I might be able to provide some insight from a scientific perspective. For the high end nippers, the reason they are so fragile is because the steel has been hardened - where it gets heated and cooled rapidly. If you have ever seen a blacksmith quench a piece of glowing hot metal in a bucket of water or oil, that is to increase the hardness. The sudden change in temperature locks the crystalline molecular structure in place. This is what allows the blades to retain their sharpness. The trade off is that they lack the malleability of normal carbon steel, so the structure is very rigid - but also brittle. I believe what you were referring to with the dspiae may actually be a type of brake. I haven't used them myself, so I can't say for sure, but that's what it sounds like. Due to the fragile properties of the hardened steel, they engineered a mechanism to prevent a high force collision that could potentially damage the blades.
shin, thanks a ton for the awesome breakdown. i really appreciate you providing some insight. ill have to investigate this with dspiae and see if this is what im experiencing. thanks again.
@@GunplaUniversity I try to contribute to the overall knowledge base of the Gunpla community where I can. It has come a long way since I first got into the hobby back in the 90s. I'm happy to see how it has grown - largely based on people sharing information. I work as a production engineer in manufacturing, so material science is part of my field. The builders on CZcams share their techniques and experience which motivate me to work on my kits, so I try to provide something in return.
Every aspect of this review is perfect. Presentation, editing, content, and analysis. Great explanation, comparison, and you don't ramble. I love it. Instant subscribe.
Went and bought myself the God hand PN 120s and so far I’m loving them so far it’s really helping me enjoy starting out gunpla building and the cuts....Jesus it’s amazing 👌🏼 but I do think this video was very informative, keeps my mind open to other products and it’s nice to hear someone who does this for a livings opinion so with that thank you sir 🙏🏼
Man this was a great video. Been debating on buying my first pair of “real” nippers to upgrade from the 10.00 hobby lobby set I’ve been using forever. Now just the debate of if I wanna spend 35 or 45 lol...
Thanks for the review man. My good old Tamiya nippers are kind of worn out after 6ish years now. I think I'm going to pick up a USA Gundam one next time I do an order from them as it's within the budget.
Love the layout for this, did some jumping around already. Gonna sit and enjoy this tomorrow I expect. Thanks for providing the timestamps, means I can get to what I need faster. Nicely done man
sweet, hopefully this one was a good review. might make this yearly. yea this video is soo long and admittedly there are some parts where i forgot to cut a section because i was editing this at like 5 am lol. so they chapters really help to skip around.
Same here, Tamiya + God Hand. Back in the day I actually started with scissors on a Swiss Army knife. 🤣 They're AMAZING for cutting out water slide decals though. This is great content, btw. Definitely valuable info for the community - newer builders in particular.
Wow, great video. Thanks for posting and the info. May I suggested a few to look into: Mineshima nipper d-25, similar to Tamiya sharp pointed side cutter. I find that it's a bit cheaper and very durable. I think it was about $25-$30 US each. I usually do 2 cuts process as well. D-25 or the Tamiya first cut, then the SPN-120 for the second. For the SPN-120, I have to be very careful since the tip breaks easily if cut into the thick runner the wrong way. Yeah, broke and banned 2 of them by my daughter. Sure it was expensive like no tomorrow...LOL. Anyway, after a hundred models or so for the SPN-120, It eventually get dull. But worth the money and if you don't mind to wait, you can find it online with a better price. Thanks.
Loved the video and the timestamps. I did miss the inclusion of the TAMIYA nippers, especially since most brands mentioned here are not available in the EU. I have the TAMIYA 74123 ones and they cut like a hot knife through butter. Planning to get the God Hand SPN-120 at some point. Thank you for the reviews.

@@AvArIeNmArKu4 you watched my video.....so you know i speak english...yet you came with a other then english response....... go watch one of them REAL model makers then bro pfft. damn trolls smh
going from double blade to single blade nippers is like nailclippers to nippers. $36 seems like a sweet spot for single blade but i saw an ad for $24 Trumpeter. (usually $36). The less nippers crush and the more they slice the better the finish and least whitening.
