The Red grass clippers are the same released by Tamiya. Best tip is, get yourself an electronics clipper by Gedore, Wiha or Knipex, be sure to get the smallest 0.8mm.

@RisingApe Месяц назад

Thanks for the tip, I like Knipex tools I am very happy with the Dspiae though!

@ricardoflummiremus Год назад

That was super good!! One thing for me that makes the RGG spring better suited for some work is where you have to take care of the blades not touching / bending / braking other parts on the sprue. I think of really thin and sharp bits and the like. Otherwise, everything was on point. Kudos and keep it up!🙌🏼🌞

@RisingApe Год назад

Thanks, really appreciate that,

@ovan2190 Год назад

Very nice video, I have a few generic brand that do what they need to but my favorite is my Citadel Clipers that came in the starter paint set I got, definitely from a time before the bigger GW style of clippers.

@RisingApe Год назад

Thanks, there are so many options out there

@Bunyip_Studios Год назад

I've been model maker for over 40 yrs and my current got to cutters are: Xuron Track cutters for sprue frames, resin and wire; Plato cutter for ONLY part removal, they are very sharp and close correctly, available on Amazon, ebay and Aliexpress. For best result I prefer the initial cut to be flat side away from the part leaving a few mm of sprue attached to the part, then final removal once the part is free from the frame. This results in less stress on the part from still attached sprue and leaves a better finish with minimal clean up with your preferred tool. The Plato cutters are cheap enough that you can have 4-5 pairs on hand, I've found that I can usually get at least 2 years from one pair, before they are relegated to less precise work, 3D prints for example

@RisingApe Год назад

I can’t comment on the Plato cutters but as I said in the video, the best tool is usually the one at hand. I used cheaper cutters for years with no issues, but it’s nice to have some higher quality ones

@WhiteWulfe Год назад

I'm still kind of envious of anyone who buys those STA 3.0's these days, because that case is included. My pair came in their usual thick cardboard packaging, which while looking absolutely lovely, took up way too much room on the desk, and weren't readily designed to be used as in-between storage. Eh, world doesn't end, it isn't like all four pairs of clippers ever leave my desk (two for resin, two for plastic) - they're always on the desk, ready for use. Only real reason I have so many is since I also do "straight build" gunpla kits, the two clipper method leaves the fewest amount of nub marks (Tamiya 74123's for first cut, DSPIAE 3.0's for second cut, and then "several" more steps after *laughs nervously*) I'm glad you mentioned the con about those thin sharp blades. Far too many will gloss over such (see the fanaticism behind the Godhand clippers for an example), but it is something to keep in mind if you're somewhat rough with your tools, travel a fair bit with your tools, or have medical conditions that make it harder to hold tools. Dropping those sharp tips into your thigh definitely stings. I've always been curious about those Redgrass Games ones because they're orange, but it's rather sad to hear the spring is fairly weak. It took a bit of time to get used to my DSPIAE 3.0's as I couldn't initially figure out how to hold such small nippers, but once I did, I love how it's just a small amount of pressure to clip, and then go back to an almost rest state with your hand afterwards. Took a while because I was used to the mid-2000's Citadel nippers, as well as various Tamiya and Xuron ones that have a noticeably firmer spring to them (and larger handles). I never really believed the whole answers of "oh, you'll know the first cut whether you like them or not" when I was initially looking at single bladed nippers, but... Yup, first cut and barely feeling any resistance from the plastic, and less to clean up I knew why so many like them.

@RisingApe Год назад

Love this comment, thanks, as I said you can make most things work but the Dspiae ones are the best I have used so far

@mumbles47455 Год назад

Awesome comparison, I need to pickup the dspiae one, great info as always thanks 🔥

@RisingApe Год назад

Thanks 🙏

@sonicwingnut Год назад

I've been eyeing up the DSPIAE ones as I've got their USB-C rotary tool and it's awesome. Although I also have some of the Tamiya 4035s and would like to see how they fare against those as I found them to be excellent. Also considering the Tamiya 4123 as they seem to have a finer point to them.

