Plastic / Soft Metal Side Cutter

Tamiya is delighted to introduce another weapon in the advanced modeller's armoury: 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 the thicker plastic gate on R/C model kit sprues, harder plastics and even softer metals such as brass.

• Blade material: Steel, with anti-rust treatment applied.
• Examples of cuttable material and thicknesses: Plastic beam up to 3mm; aluminium wire up to 2.5mm; copper wire up to 2mm; brass wire up to 1.8mm; Nickel silver wire up to 1.5mm.
• Not for use with harder metals, carbon fibre, or FRP.
• Grips are made from comfortable black PVC, and marked with the Tamiya twin star logo, plus the line "FOR PLASTIC/SOFT METAL."