That second Hang up on the Dspiae 3.0 is because the stop screw isn’t adjusted correctly. You need to make small adjustments in the stop screw until the nipper blades meet completely flush if the screw is too far in, they will over close and the blade will slip under the flat side causing hang up feeling on close.
Just completed evaluating 22 different nippers and agree with all your comments. GH SPN-120 10+. All others are wannabes. However, the DSPIAE 3.0 is close.
So, I've been using GIC TC-04 single blade nippers. I like 'em, but I've never used anything higher end, so I can't really compare. Anyway, they're like 20 bucks from Galactic Toys. I'll take your advice in mind if I decide to trade up.
I didn't know jack about nippers and got tge citadel hobby nippers. They are alright. Definitely considering some of the ones mentioned here. Thank you!
@@GunplaUniversity i guess im kinda weird lol. I use the tamiya for cutting the parts off runners. Then i use the pn’s for inner frame pieces then the spn’s for armor pieces.
@@GunplaUniversity yea the pn were my very first pair of good nippers. Then I realized that people had godhands with blue handles. So i was like let me get those.
leaking oil shouldn't be a deal breaker for you. Once the excess lubricant works its way out, there won't be any more (unless you lubricate them). Just work them open and closes for a few minutes to get the excess out before you start using them on your models.
Great in depth review so thank you I currently rock the tamiya long nose for the first cut and clean with the dspiae 3.0 I like them but I feel the good hand might do a better job so imma have to break down and get a pair but as for the 3.0 I noticed the don’t sit flush so before I make my cut I angle them down to make them even with the surface
thanks joey, glad you enjoyed!!! i can see the dspiae's being good "clean up" nippers with there super sharp blade that gets really close. those of you who do the two cut have way more patience then me lol i applaud you.
36$ Usa 2.0 or God hand 54$ hmm I currently have all my builds preorder so I'm actually not building yet but I'm leaning on price. I'm new to building and I kinda went wild on my ordering. RG Sazabi,NU Gundam, Crossbone and Gundam unicorn. I bought a HG Barbatos for practice. Covid has spiked the market.
looks like you have a good lineup already started lol. the usag 2.0 are good nippers no doubt. if you want the best of the best though then you get the God Hands no question. Check out mecha warehouse, i think they may have some godhands in stock and you can use my code to maybe make it cheaper then 54$
I recently dropped my godhands and they stuck straight into my wood floor bending the blade. Im going to get another pair though they just cut so smooth. Ive been using the usa gundam 1.0s as my first cut nippers since they came out and pretty much agree with your assessment of them. I might throw in a pair of 2.0s to get free shipping on my next order to check the improvements out.
im rocking the god hand spn 120 as well as USA Gundam store v1 and v2. The god hands are just way too expensive in Canada and at 35 bucks with free shipping to Canada on your order for USA Gundam those things are beast mode
Honestly ngl nail clippers are sick for rounded/ cylindrical parts cause the clippers are rounded unlike every other nipper which is flat for 99% of the parts
Sweet review sir ~ having tried all those you mentioned I am 100% in agreement with your conclusions! Wasted money on DSPIAE and all the others. I always put everything into SPN-120's. It's a relatively cheap hobby and these just make construction a dream. Just don't work over a hard tiled floor, damn things have extra gravity in the delicate tips 😭 One question, do you miss the earlier SPN-120's with those super pointed tips? I sure do for tiny detail work. Now all the SPN-120's have a 'chopped tip' which is likely because everyone was breaking off the points. I've tried to find the older versions but no luck. Interested to hear your thoughts! Cheers from Oz 🇦🇺
glad you enjoyed man. yea the GHs stil reign supreme for now. i havent been lucky enough to try the older versions of the spn-120s. i agree with you the spn-120s def make the construction faze smooth. so far i been lucky not to break a pair of GHs. the pair im using now are at about a year and a half strong. admittedly though i do jump around with what nippers im using and save the GHs for my best projects lol. cheers brother
For the $10 price point. How about the nanye/iPliers' god hand clones? They seem to get pretty good reviews all around, specially considering their price.
