Tiny Sprue Cutters AKA Cuticle Trimmers

I've been looking for some smaller sprue snips because the Xuron trimmers will often break small parts.

I tried some of the tweezer style clippers, but they don't work well if the plastic is thick.

The other day I saw some cuticle trimmers at BB&B and decided to try them. They work really well. The can cut through pretty thick plastic and not trash the part.

Here's the link if you're interested.

Been using that type of "Nipper" for years. They do work well for cutting small parts off the sprue. You could have saved a lot of money though. They carry those at most dollar stores.

The BBB are made in Germany and I'd rather give my financial support to the EU than China. I'm sure the quality is better also.

Just a personal choice. I like my standard of living in the free world.
