My Sprue Cutters kinda suck.

Can anyone recommend a decent pair as I will be using them a lot on building a kill Team.

I use these: https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-TAM74035-Sharp-Pointed-Cutter/dp/B0131XZ92G/ref=sr_1_4?sr=8-4

These are my new favorites.

They cut like butter, and if I place them right, there's nothing to trim after.
These RuiTool nippers were game changers for less than $20.

For years I used the cheap ones that came in this assembly kit.
If you need cost effective, and could use the other items as well as a case for everything, these are good enough.

And if you want the deluxe expensive version there's always the Godhand

Note that all the precision snippers like godhand and the Ruitool mentioned above, then they are much more fragile than your standard "casual hobby clippers". Ergo they can break if you start trying to clip anything that isn't plastic with them.

I'm using some 6.00 cheapo "Sprue Cutters" from Hobby Lobby.

They have trouble cutting sprues though.

It will be used for IG and IK plastic only.

If you are working with cutting up chonky spure, or metals, a pair of cheep wirecutters is a good thing to have. Save the precision tool for the small stuff.
