Product overview

Tamiya 74065 Non-Scratch Long Nose Pliers combine a narrow, tapered jaw profile with replaceable white plastic pads that protect the gripped surface from scratches. A two-position adjustable mechanism sets the jaw spacing, and spring-loaded action keeps the jaws open between grips. The plastic pads are held by Phillips screws and can be replaced when worn, with refills available separately as Tamiya item 89950. Suited to R/C assembly, scale model building and craft applications where marking the workpiece is not acceptable.

Coated long nose jaws with replaceable plastic pads.
Two-position adjustable mechanism with spring-loaded jaws.
Replacement pads available as Tamiya item 89950.
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.
