Description

GodHand Kids Nipper EX (KPN-95) — a single-edged nipper sized and shaped so younger builders can cut safely, while still producing the clean cut surface GodHand is known for. Also a good fit for adult modellers with smaller hands, or anyone who wants a compact nipper on the bench.

Key Features

  • Single-edged blade for a clean cut surface
  • Grips shortened for smaller hands
  • Rounded blade tip to reduce the risk of injury from touching the point
  • Sharp, durable blades
  • Cutting capacity: 3 mm or less (PS, PP, ABS, PE resin)
  • Not for photo-etched parts

What's Included

  • Kids Nipper EX (KPN-95) x 1
  • Protection cap x 1

Using & Caring for Your Nipper

The KPN-95 has a shortened grip and a rounded blade tip so smaller hands can work safely, but it is a genuine single-edged nipper, not a toy — the blade is thin and it rewards good technique. The habits below are worth teaching from day one.

  • Cut twice, not once. Take the part off the runner with a rough cut a few millimetres away from the piece, then trim the remaining nub flush. Cutting flush in one pass forces the blade through more plastic than it is designed for and leaves stress marks on the part.
  • Let the blade do the work. Close the handles in a straight, steady squeeze. Twisting or levering the nipper sideways while the blade is engaged is the single most common way to chip an edge.
  • Plastic only. Never cut metal wire, photo-etch, staples or hardened gates with a plastic nipper. One cut is enough to ruin the edge permanently.
  • Mind the thick gates. On heavy or reinforced gates, remove most of the material with a hobby knife or side cutter first, then finish with the nipper.
  • Wipe it down after a session. Plastic dust packs into the pivot and the flat face. A soft brush or dry cloth is enough — no solvent needed.
  • Keep the cap on. The supplied protection cap is not packaging. Store the nipper capped so the edge never touches another tool in the drawer.
  • A drop of light oil on the pivot every so often keeps the action smooth. Keep oil off the cutting face.
