After I Buy Hakko CHP-170 Micro Clean Cutter, 16 Gauge Maximum Cutting CapacityI realize that plastic cutting isn't necessarily the intended use for these cutters, but they are in fact an incredibly functional and affordable alternative to, say, the Tamiya modelling side cutters, which run for something close to 4X as much last I checked.
I'm not a "pro" hobbyist or anything, but they are sharp - cutting the plastic smoothly and cleanly, blades have both a straight side and a 20 degree angle bend that makes them pretty much perfect for slicing runner nubs and the like.
