UMM-USA has provided the reviewer corps with a side cutting Sprue/Wire “ROUND” cutter. It is labeled “Round” because the cutting jaw is circular at the tip.

The cutter is made from hardened steel and the “tweezer-like action” allows for precise cutting to remove small parts from sprues with a flush cut which will reduce sanding at the attached point. Also, it has a tapered edge and will allow access in tight places for parts removal.

Reading the description on the website (UMM-USA.com), the cutter can also be used on resin, soft wires and photo-etch.

For my sample, I cut some parts from a current project on my hobby bench. As advertised it cuts well and very close to the edge. A little soft sanding may be needed to remove the remaining sprue attach nub but overall, a close cut at the surface. Its small size makes it a very handy tool to have resting next to your tweezers or sanding sticks and will not take up too much space.

Conclusions

This is a neat tool to have on the hobby bench. It is small and easy to grab when a quick cut is needed. Cheaper than a set of plier-like nippers (think Godhand) and cuts flush to the surface with the “Rounded” end. For the price point that is offered, it is a great value to the hobbyist.

I want to thankUMM-USA for providing this Sprue/Wire Cutter and IPMS/USA for allowing me the opportunity to review.

Recommend for everyone!
