2mm Screw Cutter for Mini 4WD Models

This Tamiya 74168 MINI 4WD 2mm Screw Cutter is a model-oriented hand tool for trimming 2mm and related cap screws used on Mini 4WD cars. The cutter combines a stainless steel cutting edge, a riveted pivot, and a compact elastomer grip to provide a controlled cutting action tailored to precision model work rather than general hardware tasks.

To use the tool, pass the screw into the front opening so the blade meets the shaft at the intended cut point, then squeeze the handles with a steady motion. The cutter aims to leave a flat, even end that minimises the need for filing and helps keep bodywork and hubs free from protruding fastener ends.

In tuning and build sessions the cutter is useful for removing surplus thread from set screws and cap screws after tightening to avoid interference and to tidy the model's finish. Keep it reserved for the softer fasteners common to Mini 4WD to extend blade life.
