Product Description

Make creating beautiful mosaics even more enjoyable. Use for easy and fast cutting of sheet glass, smalti, Venetian glass tiles, ceramic tile and small porcelain tiles too! Designed to nip up to 5mm in thickness. The unique grip design generates 5 times the force of regular nippers while also being comfortable to use for long periods with no discomfort. Super light weight making repetitive nipping a breeze! 

The reversible design can be used by both left and right handed users - simply loosen the nipper wheels and flip them to the other side. Features a wheel indexing system for maximum life with the nipping wheels. When one part gets worn rotate to the next number allowing for easily alignment and extends the life of your nippers. Added bonus - the rubber ring next to the wheel keeps pieces from flying while nipping. Nippers measure 8-3/4" long.

Delphi Tip: Use wheeled nippers to easily cut glass and tiles into various shapes. To create shard-like pieces, hold the wheeled nippers at an angle. Create squares and triangular pieces by holding the nippers straight up and down. If using sheet glass, start with a glass strip, then nip the strip. Play around with the way that you hold the nipper to see the different kinds of shapes you can create. Varying the shape of the glass pieces in your project will not only create interest, but will also allow you to show movement and direction.

  •   So thoughtfully designed
By on
Pros : Love these so much! Very lightweight and comfortable to hold and use, especially when nipping thicker glass like smalti. The rubber O-ring behind the cutting blades prevents even small shards from shooting away, which in my opinion is the BEST feature, and why aren’t all nippers made like this?
Cons : Pricey, but well worth it.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
