Compact trimmer for model sprues and small parts

This side cutter is designed to trim plastic sprues and remove small detail parts during RC assembly and maintenance. Its slim profile helps you reach confined areas on components, and the angled cutting face supports clean gate removal before painting or fitting.

Use it on the bench to free parts from runners, tidy mold lines and prepare components for dry-fitting. Make controlled snips close to the piece to reduce the chance of cracking or deforming delicate parts.

Pro tips

Cut slightly off angle, leaving a little material for a precision trim with a knife if required.
Hold parts securely or use a small clamp so fingers stay away from the cutting edge and thin parts do not bend.
Keep the jaws free of glue and paint by wiping after use and storing the cutter in a dry place.

Can I use this on metal or wire?

No, avoid cutting hardened metal or thick gauge wire as they can blunt or chip the blades; stick to plastics and softer resin pieces common in kits.

How do I keep the cutter performing well?

Wipe adhesive and paint residue away after use, apply a drop of oil to the pivot occasionally, and store the tool where it wont corrode or get knocked about.

Is it suitable for tuning body parts and accessories?

Yes, it is handy for trimming light plastic accessories and tidy work on body mounts, winglets and small trim pieces prior to final assembly.

Should I cut before or after painting?

Best practice is to cut and finish parts before painting to avoid chipping; if needed, mask painted areas before careful trimming.

Where to source spares or sharpeners?

Check specialist hobby stores or online suppliers for compatible replacement cutters or sharpening services; verify profile match before purchasing.

Are there safety tips I should follow?

Wear eye protection for flying sprue fragments, keep fingers clear of the cutting face and work on a stable surface to avoid slips.
