The all-important pistol grip cutter.  The pistol design gives you a more controlled grip and insures proper positioning of the cutter wheel. It is self-lubricating which helps you make a smooth score and prolongs the life of the wheel. The swivel head makes for easy and more precise cuts for your angles and curves. It has a carbide wheel, and a clear pistol so you can see how much oil is left. Carbide cutter for long life, pistol grip for wrist comfort.  Oil filler included.  If you have ever used a pencil cutter, you will appreciate the design of this cutter.

Runningpliers.jpg

These are rugged quality tools are designed to offer years of service and will be your most used breaking tool.  Along with breaking pliers (see below), these will make a good portion of your breaks.  Featuring rubber handles, rubber coated jaws, and an adjustable screw to keep from crushing the glass, simply line up the middle of the jaws with your score, and squeeze gently.  Scores will be run easily and accurately, due to the curved jaws, which provide a fulcrum point under the score.  These are larger 8 inch metal running pliers.

$7.95

Grozers2.jpg

These hard-to-find narrow jaw grozers are a specialty tool necessary for tight inside curves.  Rubber coated handles make them easy to work with, and the 1/8 inch nose gets into those curves impossible to reach with regular grozers.  Curved on one jaw and flat on the other they are just like typical 3/8 inch grozers but with a smaller bite.

$8.95

These breaker grozer pliers have one straight jaw and one curve jaw for grozing (filing).  With the running pliers above, these two will probably be your most-used breaking tools.  To use, hold the pliers with the straight jaw on top and you have breaker pliers. Hold the pliers with the curved jaw on top and do your grozing.
