Your Bag

Review: This is a lot better than the Stedi chisel that I started with. I appreciate how slim the thing stays throughout, which allows for deep panel lines to stay roughly 0.15mm in width at the top. It's quite nice and sharp as well. However, I don't think it's good to the point where I'd pay $30 for a chisel again. If this breaks, I'll probably try some of the hook-nosed ones from Dspiae or GSI Creos. Edit: it's goated. The sides of the channel are much cleaner than other chisels. I'm only buying SAB from now on. None of this Stedi and Dspiae nonsense. BTW the handle from SAB is trash. You can look at my review of that. Don't bother buying it.

Review: Buying this is the greatest regret I've had in the $750 of tools I've purchased for this hobby. Rolls off the desk, all three came with rusty barrels, the hex key is made of rubber putty, the locking pin isn't held with LocTite or anything, the cap doesn't go anywhere, the cap has lots of threads meaning you have to leave tools uncapped for faster access, and did I mention this costs $10 and I bought three? Also the aluminum is low-density, the machining quality is very bad, and the finish is all lumpy.

Review: Really good and really cheap considering it's said to be 30 meters. Also, it's sticky enough that I can reuse one section for several lines on the same piece of plastic. I mean, I don't have to do that considering how cheap it is, but it's more just that I'm too lazy to cut a new piece sometimes haha.

Bristles are soft enough to sweep dust off but also stiff enough to get into panel lines without deforming before reaching the bottom. I like this. It's 4/5 stars because $7 USD is a bit much for just a brush, but whatever. It does the job quite well.

It's 1-cent USD for each toothpick basically. Toothpicks coated with compressed cotton are surprisingly useful. For example, I am building my EG RX-78-2, and I used cement to remove the seam between the kneecap-protectors and the shin. Some of the angles are about 90 degrees, and so it'd be hard to sand the globs of deformed plastic that are squeezed out when I pressed the parts together. One toothpick cleaned it up nicely. Specifically, the cotton made it so the tip deformed enough to touch both sides of the corner when a purely wooden toothpick would not have. I mean, this is a bit of a luxury since I could have used a napkin with a regular toothpick, but also, precision is nice and this hobby is all about spending money for a smooth process anyway.

The plastic is the cheapest, crappiest plastic possible. The body is only about 1.25mm thick, and sounds extremely hollow. The clutch is also just an extension of the cheap plastic handle. See picture. The collar is too light to even be aluminum, so I have to conclude that it's probably coated plastic. Even with the clutch fully tightened, you can hear the chisel rattle inside if you shake the thing. Mind you this is brand new and I picked it up from the warehouse earlier today. I feel so scammed. I can't believe I paid $12 for something made out of the same plastic as those $.20 plastic toys that you get at corporate events. This is worse than just holding the chisel in your hand.

I've been in the hobby for a month. I had Godhand-125 nippers before this and a scribing tool, panel liners, and a raser gate removal kit. I didnt have any of the tools in this kit, so I like it. shipping was fast as always and I appreciate the finish on the items. They're made out of aluminum and the quality is quite decent. The cutters are really nice. It's my first set of single bladed cutters, and it definitely cuts a lot more smoothly than my previous set. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't quite get cuts that had zero white marks. Anyway, for the price, I like what I got. I only paid $70 because it was on sale. 13% off I believe. Here's a random photo from earlier when I was playing with it. Also the review review below me is is complaining about expandability for the drill? Like, it's a drill? I mean the clutch can hold drill bits from any company. I can put a 20 mm drillbit in here with a clutch adapter. The drill is very fine. Perfectly expandable. It's like saying a pencil is limited because the company only sells pink paper.

The plastic is really deformable, so as you unroll it, it becomes curved outwards. Then when you try to stick it to something, it'll curl up q_q
