Why do they always go for the god hands? Take the cheap nippers instead.


tard_farts

She knew enough to know I have cheap ones and nice ones, just got confused and thought they were the cheap ones. She knows better now.


SteveGo

Using nippers, period, to remove drywall anchors? Surely there's a more efficient tool for that job.


tard_farts

She tried other tools first. I wasn't around to make suggestions, obviously.


sureprisim

And this is why my gunpla tools are in a locked travel makeup box in my house. Like 22 bucks off Amazon.


Shasla

My wife and I just respect each other's things and spaces. I don't touch the things on their desk, they don't touch the things on my desk. Someone going through my things to find something, misuse it, and break it is wild to me. I wouldn't want to live with someone like that, would drive me nuts.


crym_fest

I'm not an expert, but I too had to remove various drywall anchors from a place I had just moved into. Not having many tools, I grabbed my entry nippers and they worked really well for the task. It came down to a lot of sniping and ripping of weird bits of plastic. Not fast, but they got the job done.


Just_Requirement_243

where is the best place to buy these? would amazon be a good spot? sorry for the silly question i’m just getting back into these!


DesuDesu17

I've gotten two from amazon. The first was amazing.... until a late night building session had my attention waning and I dropped it. The thin piece got ever so slightly bent and cuts were never flush again. So I got another pair, this one arrived in a plastic pouch with bubble wrap and doesn't cut nearly as flush as the first pair but better than the first pair after being dropped. Your results may vary but I would say it's probably better to buy them from a hobby store in addition to something else that would warrant packing the items in a box.


Just_Requirement_243

this is good to know, i’m definitely going to look around my area for a store that may have them


ThatGuyThatNeedsYou

Depends on where you live. Local hobby stores tend to go $55-60, Amazon doesn’t sell them but people using Amazon reselling them usually goes $50-70, and directly from Japan is usually $25-30 You might be thinking Direct from Japan is cheap, add the shipping fees and you’ll most likely spend $40-50, it still is cheaper than most hobby stores and Amazon reselling even kits like HG and MG but keep it a reminder if feels cheaper by bulk stacking multiple items in your Japan order for hobby supplies and kits combined. Not to mention you’ll be supporting your local hobby store for being the middle man buying supplies directly from Japan for you and if they do sales, it can be cheaper. Japan store don’t “always” have it in stock.


Just_Requirement_243

not aware of any local hobby stores around me so i’ll have to do some google searching but thank you for your help!!


gizmo1446

I got mine frome Hobby Town. If you have one near try them.


ChillinLikeAKrillin

did you forget to leave the cap on that says "god hand"


Bakumon0725

It's fine, just have her replace it with another Godhand and watch her go historical on an expensive tool for hobbies.


DarknoorX

"she knows better now" I wonder what could that mean lol


dvidthefinisher

They're the cheap ones now lol


usmc_delete

Nothin like the ol' backhand of learning! /s


kookyabird

Because people either don’t talk much about their hobbies with their significant others, or their significant others don’t care to respect their things. My wife always asks if she can use any of my tools. She also knows to not touch any of the stuff in the designated model area or the containers marked for model stuff. Like she would never grab one of my Vallejo paints without asking because they are not kept with our other paints, and no blanket permission has been granted. It’s not even about how expensive anything relating to the hobby is. It’s just that we have our own stuff and unless we’ve discussed it being “our” stuff we ask. Plus, since I talk to her about the hobby, she does understand that the tools I have can be delicate and/or expensive. So I’m covered in multiple fronts.


Belgand

That's what I never understand from these sorts of stories. What's wrong with all of these people who never think to ask before taking someone else's things?


Dr_Djones

"You know, those blue handled ones..."


BaconIsntThatGood

Do you keep cheap nippers and leave them more accessible than the god hands?


tard_farts

I build at the kitchen table so I can be around my family. The GH and the cheapies were both there along with my other basic tools. I think I forgot to put them back in the pouch when I was done, she would've known otherwise.


BaconIsntThatGood

Fair. Shit happens, sounds like an innocent mistake anyway.


Commander413

At least she broke them hard, your nipper went down with honor, rather than croaking because you tried to cut a moderately thick gate on a gloss injection runner


redditsellout-420

Better to die by the drywall screw then rust in shame.


MaliciousTent

Cliff from Cheers voice "Well there was this one pair of nippers, a contractor ya know home builders, well he cut 30 drywall anchors with that pair of nippers before breaking. That nipper, He was one of the good ones"


gizmo1446

I might be the only one old enough here to understand that lol


MaliciousTent

I was thinking there would be more of us.. So are is dino's pre-mech?


Kirby0189

It's best to store your nippers out of view regardless of if they're Godhands or not so your family members don't try stuff like this.


tard_farts

Yeah, I was halfway through a build and left em in their lil pouch thinking that was good enough. Lesson learned.


ABunchOfPictures

I’d be having her buy the next pair 😅


tard_farts

In a sense, she did. Money is tight so we discuss all purchases over $20. A new set of godhands was immediately approved.


