Micro Nippers - Slender head

When the Japanese set out to make something, quality really does seem to be the priority. They build up to a standard rather than down to a price. I'm an engineer/machinist and a huge tool nerd and a can honestly say these are nothing short of beautiful! The fit and finish is flawless! The jaws are truly sharp and the edges meet perfectly. Very clean cut on plastics and they're perfect for cutting off the excess on zip ties as they don't leave any jagged bits of plastic behind. They're fine for copper too but not really their intended purpose. Perfect for model makers. The blocky over moulded handles are surprisingly comfortable and the machining is absolutely perfect! Every single edge has been chamfered so as not to be sharp but the bevels are so incredibly fine, you almost can't see them with the naked eye! You can however feel them. Frankly, I'm at a loss as to how they make any profit at these prices!! World class stuff! I'll be going to this brand for all my small pliers. Engineer is the manufacturer responsible for Vamplier products which are equally well made. Beautiful!!

I have been using the snips for a week now and I absolutely love them. Really good quality and half the price of the knipex micro's. Although a week after I bought them the algorithm's got to work and was offering Knipex for £20. I will be buying other versions of this brand as they are really really nice. I will report back if anything negative happens but I don't think Ill need to. Apparently actually made in Japan

Product : Micro-nipper side cutter NP-05 By : ENGINEER Price paid : Just over £17 Delivery : On time Condition : New Other : ESD safe Good points : To summarise - everything. To be specific :- A relatively large mass of carbon steel to give stability but cut, ground and presumably lapped to give precision cutting edges. The handles are covered with a soft, electrostatically safe grip that fits snugly in the hand. The side cutter jaws are connected together by a flush ground pin. There is no play in the pin either side to side or up and down. No sharp edges or burrs anywhere on the cutters - except where the sharp edges should be of course. The build quality is typical Japanese high grade precision. When I first opened the side cutters I was not sure that they would do the job they were advertised as being able to do - to precisely cut plastic model parts off the sprue without ruining the part - among other things. They managed the job with ease, as good as, if not better than a scalpel because the scalpel flexes where these cutters don't. Bad points : None, and I don't think there will be - they look like they will last forever. Excellent value for money. Would definitely purchase again.

Bought these to cut out parts from runners for my model kits. Work really well, of course you can get better out there, but value for money they are great, really easy and comfortable to use. Been using them over the last 6 months and they are still going strong and have not had any issues with them. Blades are still sharp and cut as good as they did when I first bought them.

I bought these to replace some cheap and nasty nippers I'd been using in plastic modelling for a while. I'm very impressed with the quality and the ease of use. Pieces come away from the sprue with ease and very little material remaining to be sanded or sliced off. Nice and precise. I'd firmly recommend these to anyone wanting a solid tool for building plastic models. You could pay £50 for an enthusiast's pair but I'm not convinced that's good value for money.

Invaluable when you need to work on PCBs or small components this does the job. It is well made, robust, comfortable to use and excellent quality. It is most definitly not a low quality chinese knock off which breaks on first use.

Their amazing but they do go rusty after a while

There nice but like all the rest not really designed for plastic sprues the angle of the blades is too steep causing the plastic to be pulled so it shears off and is not cut all the way through

Any nippers can cut plastic, most nippers can cut copper wire and thin steel sheets. These are the first nippers of this size I've tested that can cut steel wire without losing their edge. Haven't had them for long though, so we'll see how they hold up, so far though, thoroughly impressed.
