Hobby Mio Single Blade Basic Nipper HM105

Hobby Mio Single Blade Basic Nipper HM105

Overview

HobbyMio HM-105 is a single-blade style hobby nipper designed for plastic model sprues. It uses a thin single-edge blade structure which helps achieve a flatter cut surface when removing parts. The body features anti-slip texture grips and comes with a protective blade cover for storage.

This nipper is intended for plastic runners and small plastic round bars up to 3 mm, based on the manufacturer’s cutting guidelines displayed in the product material.

Based on official warnings:

• Not recommended for metal, plastic board, GK, transparent parts, 3 mm+ plastic rods, or other hard materials.

Important Usage Notes

• Use the middle area of the blade instead of the blade tip.
• Keep the blade perpendicular to the sprue while cutting.
• Do not cut at an angle or twist while cutting.
• Suggested “two-step cut” method:
  
1. First cut with a small nub remaining.
2. Remove the part and trim flush in a second cut.
   
• Cutting effect may vary depending on plastic hardness and cutting technique (as stated in the official image captions).

Personal Note (From Ah Chong)

This is a basic single-blade option from Hobby Mio with a thin blade design. Based on the official product photos, it seems suitable for day-to-day Gunpla and plastic model work, especially if you prefer a single-edge style at an accessible price range. I’ll recommend following the cutting instructions closely because single-blade tools are more sensitive to cutting angle and material hardness.
