Dspiae Nippers

[Airborne01]

Thats my plan Barry.

You buy what YOU want, whatever does the job. When i was working on trucks i had bog standard tools but had some very expensive tools from snap on, i used these on certain jobs to save time and work. Jusy like the nippers.

Will think twice about doing any reviews in the future

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!

I'd love to get a set Bob and probably will one day. 30 quid is a little out of my reach at the moment though. Just bought the Xuron ones for now. But i shall have an upgrade at some point. Thanks for all the info.

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.

[BattleshipBob]

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

[Mr Bowcat]

I gave up on collet pin vices and bought one with a chuck, much more user friendly.

What make is that Bob?

[Mr Bowcat]

Alan, it's this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Expo-High-Q.../dp/B00APZZKW8

What a good idea. Didn't know they were made with a chuck. Changing the collet is a pain.
Thanks
