    Anyone have anything to say regarding the Tamiya 74035 Sharp Pointed Side Cutters? (Link; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J47Z4G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2TB4CXN3QQRPH)

    I’m thinking of getting one along a compressor that I might order. (Speaking of which anyone have an idea on where to get a good priced one? The one that’s in my Shopping Card is this one (link; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H3CBXO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A23ADOZFIJNPFB).

    Let me know what you think since I’d like to actually get a good compressor & possibly the best nippers money can buy.(So is there another Nipper that is just the best?)

    • I haven’t bought a compressor yet so I can’t chime in on that one, but I can chime in on the nippers. God Hand Nippers are touted as the best by many people, but honestly, those Tamiya Side Cutters will work just as well.

      I have a GHN and yes, it slices through nubs better than my 2-year-old Xurons, but not so much that I don’t need to do any clean-up sanding after.

      • Thanks 😀

        Went ahead and bought both 74035 & Ultimate Nippers by God Hand

    • I have Tamiya’s Sharp Point Side Cutters. They are a worthy upgrade. Get them. However, I have heard the God Hand Nippers are better. They are very hard to find, and extremely expensive. If you have some money to burn, by all means, buy them.

      I have the Harbor Freight 1/6 HP 58 PSI compressor. It works great, and it’s only sixty five bucks. I haven’t heard of that Master one.

      • Thanks, I went ahead and bought the Tamiya Cutters & the God Hand Nippers aswell, one for initial cutting and another for clean up.

        I went to Harbor Freight yesterday and I think I know what you are talking about. Is it the one with the Moisture Filter included? IIRC it was about $67 so yea. I wasn’t happy being told that the 20% Off Coupon they have doesn’t apply to Compressors? the hell. Happen to have a link to the Harbor Freight Compressor you have? Would you say that the Moisture Filter is necessary? Cause just on reading I’ve seen people swearing it is.

          • Ya it was this one, I was thinking of getting it.

            The Harbor Freight by my area is gonna be holding a Parking Lot Sale on March 7-9 and I’m considering waiting since it might be on sale during then. What do you think? If anything I might get my wife to pick this up for me today though… How do you like the Hose it came with? Would you suggest one of the better hoses or does this one work well for you?

            • I got Badger’s air hose because it would work with the quick disconnect adapter for the Badger airbrush. The hose should work fine, though.

              • Alright, the reason I’m asking is because the one I linked in the original post looks exactly like the one Harbor Freight carries except with a better hose. Still unsure which one to get though.

              • Which do you think I should get? And I’m not entirely sure what people mean when they say Quick Disconnect… Care to have the time to help me understand it? and what I would need to get for them work on my Iwata Neo?

                • Get the HB one. It will last longer.

                  Quick disconnects are little pieces of metal that allow you to disconnect the airbrush from the hose without screwing it on or off, thus earning the name “quick disconnect.” It particularly comes in handy when cleaning the airbrush. Look for Iwata’s quick disconnect adapter, if they have one.

      • Mind sharing the benefits of the Compressor you linked?

        My budget for one is $70 but I might be able to find one 😐

        As far as the cutters I sadly already bought 2 pairs ;__;

          You get a much more stable airflow with a tank. It also means the motor does not run all the time which makes for longer life. Even the auto start/stop non tanked compressor runs the motor at full when it’s on.

    • I still like my good ol’ Xuron cutters…
