Every hobby bench needs one tool that just does everything this Tamiya long-nose pair reaches where fingers can’t, holds parts steady for gluing, bends wire into shape and snips it clean, all without swapping tools. Built from high-carbon steel with a quality finish, it’s the sort of thing you’ll pick up on every single build.

Why it’s good

• Slim, tapered nose reaches into tight assemblies and awkward corners
• Built-in cutter trims wire and fine sprue without swapping tools
• High-carbon steel construction with a quality finish, built to last

How to use

• Grip and hold small parts steady while glue sets
• Bend wire or photo-etch to shape with the tapered jaws
• Snip wire, sprue nubs or etch tags clean with the integrated cutter

One tool, three jobs less rummaging in the toolbox mid-build.

A do-it-all pair for the bench. Pairs perfectly with a pin vice and a set of files.
