Some new hobby tools are here from Citadel and we are going to do an unboxing for you so you don’t have to! Check it out!

Today we are looking at the new GW hobby products to see if they are worth the money!

We only have two of the new hobby products because Games Workshop had a little mix up with some of the SKUs so they weren’t put out.

First up we are going to unbox the tweezers and they are definitely smaller than other tweezers we have seen. The price point seems to be a little high but that is a personal opinion. They are definitely high quality though.

Next up is the Citadel Knife. The handle seems to be made out of real metal and is of a high quality with a decent amount of weight to it so you can tell you’re holding something substantial.

Are they worth the money though? Check out the full unboxing video below to see everything we have to say about the new Citadel hobby products and compare them to cheaper alternatives!

Citadel Knife: $3299239999092_CitadelKnife01

Games Workshop takes selling knives to minors seriously, and therefore does not make these knives available to order online. If you wish to purchase this product then please go to your nearest Games Workshop/Warhammer store or local stockist. Please be prepared to prove your age.

Used to remove small piece of plastic or resin left over when clipping components from their sprues and to cut transfers from their sheets, the Citadel Knife is an invaluable tool in the arsenal of every hobbyist. Made from steel and aluminium, it’s designed with safety in mind – shaped so it won’t roll across the table.

6 blades are supplied, and are easy to swap out; just unscrew the handle. The Citadel Knife is compatible with the most common hobby knife blades.

Citadel Tweezers: $12.50

Some of our models feature some rather small components, which can prove tricky to glue into place by hand. Citadel Tweezers are the perfect solution – featuring an all-metal construction and designed with a wide, flat 3mm contact point, they help you to grip small components and hold them firmly in place for the few seconds needed for the glue to take hold.
