Games Workshop - Citadel Tools: Mouldline Remover

Product Information

So I squoose them as hard as I could, and guess what, I noticeably blunted the blade which I could feel by running my finger over them. (crossways not lengthways, don’t try this yourself unless you clearly understand how a blade works!) So, first off, this is not an NDA thing, it’s just bad practice as a reviewer to directly mention other brands in a sponsored review of a particular product. But I am going to take a moment to remind you that we do have articles discussing the best Hobby Drills (because this one is bad) and Best Clippers (where these are ok, they are just expensive). The hobby-knife is decent at least and puts safety first. And finally, the Mouldline remover is still the best one you can buy, and it’s even better than the last. Honestly, and I do not say this lightly. This needs redesigning asap. It’s unusable. 2022 Refreshed Citadel Tools – Final Thoughts Well, when it comes to cutting fine details. And even I can’t believe I’m going to say this (honestly these articles write themselves). They are fine…

If you are a young person walking into a hobby store and need some tools to get started with that box of Space Marines you bought, this is what you’ll be sold. The essential tools are the clippers and mould line remover. And these are ok.The actual clipping end is more refined, The blade is thinner, the cutting angle is not as sharp and from the top down the whole cutting end is narrower too allowing it to fit into tighter gaps. This is true however the offset is very slight. By eye it seems to be ~1/3 to 1/4 of the offset of my Xuron clippers. in fact none of these choices are particularly bad, but the clippers especially are incredibly overpriced. It used to be that you could buy better “fine electrical” clippers for cheaper than what GW charges, but GW’s clippers were ok for the price, a fair starter set. bit now you can get much, much better, hobby clippers, specifically for models, for the same price. if not a few pence cheaper. If I were GW, I think they are missing an opportunity here. They should look to reduce the price to match the production quality they now have, and market them as beginner tools. Then they should design and release a series of pro tools aiming to be the best-in-class. In the announcement post GW stated that these new clippers feature a “clever stopper system also makes sure that the blades don’t get dulled, so they’ll stay sharp. My immediate thought was that the blades are offset. Offset clipper blades do not meet blade to blade; one is positioned slightly higher than the other so they intersect. A smooth cut is made when the bottom blade slices cleanly past where the top blade began its path.

The rubbery shell is an addition to comfort. The rounded body has a comfortable girth to be held for hours. (grow up) and less to a flat part at the tip so that you can pinch it snugly between your fingers. (seriously, grow up) I would consider this a strict upgrade over my basic hobby knife and I’m happy to have it in the tool box. Parting Thoughts I wouldn’t even say this one is overly expensive either. of all the tools this is probably the cheapest for Games Workshop to produce, but it’s also the one they will definitely sell the most of. Much like the new Painting handle, the 2022 refresh of Citadel’s Tool choice represents an overt cheapening of their Hobby Tool range with only a slight improvement to function – see there is some positive improvement here.Well, the drill works – if you have large hands. For smaller hands like mine, the bit-securing barrel is placed exactly where your fingertips will rest. This makes turning the drill really uncomfortable and unintuitive, and the two plastic fins are more of a hindrance than a help. I found it pretty much impossible to find a grip that felt comfortable and safe. I would love to sit in a room with the person who designed this, and the person who signed it off for production. I’d love to know if either of them used it. Oh no, I’m not going to go easy on this at all.
