No carry on Bob. Never find out about things if they are not shared.
So many views they are not going to suit you or other. But some do.
As much info as possible.

Don’t think twice about doing reviews Bob. This one was concise and informative. Those who have gainsaid your purchase and tried to trash your review simply do not understand what you have bought and what it can gain you in use. The continual comparison with archaic wire cutters just reinforces this viewpoint.
The DSPAIE cutters are reasonably priced Godhand clones that work as expected. They are not wire cutters. Your review shows they are worth the investment. Successful review as far as I can see….
I have no experience of those unpronounceable cutters but I do think you get what you pay for when it comes to tools. I started off with cheap tools but have gradually replaced them. I now have a couple of Tamiya sprue cutters which were expensive but work very well. Things like rivet makers, guillotine cutters, files etc all seem to work better when good quality.
If you are thinking of spending a lot of money on something it is nice to read reviews before spending.

I have had two pairs of these cutters - both ST-A 3.0. The first pair broke due to my clumsiness when I dropped them and broke the left hand tip. I bought another pair straight away because I find they are far superior to traditional sprue cutters. Having a taper on just one side makes for a much cleaner cut. That is not to say that I do not use traditional sprue cutters - I have four pairs from expensive to dirt cheap and I use all of them when the circumstances dictate. However, I only use the DSPIAE (pronounced Dis-Pay) for removing items from sprues and for cutting plastic card/rod when scratchbuilding.

Just in case anyone else was wondering what the difference between the 2.0 and 3.0 is, I just found this on the Dspiae website.
So now we know. :smiling5:

Oh where did the innocence of youth go. Open the box, pull, bend and twist the part and get it glued. Now it's cut with a pair of £30 sprue cutters, sand smooth, dry fit and when held in the perfect position carefully wick Tamiya thin along the join. As children we had the whole thing built, painted, displayed and destroyed by bed time :tongue-out3:

I remember the pull, bend and twist method when building my Airfix Prince in one sitting. Only paint I had was gold.

I think you should continue to post reviews mate; most modellers hold fairly firmly entrenched views on this, that, and t'other - I seriously don't think you should consider any 'negative' response as a personal attack on your perceptions. We're all big boys (and girls (although I'm not being 'sizeist, sexist or any other 'ist' I promise)); if or unless we've used the tool in question, or have a discrete understanding of the subject matter from a knowledgeable perspective our opinions are just that - opinions! I'm actively considering a pair by the way! (Tools, tools, tools - lovely tools My Precious!!! Feel 'em, smell 'em, use 'em ... !)

Thanks all
I will continue when i next force open the old and rusty wallet hinges.
Just hope people remember its just MY opinion.
I did forget one factor, due to the joys of ME i have some problems with my hands, pressing a door handle can be painful, so the need to only apply slight force with the nippers is a great help!

Thanks Al,
My pleasure, just hope it helps. Of course i know people have budgets. If it was not for your post, i would never have heard of them lol
Did my usual search for best price, made a offer on ebay and got one. If people are happy with what they have/use, then thats ideal
A word of warning with these nippers, make sure you don’t cut close to the tip, they will break, but it does tell you that in the instructions, used right they are really good, and little or no sanding required after cutting bits off.
Thanks John
Should have mentioned that!

Great review. I've got a DSPIAE pin vise with pcb bits, and a DSPIAE wet palette. They were not cheap but the quality is excellent. Good to know that that quality runs to other DSPIAE products, too.
As to the cost, I bought two cheaper drills before getting the DSPIAE one - both were complete junk. I'd have saved money (and irritation) if I'd just gone straight for the more costly option - you live and learn!

It is often the way..
The cheaper pin vices are actually more useful for holding round wire stock for bending and shaping than they are for holding drill bits. I have several. My “Best use” ones are made by Exacto tools though. Excellent quality with interchangeable collets for different sized drills.
I have the Tamiya pin vise, this has two sets of collets, the 2nd lives inside the body, not the cheapest but well made and well designed
