Product overview

Tamiya 74002 Long Nose Pliers with Cutter combines a pair of serrated-jaw long nose pliers with an integrated side cutter at the joint. The high carbon steel construction provides both the grip strength for bending wire and holding small parts and the cutting edge for trimming sprue gates and thin metal rod. The tapered nose reaches into tight assemblies where wider pliers cannot fit, making the tool useful across R/C kit builds, scale model construction and general hobby work.

High carbon steel body with serrated gripping jaws.
Integrated side cutter at the pivot for wire and sprue trimming.
Tapered long nose profile for access in confined areas.
Made in Japan.

Notes · Q & A

What is single-edge (flush) vs double-edge cutting on sprue nippers?

Single-edge, or flush, cutters have one flat face and one bevelled blade, leaving a near-clean cut on the part side. Double-edge cutters bevel both sides and pinch, leaving a small nub you then trim. For plastic kits, flush is worth it.

Can I use hobby sprue cutters on metal miniatures or wire?

No. Fine flush cutters are ground for soft plastic and resin; metal minis, brass rod and staples will chip or roll the edge. Keep a separate, more robust pair for metal and save your good cutters for plastic.

How do I cut parts off the sprue without stress marks?

Cut twice. Leave a little sprue on the first pass, then trim flush away from the part, blade flat to the surface. Cutting hard against the part whitens and dents the plastic as the blades pinch it.

Why has my cutter stopped cutting cleanly?

Usually a nicked or misaligned edge from cutting something too hard, or dried glue in the joint. Wipe the blades, add a drop of oil to the pivot, and only cut material the tool is rated for. A chipped flush edge cannot be honed back.
