I would not recommend using it for anything else just because it could potentially ruin the sharp edge.
I also like the precision tip on these.
The sharp jaw blades offer an excellent cutting edge and they have a slightly slimmer jaw than previous tamiya plastic cutter products enabling easier removal of smaller parts which have less clearance.
My first pair were the tamiya sharp pointed side cutter 74035 and there is very little difference between the two cutters with the exception of these having slightly longer cutting blades.
There is little to no sanding of nubs required after the cut due to the sharpness and the nice flat side.
Product description this precision side cutter has thin pointed blades and is ideal for removing delicate plastic parts from spree.
I have used several cutters and none of them is even a close match to this one.
The edges are nice and sharp and actually cut the plastic instead of snapping plastic.
