stedi Hobby Model Polishing Tools 4 PCS, Ultimate Precision Files #10000 Grit Glass Mirror Grinding Tools for Plastic Gundam Models, Wood, Resin-Base Parts.

I've used these on a good dozen model kits since I've got them and they are fantastic for doing finishing touches on any nub marks or clean up tasks. The price is great for the number of files you get - primarily in different widths and ends to fit multiple needs. They work as intended and file down plastic parts very easily and cleanly. I've been using these for the past few months on multiple kits and they haven't deteriorated at all, do I'm confident in their durability. Just as a note, you can easily clean these - I use some basic soap, water, and a soft toothbrush to clean out any particulates from the sanding surface. This helps to maintain the grit and sanding quality.

I never knew I needed these until I got them in hand. Now, I want more. They are exceptional at smoothing and polishing plastic. I'm using them for 3D printed parts, but as long as you stick to soft materials, they should work no problem. Pro:They come in reusable plastic containers. These are a must as you should never let the polishers hit each other, nor anything hard. The pattern for each grit range is easily identifiable. There is no need to read the label on the smooth side of the polisher to know whichgrit you have in your hand. Cons: The two coarse polishers have a different grit on either end. There is no way that I can see to identify which is which without running your finger other it. There should be an indention or bevel on one end as an identifier. I'm just going to try marking it with a high quality glass pen. Also, the polishers are at their core just special files. This means they need a file card to keep them clean and free of obstructions. The first couple items I tried to polish turned out terrible, as the polisher fouled out and drug a set of deep scratches into the surface. This kit should include an appropriate brush to clean the polishers as they are being used. One other change I would like to see is different patterns for the grits to allow for a better range of material harnesses. In this regards, these polishers are in a very early stage of development. I hope they catch on so we can have more variety. TLDR: I love them and will buy more!

The STEDI polishing tools are a very useful addition for anyone working on scale models or detailed hobby projects. They are designed to help refine surfaces and achieve a smoother, more polished finish, especially on transparent or glossy parts. In use, the tools feel precise and allow good control, which is important when working on small or delicate model components. They are effective for gradually removing imperfections and improving clarity without being overly aggressive, as long as you take your time and work carefully. The build quality feels solid and reliable, and the tools are comfortable to handle during longer sessions. They make a noticeable difference in the final appearance of parts that require a clean, professional-looking finish.

I wanted to take my Gundam model building to the next level so I thought I'd try Stedi's nippers and glass files. Other brands are the Gunpla community's darlings and charge a little too much for their name, so I thought I'd give this brand a try, seeing as how their prices are so cheap. The files look and feel quality. In their little plastic cases, they are 3.75"x.75", a nice little form factor. I used them so file down the nubs I cut with the single sided nippers and achieved a very smooth reflective finish. It's pretty cool. The plastic dust easily comes out of the grooves of the files for cleaning.

Works perfect love them but only 4 stars because there fragile if dropped once from a short distance they crack. But all in all they clean plastics great.

These are great! I wish I knew about these when I started wargaming...it is much easier to remove mold lines without damaging my fine scale miniatures.

Glass files are very different than metal or paper files. Be sure to read the description and instructions. There are One-Direction, and are amazing tools if used right. If you use it wrong you will likely ruin the tool.

I bought these for the first new model I had built in several years, and was very very happy with them. They’re inexpensive as an addition to a model builder’s toolkit, and should last indefinitely with care. They’re easy to clean, simple to use, and produce remarkable results. They are a good size and thickness for a comfortable grip, too. I would strongly suggest that if you haven’t tried similar files before that you give these a try.

Elles sont tops Quasi aucunes traces sur les pièces des maquettes et ne change pas la couleur du plastique Le seul point négatif c'est qu'elles s'encrasse vite Bonne prise en main Je recommande pour faire des maquettes du type gundam

For years, I've used metal files. These are far better and get a much better result, particularly on flat surfaces as the files do not flex. The smoothness achieved is far higher than anything I've used before, you can get a mirror finish, easily.

I use these for gunpla (gundam plastic model) kits and they work very well. Pros: - The two lower grit files (320-400 and 400-600) are the ones i use most often for filing down nubs and excess plastic, doing a much quicker job than sand paper/sponges. - The 10,000 grit file is great for finishing, leaving a nice glossy finish - Good value, if taken care will last longer than sand paper and sponges Caveats >>> not bad hence 5 stars, but limitations and things to know about before hand: - For gunpla, have a small vessel of water to submerge these files in + dry cloth/kitchen roll as these will help prevent mess from sanding down plastics + inhalation - These files sand plastics very fast but due to their size are more adept at working on larger pieces of plastics rather than small intricate pieces, so be wary when working on smaller parts such as the helmet as they will eat into the plastics very quickly and smoothly which may ruin the kit (telling from experience) - In addition to the latter, would recommend buying dspiaes sanding sponge set both low grit (both the 180-800 grit and 1000-2500 grit) for more intricate pieces + working gradually to higher grits will also help the 10k glass file achieve the glossy finish

Ótimo polimento

Tienen buena manufactura y realmente le dan un acabado mejor a las piezas de los model kits. A mencionar que tampoco son milagrosas, hay que insistir y hacer un trabajo detallado y cuidadoso, pero sí logran pulir el material. Si hubiera incluida una cuarta lima de un grano intermedio entre 2000 y 8000 haría a este kit mucho mejor y más útil por su precio.