MArXu5

good ending


DayDreamer2121

I personally keep all my tools in a hobby container for like arts and crafts it's multilayered and can store and organize any parts that I was working on if I didn't finish. No chance for anyone to make a mistake and I always know where everything is when I need it.


1derboi3

Time for a colony drop


rhubarbiturate

My dad used mine to cut copper wire and didn't understand why i was mad lmao. He bought me a new pair when he looked closely at them. He actually used two different pairs of mine (mr hobby and nicer tamiya) because the first ones didn't work as well as he expected


clem3603

Isn't copper litterally the softest metal ? I'd think the plastic housing wasn't a problem. How were they damaged ?


Ph33rDensetsu

Copper is not the softest metal, nor is it softer than gunpla plastic. Any type of wire is going to ruin God hands.


clem3603

I guess some nippers will be more damaged than others, understandable.


Ph33rDensetsu

You should always use the right tool for the job. Use wire cutters to cut wire, not flush cutters or nippers designed for plastic.


rhubarbiturate

It might not have been copper. It was a pretty thin gauge but it took multiple chunks out of the edge of both pairs that made them nearly useless

StirlADrei

A lot of these comments don't pass the vibe check, but why do people not use proper tools ever?


burningbun

because most peopl arent professionals. hell even professionals would use whatever they have on hand instead of the right tools.


Aperture_296

I'm not a pro at household stuff but I was a mechanic for a bit. If I had to remove drywall anchors but the heads were crushed and needlenose pliers just couldn't grab? I'd take a pair of sidecutters, get under the flange and lightly squeeze while lifting. At least they weren't trying get in there with a flathead trying to pry it out from the drywall. Side cutters are great for grabbing all sorts of stuff that pliers don't, provided you know the right amount of pressure to use so you're not actually cutting anything. The only mistake OP's wife made was she grabbed the wrong version of a tool that would work.


Professornightshade

Just show her the product on website. Let the price speak for itself then have her replace them


LightxDarkness93

rip.


nekoken04

Sorry for your loss. Luckily for me, my wife bought me my gunpla tools so she knows better. That being said for a number of hand tools, I have bought my wife her own because she has lost or misused mine too many times over the years.


amatsuastray

Ive seen alot of these posts where peoples spouses take their hobby tools and what not for house hold things. Do their spouses not ask before using their stuff? Is that not a normal thing? My wife always asks or she’ll message me if she can use tools not in the toolbox etc. Id also never use her stuff without asking because her stuff is just as expensive as my own and ik she would be make if i broke her stuff and vice versa.


FinalTricks

Yeah I wouldn't touch my wife's stuff without asking first. It's her stuff not mine. She also knows not to touch my tools mostly because she might hurt herself but also because she knows it's my tools and aren't cheap. If she needs one she will always ask what will be the best tool for the job and I tell her or I just do it myself depending on what it is.


err0rz

It’s karma farming ragebait. OP literally has a picture of a pair of nippers which have been broken mid build (you can see the build) The caption is only to generate engagement.

tard_farts

In her defense, she's very crafty and was in the middle of making me a gunpla display shelf.


SnooDoodles5429

Okay... temporary separation then.


tard_farts

Temporary, or until she buys me that new kit I've been eyeing.

Ok, I think that’s very cute. She’s a keeper and won’t make that mistake again! Plus, being called tard farts, I’m not certain you can do better…… lol

ReaperInTraining

I usually keep my Godhands (The PNS-135, I’m not made of money and prefer to buy kits rather than tools) in the box they came in so it’s clear they are not to be used for anything other than kits.


Exileman

My wife says to use her fabric scissors to cut cardboard. She says it's only fair but she's always been a fan of a nuclear response....


in1gom0ntoya

but, why use these...?


redditor777123

sry for your loss. so what did your ex-wife said as an apology? 🤭


McGillis_is_a_Char

/r/relationship_advice : Literally divorce her right now. Deport her from the country. /s Oof that was an unlucky flip of the coin with the cheap/expensive guessing game. I go by the rule of thumb that if modeling supplies have any Japanese on them they are expensive unless proven otherwise, but I guess a non-modeler wouldn't really know one way or the other.


Wonderful-Club6307

this is why I only use HobbyMio and Tamiya Kraft tools now.... even the missus accidentally used it it's would not give me agony and pain... (edit) on the brighter side you can use this opportunity/excuse to buy a new kit with a brand new GH nipper hahahaha


burningbun

how are the mid range cutters from china? hobbymio jas that suneye looking logo with red handles? the godeye are so fragile i broke 1 side of the tip can still be used but since godhand is so eexpensive and hard to find am looking for alternatives.

they are pretty sturdy. btw i use 2 cut techic when the sprue is a little thick i use a normal cutter to indent a cut point the cut it with straight edge.

actuallyapossom

Well it doesn't sound like she did it maliciously or out of spite. We can't know before we learn, and learning together doesn't have to be a confrontation when it could be a shared and positive experience. Your wife might be really receptive to you showing her why these clippers are special for your uses. I think sharing hobbies is a big adult relationship bonding activity. Not meaning to sound preachy or annoying, I'm just exploring similar but different replays of past relationships in therapy right now.


