Tamiya Craft Tool Series No.68 Etching Scissors Plastic Model Tool 74068

Separating photo-etched parts, which previously required using a utility knife, is much easier and more reliable.

The etching scissors are hardened and sharpened as a special tool, making it easy to cut even hard stainless steel etched parts without worrying about deforming the parts. Comes with a cap to protect the cutting edge. The small size of the blade, approximately 1cm in length, allows the cutting edge to fit into narrow gaps and cut delicate parts. Furthermore, it uses a slightly curved "sled blade". Since the cut part is clearly visible, burrs can be kept to a minimum and subsequent finishing work can be done quickly.
