The set of tools is needed for models assembling to carry out all the proper operations and to give the product a finished look.
Especially for this, there is a set of tools in each box of constructors of size L and above. Metal Time also has a wide range of small constructor models that do not come with tools. To assemble the model correctly and beautifully, following the instructions, it is advisable to use tools specially designed for working with stainless steel parts instead of handy tools.
Pliers are the primary tool for assembling Metal Time models because they help to bend metal eyelets - the main element for fastening parts to each other.
Many models are complicated metal compositions with mechanisms inside. To facilitate access to such a complex structure and to attach parts to each other, long-nose pliers are used.
Using tweezers, you can separate the parts from the sheets, fold them and remove them from the model body if necessary. The file is designed to remove burrs, sharp edges, fit parts and tabs for fastening them. A set of tools is useful not only for assembling models. During the using of models, fasteners may loosen, parts of mechanisms may lose coherence, some parts may break. Therefore, it will be easy and convenient to make quick repairs or preventive maintenance of the model using a set of tools.
The Expert toolkit will help you to assemble or repair Metal Time models comfortably, safely with the best results.

The pliers are thinner and even pointier than the chain nose pliers already had before. I would’ve been a little happier if the tweezers were precision tweezers rather than detail tweezers though.

So……quiet the life saver when it comes to metal model building. I personally purchased this tool set specifically for Metal Earth models, and right away it was soooo much easier and less stressful to bend the tiny pieces of metal. I think you guys did a great job at picking the most relevant tools to put in the set, I was skeptical about if I really needed the pair of pliers with a less precise tip, but it proved to be quite useful. Okay, Enough with all the good stuff and now for the less good stuff: If you open any of the pliers too far, than it will kind of explode apart, but don’t worry because you can just put it back together easily ish. When you are squeezing the pliers back and forth, they have a slight un-smoothness to them, like you are pressing them together and then you will feel a slight difference in smoothness, a slight jolt. That problem is not that bad though, the pliers still function very well. I wish the tweezers were a little less bendy, but you are doing most of the heavy bending with the more sturdy pliers. The file has its places, but for me, it’s not needed. I definitely recommend this product for anyone getting started with the hobby, and needs a functional good quality tool kit.