FinalTricks

While all this is true first and foremost you need to respect others belongings. Even if it's your spouse's stuff, I would say especially if it's your spouse's stuff. This shows a complete disregard for his belongings on her part. It seems she didn't ask permission to use them because I would assume he would have told her those aren't the ones she would need and would have given her the correct tool. First they need to have a talk about respecting each other's property and asking for permission when borrowing something.

Chimiku

Did you have the leather cover on? She would've understood that means those are more delicate than the other tools


SnarkMnark

You can leave a few threads of a screw in the drywall anchor and remove it with the back prongs of a hammer if they are the small plastic anchors.


Aggro_Will

Ohhhhh, that's the Gunpla version of using mom's fabric scissors to cut paper.


otakudan88

This isn't the first time I seen someone post on here about a spouse breaking a pair of god hands because of inappropriate use. The one that stood out to me the most was the one where the guy's wife broke them because she was trying to bend a hook on her bra.


SlyKuga

I know a good divorce lawyer if you need one. Lol


Zodokian

Im sure you meant to say ex-wife, right?


BlueBlazeKing21

Turns out she used them to build him a shelf for his collection, so she’s good


KingRokk

It's bittersweet too. She made the save of the century by actively building him a Gunpla shelf and he inadvertently screwed himself as she now knows how expensive those snippers are. Perhaps they cancel each other out? Sounds like it did.


tard_farts

It's true, I screwed myself, haha. I'm actually very fortunate, she's super great about my hobbies and I try to do the same for her.


KingRokk

Same here, my wife is super supportive of my hobbies and vice versa. Bummed and happy for you gunbro.

Aperture_296

Might be a bit overkill, but I keep all my gunpla tools and some of the supplies that fit in to a tackle box. Since there's three smaller organizers I was able to separate them between building, finishing, and accessories. I pull one for each step of a build and put everything back after each session. The family knows not to go in this box for anything household related. I also have a toolbox for cheaper household tools and toolboxes for my mechanics tools, the family also knows if they have a task they can't complete with the tools in the household box, to let me know. It might be a change in habits and take a little extra time each session but I promise once everyone gets in to the habit, this kind of thing won't happen but once in a blue moon. https://preview.redd.it/odw8r9qfyc9d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b883662b7cea70f16cda1de7c2b2c70197f7a8f7


Ron_Bird

removing a what?


valiantvikingvlad

Crazy though but maybe use the tool that's designed for drywall anchors? They are literally threaded and have a Phillips head


gizmo1446

If you have a Hobby Town near you, they sell them there. That's where I get mine


burningbun

what about dspia sta? looks like a godhand copy but half the price.


Nearby_Performer8884

That sucks. I'm gonna be honest though. If your wife thinks nippers are a good tool for that. Did she pop it out a little and try to use the nippers as pliers? She probably should not be doing house projects unsupervised. No disrespect or anything. I don't think she knows what she's doing.


EternalGunplaWorks

Is she accidentally think this is a plier or what?


pds_king21

Sounds like you're going to be hammering in some nails with the side of her louboutins today.

PPGN_DM_Exia

Why don't people store their Gunpla tools separate from their garage/handyman tools? I don't keep mine on the same floor, let alone the same room or toolbox.


tard_farts

It was on the kitchen table as I was in the middle of a build. She thought they were the cheapies that I have several of.


JoeViturbo

I broke some god hands cutting sprues on a gundam kit. I had only had it for about a week. When I asked for a refund or replacement they suggested I was using them improperly. I guess their sharpness makes them particularly brittle. I think I ended up just keeping my broken god hands, never built gundam again.


FinalTricks

Oooof


burningbun

well the instruction says you suppose to cut the sprues usong a normal cutter then trim the nub using godhand. but the clear parts are extra hard esp those gundam action base.


Justforgunpla

I truly wonder how people can be this genuinely stupid. Like this is plain dumb.


burningbun

go around town show them your godhand ask them how much they think it cost. only modellers know godhand.


Justforgunpla

This has nothing to do with the hobby and everything to do with common sense.


burningbun

nothing about the godhand make it looks like something expensive that should be used on delicate things.


Justforgunpla

Once again. Common sense. You don't use a wire cutter to remove nails. Seriously, are you just dumb? This has nothing to do with God hands.


burningbun

i use wire cutters for all sorts of stuff. they are durable as fuck. i can understand for common people they might not notice godhand doesnt look so durable and strong.


Justforgunpla

Then you, too, are plain dumb. Use the proper tool for a job, and it will never break. You're arguing a point that is wrong no matter what.


burningbun

you sound real smart. i dont see a problem using a real wire cutter to remove a nail. sure i could use a plier but a wire cutter does it well. im not the one using godhand to do so. but most people never heard about godhand and just think it is a normal cutter.


Justforgunpla

You sound really smart. I don't see a problem using my hand to hammer a nail in. Sure, it makes my hands bloody , but it does well. Not everyone has heard of a hammer and thinks using your hand is okay.
