Clean Cuts. Sharp Precision. A Better Start to Every Build.

The AK Interactive AK9012 Precision Side Cutter is a practical and versatile cutting tool designed for accurately removing plastic model components from their sprues and trimming soft metal wire. Featuring angled cutting jaws, it provides excellent access to attachment points, helping modelers make controlled cuts while minimizing unnecessary cleanup.

Its compact cutting head makes it particularly useful when working with delicate aircraft components, cockpit details, landing gear assemblies, and other small parts. The ergonomically designed handles provide a comfortable, secure grip, allowing precise cutting without excessive effort.

Unlike cutters intended exclusively for plastic, the AK9012 can also handle soft copper and nickel-silver (alpaca) wire up to 1 mm thick, making it a useful addition to any modeler's toolbox.

Whether separating delicate parts from their sprues or preparing small wire details for scratch-building, these side cutters combine precision, versatility, and comfortable handling.
