A good pair of cutters is the first tool any modeller should own, and Tamiya's Modeler's Side Cutter is a proper one. The hardened carbon steel blades snip cleanly through plastic parts and sprue gates without crushing or whitening the plastic, and the ergonomic grip keeps your hand comfortable through a long build. Equally at home on scale kits and Mini 4WD assembly.
