Conventional nippers have two ground faces meeting at the cut, which means they pinch the material and leave a whitened, compressed edge. The SPN-120 has one flat face and one bevel, so it slices rather than pinches. The cut comes off clear and needs no sanding.

The edge is ground to an angle that leaves almost no material to remove afterwards, which is why model makers and prototypers pay this much for a nipper.

It will not cut wire. Not soft wire, not staples, not photo-etch. One attempt takes a chip out of the edge and the tool is finished. Keep a second, ordinary nipper on the bench for everything that is not plastic.