@@GunplaUniversity it's caused by a slightly loose pivot. I've just received 2 more pairs of brand new spn120s and one of them has that issue fresh out of the box. Depends on each individual's luck with the purchase lol. All i have to say is for such an expensive brand of sprue cutters, their quality control isn't that consistent.
Okay, I know where he's coming from when he's talking about nail clippers... But I had a bad experience when I was a kid. As an adult I filed my nails exclusively and don't use nail clippers. They give me anxiety so I stay away from them. Not like the suggestion triggered me or anything. Just thought I'd share this completely random fact with the internet. Carry on.
Do u know why my dspiae 3.0 have oil leaking out? mine has a ton of leakage. Also, for the shelf thing, I think you are talking about how it doesn't cut the plastic all the way. Sometimes, I need to use my finger to poke it out after using my dspiae's
So I’m planning to buy both Nippers and Infini Sanding Sponge(I watched your comparison video on Sanding sponge and stick) Question is, which nipper is a go to and consumer friendly for someone who never used a single blade nipper. I've been making Gunpla models for 2+ years and finished 3 MG kits and a PG kit. Should wanna save up and get USAG 2.0 with free shipping. Or have for better experience and spend $15 extra o, plus shipping on GH SPN 120
at this point in time if you want the absolute best then go with the GHs. if you wanna save a little cash tho and still get great quality you cant go wrong with the USAG 2.0s or the dspiae 3.0(best behind GH)
@@GunplaUniversity I already bought the GodHand since I was originally gonna get USAG 2.0, but my friends really recommended me to get GH since I showed them and compare to the nipplers and highly suggested to go for GH instead.
i would tend to agree with you but both my 2.0s and my 3.0s do it. glad to hear yours dont though. even with that little "shelf" issue they are def still real smooth
Somewhat new to Gunpla here. In the USA Gundam store right now, the PN-120s are around $40 and the 2.0 Nippers are around $38. With these prices, is the 2.0 still better than the PN-120?
at a price difference of 2 dollars either would be a solid choice. at 2 dollars you might as well get the one that you like better esthetically. if it was the SPNs then id say different.
if you want the absolute sharpest blade a very close to godhand go with the dspiae. the valtcan blade is a little thicker but youd be surprised at how smooth and premium the nippers feel for a company i never even heard of.
Really appreciate the timestamps!!!❤ Really wish more CZcamsrs would do this.
You're welcome 😊glad that helped you navigate through the video better. i think its a must for these longer type videos

@@NexusConvoy thanks for checking it out. enjoy the nippers!
Hrm CZcams deleted my comment for no reason. Try #2!
Are there any new nippers that might change the results of this comparison?
what about a diy exacto blade nipper
a diy exacto blade nipper? sounds dangerous lol
definitely, but sharpest commercialize edge comparable to razors
9:27 lmao those are the same ones that come with the Ender 3 and Ender 3 V2 (I have the v2, friend has the 3)
So which one is better the valtcan premium or dspiae 3.0?
if you want the absolute sharpest blade a very close to godhand go with the dspiae. the valtcan blade is a little thicker but youd be surprised at how smooth and premium the nippers feel for a company i never even heard of.
what about Mr hobby Mt106？
this is a model a few have mentioned. i want to include it in the next show down
What camera do you use
i use 2 sony A&3 Cameras
godhand spn are $100 in canada :(
Why have the price of God Hands gone up so much!? I just payed $60 for a pair and that was the cheapest price that I could find.
wow thats a lot. could be in part to the pandemic. been a lot of supply chain issues this year
no Tamiya useless
