Little Nippers x 6 (Clamps)

Modelling Tools

 

 

Put away your dirty minds right now, as these aren't the nippers you're thinking of.  These little clamps are useful little things for holding your model parts together without putting a world-shattering amount of pressure on the parts.  They are made from a tough clear plastic, the flat jaw in clear, the other tinted red, with a small steel spring holding them closed.  Light finger pressure on the ridged handles opens up the jaws to a maximum of 19mm, and in order to hold your model parts well, they both have slight ridges to increase grip.  Put them on a highly sloped part however, and they will ping off, but that's just physics for you.

 

 

Each bag contains six clips for a mere pittance (25p a clip!), and if you're a neatness freak, you can hang them up on small nails by the hole in the clear handle in neat serried rows near your desk.  Modelling Tools are always striving to improve their products, and are currently looking into adding some form of rubberised tips to the jaws to improve grip further.  No doubt we'll report back when they have something to show for their efforts.

 

Highly recommended.
