Sprue cutters???

OK, before everyone jumps on me...I looked through FAQ's and didn't find anything. I did a search, and found a comment to "get a pair". My question is, Does anyone use/like sprue cutters?
I was thinking of getting a pair, and wanted to know if they helped and were worth it? :bloated:

Any help is appreciated! :D

I use a pair, they reduce the chances of breaking the part on the tree. I think its worth it.

They are a must have IMO. Mine are from Pro Modeler, purchased at Hobby Lobby.

I used to work with a $5 flush cutter from my hobby shop. Then I bought this from HLJ

The blade is smaller than my old one so it can get cut off those pieces that are attached to the sprue weirldy. I still need to sand a bit to get rid of the excess plastic but it's good. I make cleaner cuts with it. There's also this, I think it's probably a little bit bigger but cheaper.

Go to Radio Shack and buy the red handled flush cutting wire cutters, they are the same thing and their only $3.99

definatly a must have, a somewhat good alternative to a knife if your not too fussy, and dont wanna get cut. I got mine at walmart :) They are also good for scratch building things

Exactly what I use and well worth the money in my opinion.

ive always used a pocket knife with cutters to separate the parts. But for bigger pieces its a pain. Ill prolly get a pair of these shortly

They are a must have and very handy

Wire Cutters work well!~ :biggrin:

Thanks to everyone for the comments and tips! :dogpile: I was pretty sure they would be worth it.

My personal opinion is what's the point?:eek7: Why spend the extra cash on getting them when the job can be done with a pair of small wire cutters or nail clippers.

I use nail clippers too !