@RisingApe Год назад

I am a big fan, that said the Tamiya are supposed to be equally good. For me though I have never used better than the Dspiae

@ten01_labs Год назад

I did an apprenticeship as an energy electronics technician and there I worked with a lot of side cutters. And the best by far in this area were those from Knipex. I still use my electronics side cutter (Knipex Super-Knips 78) for this, so I have no comparison. I would be really interested to know how it compares to the ones you tested. With about 15 € this is also very cheap.

@RisingApe Год назад

Yeh I think doing some hardware store tool reviews should be fun

@warforgegames Год назад

I recently got the snippers from Monument Hobbies and think they're great. They're also only $17.50, so a heck of a lot cheaper than the Citadel option.

@Himle_ Год назад

Nice video as always! I'd like to suggest the GSW one/s (yes, I do know some people don't like GSW or AK or GW, but that's their problem not mine). Over the years I've used, let's just say lots of different clippers and these ones are amazing. Especially when you consider the pricepoint (€11-14 depending on which ones you get). Been using mine for almost 1 year now and there's no sign of them getting dull. They could've been a little bigger to fit into my hands perfectly, but so could 99% of the other hobby/electrical clippers i've tried^^ I've not had the chance to try out the RGG or the Dspiea ones, but I've used almost all the ones that GW has released and these are much better, imho.

@RisingApe Год назад

I like GSW, they bring lots of products to market that wouldn’t be there otherwise but no getting around they do do make some questionable decisions from time to time.

@KameSennin4209 Год назад

How do the single-blade nippers hold up on the harder plastic of gw? I've been afraid to invest due to horror stories about the durability.

@RisingApe Год назад

I have been using mine for a couple of months before this video was released, no downgrade in performance yet. So I would say fine for GW plastics but absolutely not for resins. If you want to be careful use a cheap pair to cut the thicker parts of the sprue then the single blade to tidy up.

@peisenxu952 6 месяцев назад

I believe the modern GW cutters are actually slightly offset on purpose - like the Xuron shears patent style. This helps keep the blades from dulling and more importantly, as a first tool you buy, allows for cutting while placing the piece flush to the clippers. Little timmy is not going to ruin the surface of his model by putting cheap compression cutters flush and hemorrhaging a piece of the bit away alongside the gate. This is also probably the reason you can't go back in and clean the cut with the same tool effectively. This design has it's uses mind you. I actually prefer the versatility of a quality pair of "shears" compared to the very narrow application of specialised ultra-thin japanese clippers for example.

@RisingApe 6 месяцев назад

Cheaper cutters work amazingly well and they do the job but use a decent quality single blade cutter and honestly it’s leagues apart. End of the day you get the same result it just takes a little longer.

@vicious8251 9 месяцев назад

@@RisingApe If no one has hounded you to yet. Get a set of SPN-120s and PN-120s. They work as a pair and are the best you can get. I use Tamiya double blades like the 74035 and 74001 as my workhorse cutters and my GH for final snips and anything intricate. They leave nearly zero stress marks when used properly. In comparison, I was very unhappy with the DSPIAE nippers despite loving most of their products.

@Wijkert Год назад

6:48 resin is softer than plastic. Why would using the clipper on resin "absolutely destroy" them?

@RisingApe Год назад

Resin is harder than polystyrene plastic, but the main issue is the tags and elements on cast resin models are significantly larger and so blunt the blade. Particularly on single edge nippers like this one.

@Wijkert Год назад

Strange, any resin I have used in the past has been softer than polystyrene plastic.

@RisingApe Год назад

@@Wijkert I guess it depends on the scale of the resin, if you are cutting supports off 3d printed stuff that would be fine, but larger tags or chunks would be a no no.

@Wijkert Год назад

@@RisingApe yeah I meant same size resin as a plastic sprue

@RisingApe 6 месяцев назад

Hmm, maybe I didn’t articulate in the video properly, the very best cutters are so sharp that cutting through very thick plastic blunts them, better to use a cheaper pair for that and then best grade for clean up.
