Smaller than I thought they would be, arrived in original blister packaging undamaged. The jaws are quite small & look as if they would have difficulty cutting, however Tamiya quality came to the fore and the sprue/runners cut accurately and easily. Best stored in their packaging to avoid damaging the 'pointy bits'! Expensive, yes, but I would rather pay for these than 'buy cheap, buy twice"!
For plastic modellers, this is what you need for removing parts from the sprue. Very sharp and fine. Makes a clean nip leaving very little to be sanded. Pricey, but worth it.
