- Share the positive experience of our cooperation and recommend us to your friends and acquaintances:
Painting small parts held between your fingers means two things at once: smudged paint and grease on the surface. Clips solve that – the part goes into an alligator clip, the stick goes into a block of foam, and your hands stay free. The jaws are plastic-coated, so they grip firmly without scoring or marking the part. The stick is long enough to keep fingers well away from the painted area, which matters with an airbrush where a hand would otherwise shade the spray. There are twenty in the pack, enough for a whole model's worth of parts at once.

Frequently asked questions
Will the jaws damage a varnished surface?
Not if you grip somewhere that ends up hidden anyway – the inside of a part, a mating face, a sprue stub. The jaws are plastic-coated so they will not score fresh varnish, but truly wet paint can smear against anything.
What do the sticks push into?
Most commonly a block of extruded polystyrene or a piece of packing foam. Anything that holds the stick upright and will not tip over does the job – ideally one block for a whole batch, so everything dries together.
What size of part do they suit?
Small to medium – heads, arms, wheels, gear, smaller running-gear parts. For a whole vehicle hull a clip is too short; there a handle is screwed or glued to the model instead.
