About product

TM02 thin blade nippers (Mineshima)

Japanese-made modeling nippers with an overall length of 120 millimeters and a thin blade. The thin jaw is the main difference from ordinary electrician's nippers: it goes into a narrow gap and lies close against the part, so only a negligible stub of the gate is left after the cut.

Why a thin blade

A thick jaw compresses the plastic at the cut and the material around the gate turns white. The thinner the blade, the less material has to be pushed aside, and the cleaner the cut is. The stub can then be taken off with a single pass of a blade. In exchange, a thin blade is more sensitive: hard material, steel wire or a thick cast gate will notch the edge, and the notch shows on later cuts.

Usage tips

Cut in two goes, first a little away from the part and then flush. Do not try to cut through a thick gate in one bite; thin it down first. Keep the nippers exclusively for plastic and have other nippers set aside for wire. Wipe the jaws after work, as glue and paint residue keeps the edges from closing.

Who they are for

  • Builders of plastic kits who are bothered by whitening around the gate
  • Modelers working with small, thin parts
  • Anyone interested in Japanese tools for fine work
  • Anyone who wants to cut down on sanding after the cut
  • Builders of figures and accessories with tiny gates

A thin blade is a consumable matter: the more carefully it is treated, the longer it keeps cutting cleanly. So it pays to keep coarser nippers in the drawer for everyday work.

FAQ

They are not intended for it. The thin blade is built for plastic; wire would notch it.

One hundred and twenty millimeters.

Because cutting right at the part tears the plastic and turns it white. The second cut then only levels a thin stub.

Wipe the jaws after work and do not leave glue and paint residue on them.
