You have got to model the Trabant in the very faded blue colour patches, with the windows all steamed up and just a little round circle of mist cleared on the inside so the driver can just about see through, and four great hulking East Germans with a map of Europe ripped from a school atlas asking me for directions to where they want to go and marvelling at my road atlas of Germany, while one of them is filling up the petrol tank from a WW2 jerry can.

I have a Godhand nippers. Found them very good. A 100% improvement on the generic pair I had from Amazon when I started 18 months ago. Clean cut with little or no cleaning up after the cut.

Nice Doug, top of the line stuff. I have similar DSPAIE cutters and think they save me a couple of hours a kit on clean up. Completely different animal to wire cutters aren’t they….

I got the nippers after your buying the DSPIAE nippers and your comments about their effectiveness. I was torn between the two but wallet won the day.
