All the Right ToolsJun 11, 2008
By J. Sherman
"The Critic"
When I started building plastic models, I bought tools that left my models scratched, chipped and jagged all over. It wasn't until I did some websurfing that I found the one product that meets all my modeling needs--Tamiya's basic tool set. This includes a side cutter for separating plastic parts; a metal file for smoothing out rough edges; a pair of angled tweezers for handling small parts; two screwdrivers for the models that require them; and a retractable knife with a snap-off blade. Most of these tools (two of which are untested) fulfill their purpose well, and all the tools make this set a must-own for any hobbyist.
This review will be revised with further testing of the product.
Since this product includes sharp objects, parental supervision is strongly advised if the product is being used by children.

Must-have supplies for building gunpla.Jul 14, 2010
By Corb
If you plan on building more then one model kit in your lifetime, this tool set is a must-have. A quick rundown of the contents:
Plastic Side Cutters - these are designed SPECIFICALLY for cutting the pieces from your plastic trees. I used normal ole' hardware side cutters, and they got the job done, but these will get the job done ten times better. You're gonna get perfect, clean cuts every time and no blemished plastic. The tip is also smaller and slimmer than the typical hardware store cutter, which is perfect for getting into tiny nooks. Definitely a must have.
Plastic File - Used to file away marks on pieces left after cutting. Again, any old file will work the same, but this one is shaped and sized nicely for the task at hand. Very good to have around and I have got plenty of use out of it.
Angled Tweezers - A MUST HAVE for applying decals, but also has other assorted uses. Mostly, though, if you've ever tried to apply a tiny decal to a kit, you know how frustrating it is to get perfect. This item remedies the problem one hundred percent.
Craft Knife - again, I have hobby knives lying around that work just as fine as this one already. This one is better than others in particular situations, so it's a welcome addition.
Two screwdrivers - They're screwdrivers. Not much to say here. If you happen to have a kit that requires screws, and you don't own a normal household assortment of screwdrivers, you're in business.
All in a nice little hard plastic case. If you are even considering getting into plastic model kits, buy this right away!

Everything I neededJul 24, 2010

This set is everything you need to start scale modeling, save for paint supplies and perhaps a pin vise. The tools are made in Japan and of very high quality- great for detailed work and clean separation of parts. The blade and side cutters in particular are amazingly sharp and precise.
I was using a regular lock-back blade instead of side cutters before I picked this up, and despite the fact that it was really sharp I'm now wondering how I could have lived without these purpose-built tools.
