Mini Snips Large Straight

Model Craft mini snips, large version with straight blades

Precise snips with a built-in spring that opens them by itself after every cut. This is the larger version of the range with straight blades: the longer body sits better in the hand, the cut is steadier and one stroke makes a longer straight line than with the small snips. A straight blade is the most universal choice of the whole range and is used anywhere you cut material lying on a mat or held in the fingers, that is away from the surface of a model.

Use

• A straight cut in decal sheets, so that only the field of print you need is left.
• Cutting masking and adhesive tape to an exact width.
• Cutting thin plastic and acetate films for glazing and templates.
• Shortening thread, rigging and lines on ship models.
• Preparing scenic materials, grass mats and paper bases for a diorama.

Who the scissors are for

For modelers who want one pair of universal precise snips on the bench and use a straight cut more often than a cut above the surface of a model. The larger version will be appreciated above all by those whose hands find small snips too loose, and by anyone who cuts in longer strokes. It is a good companion to the curved version of the same range, which suits a cut close to the surface of a model instead.

The snips are not intended for cutting metal, hard wire or plastic sprues, as the blades would be damaged. Keep out of the reach of children.
