They work well but one of the pair was plastic wrapped and the other wasn't... I'm pretty sure the one that wasn't wrapped was used - it was covered in hair and dirtSo these are ok. They are not great but for the price they are good.Made it through 1/2 of a MG Wing Gundam build before I gave up on them and switched to a more expensive pair of cutters. The pliers stick when closed which isnt great but again......price. Overall I will use the cutters for metal pieces only since they dulled a bit and are not quite aligned anymore (again, this is after half of a kit with a few hundred parts).So maybe it's just the models I received, but the metal is significantly thicker then the other models from microworld I've put together. To the point where it was fairly difficult to even bend on the larger pieces. And trying to bend the smaller folds and clyndrical pieces was practically impossible. The head was of course the most difficult and first part of the model like most from this brand. I think I counted like 15 bends to figure out, different angles, trying to make them all line pu and fit for the rest of the head and thorax really tested my patience. And I have all the various advanced tools for building these.This is more an 8-9 difficulity, they base most of the difficulity on the number of pieces and while this is on the lower end of the spectrum the difficult of assembly raises it significantly.UPDATE: Finally got it as done as I can. Then only parts that I could not get on are the wings which go on last. those attachments are practically impossible so I have a wingless bee. I could just glue it but I refuse to do that, it needs a remodel.Snippers don't cut like I think they should. I thought they would make it easier getting closer to the knot on my jewelry.Finally found ones small enough for what I wanted to use them for.Like many Microworld models, this one looked amazing but offers very little enjoyment. The metal is way thicker than most other company's use so the process of bending isn't as smooth as, let's say, metal earth or MU or piececool. I have built over 500 metal models, so I feel comfortable assembling any model, but the folds and seams on this one are just rough. The paint chips very easy and the overall look is laughable. This company also has a problem with the perforations they use on the bend/ fold points. They are not easy to fold, and when they do the metal is often marred and just wonky looking. It is extremely difficult to achieve those crisp, presise bends throughout the entire build. Maybe others will have better luck, but for me, I have to say spend your money elsewhere.El alicate de cortar esta bien, pero el otro que publican que es de punta súper fina, no es verdad. Es un alicate común y corriente, así que no es de punta súper fina. Publicidad engañosaThe item is cool but I don’t have the skills to assemble it. I had thought it would be good practice before tackling the warewolf puzzle but I can’t complete either. I’m giving the two puzzles to my Son if he likes the hornet I sent to him. I figured if a 14 year old can do it so can I but I was wrong.Kudos to the masters of these types of puzzles they are really cool.
