Getting new tools is every bit as satisfying as adding a new model kit to the stash, and they almost always take up less room. Win!

It's the little things in life. Like a little well made pair pliers. I have some many pliers, tweezers, cutters, etc., already. My cutters are new, but my goto needle nose, regular pliers, as well as tweezers are my originals, +30 or more years old. I guess I'm attached too them. Anyway, just ordered the magazine subscription today, check is tge mail. Thank you FSM

I'm glad the New Kit Rundown is back! The options in the Corvette were surprising but it looks like a pretty good value kit.

It is great to see the band back together! I missed these weekly videos! In regards to Xuron, I love each and every one of their tools that I have, which includes the pliers shown in this episode. I would really like to see them add a single blade nipper to their offerings.

Great pliers. For rigging, you may want to consider forceps. Pretty cheap used on line, terrific hold. In fact, I keep a pair with a rubber band around the handles to apply lower gripping force for delicate parts. Another great rigging tool is crochet hooks, to pull threads from tight spaces.

Forceps are a great tool to have at the workbench and I have quite a few. But even they have a hard time dealing with the super-fine rigging I use for WWI planes. These "pleezers" worked really well for it. -TK

Those are the Tweezer Nose model 450. I have a pair myself and they have been incredibly useful since I purchased them.

@FineScaleModelermagazine Ай бұрын

They are the Xuron Holding Pliers--new to the catalog and introduced in January. No. 452. Here's the link to Xuron's page. xuron.com/blog/traditional-tweezers-vs-xuron-452-holding-pliers/.

Sorry to say but Tamiya have already brought out holding pliers plus I think it's better to buy a photo etched bending vice. So there isn't anything new here just old inventions by another company that's already on the shelfs.
