I'm looking for a tool I've never seen in real life before... Best way to
describe it is a nail clipper with blades that curve out at the center
rather than in. Anyone know of such an item?

It has to have the same orientation as an actual nail clipper too.
Pliers-type doesn't fit in the equipment access.

It doesn't need to be too sturdy as it will be used for plastic snipping
most of the time. Same sturdiness as a nail clipper will do.

....In fact, a nail clipper with blades curving outward would be perfect but
because such a device is probably really unsafe, I can't imagine them being
made by any company for that purpose.

Joe,

Such a tool is made; I've got one right here. It's a toenail clipper. When you
first look at it, the cutting edges appear to be straight across, but if you
hold it up to a straightedge, it's easy to see that they're curved slightly
outwards. Go to someplace like Osco, Walgreen's or Treasury Drug and find the
toenail clippers. There'll probably be one like what I've described in there
somewhere.

Very close! I'll keep looking at those. Those have the cutters at the same
or close to the same angle as the handle. I need ones that are 90 degrees
to the handle like a nail clipper would be.

Much appreciated on the new direction to search though!!!

Oh, _sprue_ cutter. Okay, I'd check someplace that sells supplies for
lost-wax casting. Start with Rio Grande (www.riogrande.com) and then
try some of the other places.

Actually, "Cutting Tweezers" is about 100% what I'm looking for... Now if I
could find 'em with a convex blade (curve outward at center) I'd be home
free!

Check the drugstore. They are sold as toenail clippes. The ones I have
are about 1"radius, convex. About 2 1/2" long.

Radio Shack. Or a real Electronics supply place. Flush cutting
miniature end nipper/clipper/cutter.

Plastic modelling supply shop (You know, airplane in a billion peices
type models). Sprue cutters
