The Ultimate Nipper is a single-edged plastic nipper, specifically designed for gate cutting.
If you slice the runner about 3 mm, it will have slices and blades that will end cutting almost without sounds.
The sharp edge gives you a smooth cutting surface like a design knife and minimizes plastic whitening (the phenomenon of the cross-section whitener).
Compared to regular nippers, the cut marks are much clearer, so it is recommended for those who want to complete the plastic model without painting.
The ultimate nipper's incredible sharpness is a thinnly sharpened blade and a "single-blade structure" for cleaner cutting.
[Functions for each part]
ANTI-OPENING PINS: Prevents the spring from coming off when the blade is too open.
Blade breakage prevention stopper: Prevents the blade from breaking due to excessive force.
Compatible Materials: Only cutting plastic (PS resin, PP resin, ABS resin, PE resin).
Cutting Capacity: Only compatible materials with 0.1 inch (3 mm) or less. However, transparent and translucent PS resin is hard, so it is limited to 0.04 inch (1 mm) or less.
Because this is a delicate nipper that emphasizes sharpness, the blade may chip or break if used incorrectly.
Please follow the precautions in the instruction manual (English language not guaranteed).
