Tamiya is delighted to introduce another weapon in the advanced modeler’s armory: these side cutters are for use cutting materials which standard side cutters cannot cut or would not cut cleanly. Examples of materials they can cut are thicker plastic gate on R/C model kit sprues, harder plastics and even softer metals such as brass.
