📝 Product Description

Tamiya Sharp Pointed Side Cutter (Item 74035) is a compact hobby nipper developed specifically for plastic model building. The sharply ground blades allow modelers to remove parts from sprues with improved precision, helping reduce stress marks and excess material at the gate.

The slimmer jaw design makes it easier to approach small or closely spaced parts commonly found in scale aircraft kits, military armor models, automotive builds, and Gunpla model kits. This added maneuverability is especially useful when working on delicate components that require careful separation before cleanup and sanding.

At 115mm in length, the cutter offers controlled handling without feeling bulky. The PVC-coated grips provide a steady hold during extended building sessions, making it a reliable addition to any modeler’s basic tool kit.
