Italeri coupeur latéral plastique (1)

The Italeri Sprue Cutter for Plastic brings a focused cutting tool to model building, with angled jaws, blue coated handles and a compact format that sits neatly at the workbench while separating plastic parts from sprues. Its plier-style layout supports controlled hand movement when small components need to be released cleanly before the next assembly step. A spring between the handles helps the cutter reopen after each cut, which keeps the motion consistent during longer building sessions. The central metal pivot guides the jaws through repeated opening and closing, while the short cutter head helps reach tight connection points on crowded frames. This makes the tool useful when working around narrow gates, fine edges and closely spaced parts that need careful removal before trimming or fitting. Assembly is required, with a stated assembly time of 600 minutes. On the bench, the cutter fits naturally into the early stages of a scale model project, where parts are removed, grouped and prepared before sanding or joining. It also suits later detail work when a fresh section of the sprue still holds smaller pieces that need accurate separation for the next stage of the build.
