If you want near the cut quality of the SPN-120 Ultimate Nipper but are worried about how fragile those blades are, then this is for you! This is an ideal started single-blade nipper because it is more durable while still providing a stellar cut quality. For normal plastic you can cut up to 3mm pieces, but for transparent or semi-transparent pieces you will want to limit cuts to 2mm max. PLEASE NOTE: These nippers are designed for plastic and PE resin, NOT photo-etched parts or cables of any kind!
