Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Not sure why this is listed under toys as it's a tool, and a sharp and dangerous tool for kids.
The tool itself works very well, assuming you're using it for its main purpose of cutting plastic pieces of a model away from the sprue (tree). It does leave a bit of plastic on the piece you are cutting away though, so I can't give it 5 stars. You'll still have to scrape with a hobby knife or sand or file it.
It's now way overpriced since I bought mine, retailing at around $20 from a $27 msrp. I bought mine for about $8 when it came out.
I would suggest not getting this tool and instead buying the Xuron Ultraflush Cutting Shear 4'', model #410A (not model #410). It actually cuts much closer than this tool, but can only be used on plastic models (not for cutting metal wire) or else you'll damage the blade. It retails for only $8.69 and is of high build quality.
