Breaking Pliers

These pliers have a smooth flat jaw suitable for breaking straight pieces; long, thin pieces; or very gently curving pieces of glass. They allow you to reach into a piece of glass and hold it firmly at the score line without chipping the glass edge. To Use:

  1. Firmly hold the glass close to one side of the score line with the pliers. Don't squeeze down on the glass with excessive pressure.
  2. Use your other hand to the other half of the glass close to the score line, opposite the pliers.
  3. Use a downward, rotating motion to separate the glass along the score.
  4. If you don't get a nice, clean break of the glass is chipping or shattering, you may be squeezing the pliers to hard.

Breaker / Grozier Pliers

These are dual purpose pliers with a flat jaw and a curved jaw. Both jaws are serrated for removing flares and tine points of glass. To Use:

Running Pliers

Let you break difficult screw with ease. The curved jaw applies equal pressure to both sides of the score line causing the score to "run". There is an adjustment screw for matching the pliers to the glass thickness and pressure applied. More pressure runs a score more quickly, less pressure more slowly. You can break out curves by running the score slowly from both ends to the middle. To Use:

  1. Place the jaws squarely on the glass with the center indicator line facing up and the score line lined up with the indicator. You must be able to place the jaws fully onto the glass for the pliers to work properly.
  2. Turn the adjustment screw until it just touches the bottom handle then back if off ½ turn.
  3. Squeeze the handles gently until the score runs.
