Firstly, let's clarify two things: This is a double sided nipper, and it costs $10. For the price point it's excellent. It does everything I want from a workhorse nipper, and it's thinner than Bandai's Entry Grade nippers. Bandai's have a thicker head which means they're often too thick to cut the nubs/gates at a good angle, the Mineshima's on the other hand are thinner allowing me to get a MUCH better off the runner. In essence these lead to a lot cleaner cuts then Bandai's EG nippers, and I even like them more than the workhorse nippers I was using before.
