    All my kit is platinum. Nippers, trowels, knee pads etc... - really good kit.
    Trowels are a lot heavier than you will be used to but this is a good thing once you get the hang of them.

    The nippers look flawed to me. They don't look like you'd be able to nip square into a corner.

    I see what you mean, but you can get in suprisingly tight to a corner with the heavy duty pocy nippers and they have more of an angle on the head than these bad boys.

    Might have to treat myself and give a little TF review
