Scissors, Pincers, Pliers & Tweezers

These are tools that you may have seen on all days works in home or garage. On the basic modelling work you don't need all, but it's good to know where to find when you need them.

(ATTENTION !! If you are Under 16 years ask to an adult to help you because some tools are very dangerous !!)

1) Little scissors that I found on a home sartorial kit, very usefull on most works, not to use on cutting sprue or heavy pieces. Good to cut masking tape Frisket, better if they are very sharp.

2) This are cutting pliers for electronics but they are very good for snipping of the pieces of the models from the mold sprues. Usefull also for cutting little pieces of metal rods (under 1mm diam.)

3) These are more heavy pliers that I use to cut the metal rods (more than 1mm diam.) necessary for help gluing togheter heavy resin parts or to make model stand on a diorama.

4) These are scissors for electrician that are good for heavy works as cardboard or plastic planes. Usefull everywhere.

A) These Pliers have a curved beak and are good to place things in strange points with a tight area.

B
) These are special pliers that I use to make little rings with small metal rod, they are usefull also for other work, It's your taste how to use them.

C) These are little size clamps that are very usefull for a lot of situations as bending metal rods or foils, crush togheter some hard joints ecc. You wouldn't need the first times but one or another you should search them.

D) These are little Pliers that I taked from an old emergency kit, they are short and with a little grip area. I like these type because the long type has too soft grip and in some circumstances I couldn't position well some small pieces. It's your taste to find the better one for you.
