PRODUCT OF
THE MONTHPliers and Cutters
T
his month we are taking
a quick look at the Shesto
range of pliers and cutters.
As modellers it is always a good
idea to have a selection of good
quality tools, Shesto offer a
good selection of tools to suit allbudgets. If you are just starting
out a pair of sprue cutters is an
essential purchase and over time
you can add to your tool kit with
various shaped pliers which I
find certainly come in handy!For more information on this and

0208 451 6188BOX JOINT PLIERS & CUTTERS:- Precise
- Comfortable inbuilt spring
These are quality stainless steel pliers and
cutters, the box join construction means
that they will never get loose and develop
wobbles, but they will continue to open
and close smoothly.
HOBBY PLIERS & CUTTERS:- Great choice for modellers
- Comfortable inbuilt spring
These are an ideal starting point if you are
just getting into model making making and
will give you many years of use.
SLIM LINE BOX JOINT PLIERS AND
CUTTERS:- Delicate tasks
- Accuracy
This range as the precision of the box joint
construction with the added bonus of a
slimmer point on the pliers. This makes
these a great choice if your modelling
project requires the careful and precise
bending of photo-etch parts or wire.
COMBINATION BOX JOINT PLIERS:- Never develop loosened or wobble
- Great quality
These have the same construction style as
the slimline range but offer some different
styles of pliers suitable for bending metal
or wire into more complex curves and
round shapes.
VALUE RANGE:- Good value for money
- Inbuilt spring
The value range offers a more general
purpose set of pliers and cutters, including
sedated tip pliers. Whilst some of the tools
in the value range could be used for model
making, it would be best if you can to save
up for some of the precision sets and keep
the value set for those little DIY jobs that
need doing. This way you won’t ruin your
good pliers and cutters fitting new plugs!
