Do any of you use the decal scissors that Micro-Mark sells that are called, “Squizzers?”
I bought some a few years back and just recently tried them.
They are fantastic! They are very sharp and very precise for cutting out even the smallest decals. I highly recommend them.
Here is a photo of them from Micro-Mark’s web site:

From the picture, the “jaws” look a bit like the Tamiya stainless steel decal scissors… i wonder how good the control is (because of the spring-load)…
The control is excellent.
These scissors are actually manufactured for surgical purposes.

Can’t tell from the picture, but are the blades straight or curved? I have some scissors with curved blades that I love for most chores, but the blades are slightly serrated and leave a rough edge to the cut that isn’t really suited for decals.
Scott,
The blades are straight.

Thanks, Mike. May give them a try anyway.
I Use a similar pair of sissors. I bought it at the hobby shop for women, where they sell all kinds of stuff for 3-D paper work, drawing and needlework etc.
You use it as a a pair of tweezers.The advantage is that you can adjust it so you can’t cut to far. It’s an ideal tool for anyone with fingers that are to thick for normal sissors. I use it mainly for for cutting decals.

Mr. V…wouldn’t trade mine for love nor money[:D]
Amen to that my friend. [;)]
Everytime I use them I am amazed at how well they work.

MikeV, they just gotta wait pal, my next purchase is my “IWATA”. got to wait till first of the month but I’m getting it. The squizzers do look like something I need though. I have bought some stuff from Miro Mark in the past, some of their stuff seems expensive but I’ve had good results with most all I’ve bought. take it easy.
What is an Iwata? Is that some new Japanese car or something? [:-^]

I am the proud owner of a pair of Micro-Mark’s decal “Squizzers” and I like 'em !!! For almost all decal cutting … they are just the ticket … [swg]
