seite der Spitze gegen Licht und schraubt so weit zu bis zwischen der Schneide kein Licht mehr durchdringt.Fazit: Dieser Nipper überzeugt durch seine hohe Qualität und kann mit der teureren japanischen Marke mithalten und ist damit eine kostengünstige Alternative.

Si vero che costa ma per un modellista serio è insostituibile. Niente a che vedere con le solite tronchesine. Tagli perfettissimi, non c'è bisogno neanche di carteggiare. Attenti perchè sono fragili.

For the price, these nippers are incredible. I couldn't justify the cost of the godhands over this pair of nippers after reading reviews and watching other modelers use them in their work. I really like the single bladed nippers the best and these things cut very cleanly compared to the cheap nippers I originally used. If you're into building model kits, you need a good pair of nippers and these are worth the money.
