God Hand side cutters review

[mpk]

Hi Troy. Mine have blue handles. Do they differ from yours?

 

I took a risk with mine. I think for the price it simply isn't worth it. 

[Troy Molitor]

The package says GH, PN120.  I know I found them for $49.XX, just under $50 on Amazon.  I was looking for a cheaper brand/ version and when I found out they were all knock-offs and made in China, I knew I wanted GH Japan original.  The nipper also has an etched in JAPAN on the head of the nipper also.  Works (IMHO) extremely well.  I was happy when I tried it out and cut so close the sprue tree.  I believe you're the one that originally brought up this topic late last year?  You sparked my curiosity and I haven't looked back.  Someone did comment they dropped theirs and the edge broke.  I keep the tool protective cover on at all times.. This would be me to drop the tool after paying $50.

I have the two Dspiae cutters very happy but my go to cutters for years was Lindstrom https://www.heamar.co.uk/cutters/284-lindstrom-8142-80-series-cutter-7314150051007.html?gmc=3&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyoeCBhCTARIsAOfpKxjEaiZXDzsqUtPSGRZUeSjDQhLxxJKEykug-hbb8Gnm42NXpc8h4fwaAgxNEALw_wcB

Again not cheap but they keep going and are way more robust than the others plus the range of other hand tools is great.

I am glad they worked out for you. We've had very high humidity over our summer. Last Wednesday it was 84%. I think this was hard on the GH. Mine is the higher end model. I need to give it a good soak in oil.

The blue handle ones are SPN120, I brought a pair of them about 2 years ago in Aus for $55 or $57 Australian and they are still working fine, when new stock arrived in country they went up tp over a $100 but can be had for a bit cheaper if you shop around. They were a great investment, I also have perchased the DSPIAE version 2 for $55 and keep them for when the God Hands die if they ever do. Cheers Bob.

I must've got a Monday morning job.

 

Typical. Woe is me.

Welcome to the forum, Bob.

[TankBuster]

Thank you for the welcome, I am very careful with mine as I have heard they can break easily, mostly use my old tamiya ones for getting of the sprue and then use the God Hands for the final cut, unless they are very small parts then the GH's. Cheers.

You wouldn't need all those cutters if you just twisted the parts off the sprues.
