They remind me of the original Tamiya sprue cutters, in both width and sharpness. The Tamiya cutters that you can buy now aren't as nice as the ones I bought 25 years ago, but they work well for cutting up sprues and for larger work. Another brand that works well for close cutting are the Dspaie cutters; not quite as nice as the GodHands, but about 2/3rds of the price. As for files, I can't remember the manufacturer of mine. The Tamiya Diamond Photo-Etch File has come in handy with those metal parts, and is part of my tool kit. Thanks for sharing that Ken, makes me feel good about my purchase. The Dspaie one were on the short list of three. I never did have a good file for photo etch, so I’m looking forward to having the right tool for that now. I also bought some Xuron photo etch scissors, we’ll see how they work… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
