For opticians, glaziers, and stained glass artists needing to make controlled breaks in glass, these chipping pliers offer a reliable solution. The design focuses pressure to create a clean break along a score line, preventing the unpredictable fracturing common with standard pliers.

Key features

  • Specialised jaw combines a v-shaped pressure point with a wide, cross-hatched face.
  • Solid stainless steel construction with a non-reflective, satin finish.
  • Curved, smooth-profile handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work.
  • Internal leaf spring gently returns the jaws to the open position after each squeeze.
  • Overall 6-inch length provides leverage whilst maintaining fine control.

A core tool for UK opticians trimming optical lenses and for glaziers making fine adjustments. Also essential for stained glass artists and jewellery makers who work with glass components, this tool is stocked in the UK, with a same-day dispatch target for orders placed before 2pm UK time, Monday to Friday.
