Tamiya HG Tweezer Grip Scissors

Trimming decals and masking tape with full-size scissors is asking for a slip. Tamiya's HG Tweezer Grip Scissors fix that with a squeeze-to-cut action — one-handed, controlled, and with your fingers well away from the blades the whole time. Short stainless steel blades keep every cut accurate rather than wandering off the line.

Best for

• Trimming decals and stickers close to the edge without tearing
• Cutting masking tape into narrow strips for panel lines and canopies
• Snipping thin plastic sheet and photo-etch where full scissors are too clumsy

How to use

• Squeeze the grips to open and close the blades — no separate handle action needed
• Keep the safety cap on between sessions to protect the short blades
• 115mm overall length keeps them easy to store in a tool roll or drawer

Once you've trimmed a full sheet of decals with these, going back to ordinary scissors feels like using garden shears.

A small tool that earns its place on the bench. Pairs naturally with masking tape and a fresh decal sheet — browse the rest of the hobby tools range for more bench essentials.
