Hobby Tools

Tool sets

Set yourself up with our great range of hobby tool sets. Just getting into model ship building? The Artesania 27007 Starter Set Shipbuilders set has all the tools and supplies you’ll need to get started including glue, tweezers, knives and brushes.

Knives and blades

A wide range of hobbies require precision cutting and the best way to do it is with a purpose-made hobby knife. Hobby knives somewhat resemble scalpels, with a long thin handle and a sharp angled blade.

This makes precise work easier when cutting plastic, card and paper.

Tweezers and pliers

A lot of hobbies require picking up and manipulating tiny, delicate pieces of plastic and other materials. The easiest way to complete those tricky and fiddly tasks is with a set of tweezers or pliers made specifically for the task.

We stock a wide range of hobby tweezers and pliers to make model building and crafting that much easier.

Sanders and files

Any model builder knows it’s almost impossible to avoid rough edges on plastic and wood.

In order to get that smooth polished look on your finished product, you need the right sanders and files for the job. We stock a wide range of sandpapers, files, sanding sticks and more to help make removing those rough edges easy, no matter what material you’re working with.

Drills and bits

Radio control builds, model railway and wooden and plastic modelling often require fine, precision drilling. At Frontline Hobbies, we offer a wide range of handheld drills and accompanying drill bits to suit any hobby drilling purpose.

Saws and blades

Modelling and other hobbies often call for cutting and sawing on a very fine and detailed level.

With our range of hobby saws and blades, you can complete all those tricky intricate tasks with saws designed specifically for hobby applications. Get started with a set like the Artesania Photo Etched Steel Micro Saws Set Modelling Tool 27302 which comes with nine commonly-used steel micro saws.

Clamps and vices

Make painting, drilling, filing and finishing your hobby projects easier with our range of clamps and vices. Keeping your project firmly in place at exactly the right angle makes working on it so much easier, whether you’re adding the finishing touches to your model aircraft or adding the final coat of paint to a model soldier.

Pincers and drivers

Stock up on sprue cutters, screwdrivers and precision cutting tools from our pincers and drivers range. The Eagle Allen Driven Set Imperial of screwdrivers is something every radio control hobbyist needs in their toolkit for those fine tasks.
