General Hobby Nippers
Unless you’re a 15 year-old me you’ll want to do the smart thing and cut – not rip – all your Gunpla pieces from the runners. The easiest and safest way to do so is with a pair of hobby nippers (also known as hobby cutters or side cutters).
Ranging from $10 to $80 you should be able to find a pair at any hobby store and many online retailers. You’re probably wondering, is the more expensive pair better than the cheaper pair? Well, the short answer is, yes. Long answer is that generally, especially when it comes to tools, you get what you pay for.
