Excellent and very useful tool essential for model railway track laying because it is quick and easy to use, as well as being quite strong considering its small size for cutting soft metals, But do not try to use it to cut through strong thick steel because it is not meant for heavy duty metals. You may just dent or snap the blades.

They cut through OO gauge track with ease. I would suggest cutting up an old piece of track so you get used to handling them if you have not used cutters before. A quick & easy way to cut track.

Whilst this tool may seem a little pricey it is very good value for money. My recent purchase was to replace one I purchased in the 1980's. I use mine for a variety of modelling jobs:- cutting brass wire, plastic kit sprues, removing brass and nickel silver item from frets etc

Used it for cutting N gauge track and it does exactly what it says on the tin. The cutting blades are at an angle to the handles so you need to watch the angle at which you cut, but once you've practised a couple of times it's fine. Much quicker and easier than using a modelling saw. An excellent quality product.

I bought this for the (fairly infrequent) task of cutting model railway tracks , because it calls itself a "track cutter". However, since it arrived it has been a go-to tool for cutting most metal and plastic strips/ wires. It s sufficiently small at the head to reach into some confined areas. Also the shearing action between the blades has been a revelation of clean sharp cuts. I have two other cutters but they no longer seem to be needed!
