Metal Earth 3-Piece Tool Set - Clipper - Flat Nose Pliers - Needle Nose Pliers

This is my first review - but I'll try to make it quick and straight forward. This set runs a little over $10, yea? Lets keep this in mind. I stumbled across metal earth and quickly fell in love! This is frankly a decent starters kit. I actually use these the majority of the time far into my 20+ somethingish models. With that said - yea those other reviews that claim the tools aren't 100% accurately aligned. If you purchase any other set in this price range - well it makes this set look great. Seriously I know. I'll be posting a review in the near future of what didn't work. So in my mind and rationalization this is a small concern especially compartiviely speaking. I'd recommend these to any metal earth fans just starting out. The set i received was pretty well aligned, although there were some gaps visible when held to a light. BUT this did NOT prove problematic. For its price - go for it. You'll most likely spend more on hobby pliers piecing a set like this individually. Also if you can pull of the bonus comment then you'll see even at a 20 price range still a great deal. BONUS COMMENT: if you feel the alignment of the pliers unbearable for some reason… Grab a handheld rotary tool (a.k.a. A Dremel or if you're on a budget some sort of knock & chorded Will most likely be cheaper. Also there's two different thoughts of battery verse power cord whatever floats your boat). Anyways yeah use that tool carefully on a level surface – with the proper protection and what not – To manipulate the pliers to close tighter… Or even sharpen the litter cutter tool. And that's just if your picky like me.

I bought these tools hoping they would help me with putting the metal earth models together easier. I love these they work great for the metal earth models. I have used other brand of tools which worked but not as good as these do. I especially like the metal cutter it cuts really nice and gets in the small spaces easily. Each tool is comfortable and easy to use. I have made a couple models with these tools and wish I had gotten them sooner because it has made it so much easier.

This is great kit that gives you everything you need to complete the Metal Earth sets. I got a load of the Disney themed sets and always struggled to find good tools to make it easy. These tools work great and make getting the metal pieces out much easier. Plus you don't have to worry about using tools from the garage that might have chemicals or oil on them. I did find that I don't use the pliers much, but the needle nose pliers and clippers are plenty.

Like most others, I purchased this to put 3D metal models together. The precision side cutter is a must to remove pieces from the sheets, and the snub nose pliers is excellent for bending smaller pieces as well as aligning pieces that might have got a bent when they weren't supposed to. The needle nose lacks a lot to be desired. I was actually expecting something with a smaller nose, given how small the pieces are that I'm working with. I'm actually still using a smaller needle nose that I had on hand, but that pliers doesn't work for longer bends. This needle nose doesn't work for that either because the edges aren't straight. Plus, you have to exert a lot of pressure on the pliers for it to keep its hold. I'm honestly not sure what good this needle nose pliers even is, and I've already ordered a replacement jewelers needle nose because of how important this tool is. That said, I give the set 5 stars because it is a good value. Two of the three tools are great, and that was worth the money I spent.

I just started the hobby of metal working. I went to harbor freight to get the tools I thought would work. Fail on my part. My attention was directed to this set. Night and day difference! They cut perfectly. They're not flimsy. They get into tight spaces. I cannot believe how well they work. Do yourself a favor and get them. You won't be disappointed.

Good product and good value.

Good Product

After reading all the reviews for this product, I was very hesitant about buying it at first. The main reason I ended up buying it was for the cutter. I will say that after receiving everything in the mail today, not one of the tools have any sort of issues with them. In fact, these 3 tools literally made the difference between me being able to make the model and me struggling to the point that I give up. I HIGHLY recommend this tool set if you are planning on building any of these sets. So far I have built all 4 of the halo sets, including the guardian that came with the limited edition halo 5 and I have absolutely 0 complaints!! As long as you have a little patience and even a little more time, these 3D models are completely worth your time!! 5 out of 5 for sure!!!

These tools make building the metal earth sets a breeze, the only extra thing they could add would be a flat pair of tweezers for some of the fiddly sections

Det glipar mellan tängerna hur hårt man än pressar ihop dem så man kan inte hålla i bitarna överhuvudtaget. Rekommenderas ej, KÖP INTE.

Da ich Modelle bastelte, waren diese Werkzeuge ein absolutes Muss für das vereinfachte zusammenbauen, habe sie schon eine Weile und bin immer noch begeistert

Superbes Pinces sui fonctionne parfaitement ! J'en ai tester d'autres moins chères mais elle ne coupaient rien du tout (j'ai du les renvoyer et prendre celles-ci), je suis très contente de mon achat. Elles coupent très bien et on voit que c'est de la qualité ! Parfaites pour les maquettes en métal (et autres petites choses)

perfect size as tool for model making.
