Professional 20 PCS Gundam Modeler Basic Tools Craft Set For Car Model Assemble Building(I)

Great tool kit for my grandson and his model building

As you can see from the picture this kit comes with a lot - nippers, sanding sticks, buffing sponge, screwdrivers, ruler, metal files, hobby knife, replacement blades, tweezers... yellow piece of plastic that I'm not sure what it's for... It seems like a great value for your money but unfortunately a lot of these items are either poor quality or unnecessary. The metal files are basically garbage, with bits of metal shavings falling off before you even try sanding with them. The screwdrivers are completely unnecessary - if you're buying kits that use screws, you're almost certainly not a beginner. I'm not sure why you'd need a ruler but I'm sure I'll find a use for it somewhere. The sanding sticks are pretty decent quality and sturdy but unfortunately there's no indication of what grit each piece is, so you have to guess and go by feel to make sure you're starting rough and working your way progressively smoother. The biggest disappointment for me were the nippers. They did a good job cutting through the plastic runners, but unfortunately the spring mechanism stopped working for me about 3 weeks after using. It can be a bit hard to see in the picture, but the metal spring is only held in place by a bent piece of wire pushed into a hole - only now it just keeps popping out, meaning the nippers don't open back up when in use. The hobby knife and the tweezers are probably the best things in here, although of the several pairs they provide I've only really needed to use one... but they have extremely fine tips at a nice angle that makes applying decals much easier. Overall I'm not terribly impressed and I'd recommend just buying the tools you need separately rather than trying to save money on this.

Great kit tools inside are good quality. Used it on many kits even building a TT-02 kit worked perfectly the magnetized screw driver tips help.

This is a nice and simple tool kit for building gundam or other similar models. They are useful for different types of hobbies or crafts. The small size makes them great for travel and storing. They do what is needed and were a nice price. My son is happy with them.

Stuff is usable and reliable and replaceable
