Silberschnitt Running Pliers

The Silberschnitt Glass Cut Running Pliers BO 700 are a welcome addition for anyone who cuts glass. PROS: - the top rubber tip is adjustable and easy to rotate - works on odd angles were traditional (fixed) running pliers can't reach - makes breaking the glass easy - well made metal and rubber tips - reasonably priced for the quality of the running plier CONS: - can't use on very small/thin width piece of glass - your grozers would be used instead I would highly recommend these running pliers to anyone who works/cuts with stained glass. Big thumbs up.

Simply the best! I have been doing stained glass for 7 years now and have an assortment of running pliers, however making deep inside curve cuts has been a serious challenge for me. So much so that I bought a ring saw to eliminate some of the frustration of constantly breaking and recutting the same piece multiple times. However that also takes up allot of space in my small studio and a fair amount of water and set up works well but is more time consuming. Then I saw these in action and decided to give them a try, wow game changer. I cannot say enough positive things about the Silberschnitt Glass Pliers. Yes they are probably the most expensive pliers on the market but much like many things in life you get what you pay for. After many years of struggling with difficult cuts and all the free advice from professionals on how they perform these types of breaks only to be even more frustrated my search is finally over. Do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed and in the long run you will save yourself frustration and money. They are in my opinion simply the best!

These are a game changer. I have saved so much glass by having these. This is the cheapest I have found them anywhere too. These are awesome since the head swivels so easily. I like barely using any force on them to slowly crack at long break lines. These are like having a Rolls-Royce but as a tool. I can't say enough great things about these. I wish I had bought a pair sooner. I am much less frustrated now when I'm breaking curvy lines. I even use these for straight lines since the lines break cleaner then using pliers!!! Just buy a dang pair already! You will NOT regret it.

Ok, I kept reading about how great these were but my plastic running pliers work just fine and I didn't want to spend the money on these for no reason. Well, I'm really glad I finally did. They really are that good. They're easy to use and versatile (the rectangular bar thing turns so you don't have to twist your wrist around trying to reach your score line). They will also cut curves in a single piece. So instead of having to make a bunch of little cuts to work your way around a curve, you just press these a few places along your score line and you're done. I didn't know this was even possible. I included a picture of a straight cut and a cut with two waves in it to show this. This is going to save so much glass and time. Really happy with this purchase and they were also shipped really fast.

I have been making stained glass for close to 15 years and these things are a game changer. Someone who is cutting glass professionally may not need them, but for a hobbiest who likes to bite off ambitious projects these things save so much time and glass (and therefore, money.) Not to mention I haven't cut myself once since using these instead of having to snap the glass. It also allows for much cleaner breaks than tapping. I can't speak to the longevity, but these are worth potentially having to change the pads every now and then. They feel solid and are easy to control. They would also be great if you have arthritis or any sort of issue that diminishes strength in your fingers, as these take hardly any pressure to use.

I was apprehensive at first because these are a little pricey. But it was money will spent. I have cut the tiniest of cuts and the largest of cuts perfectly with these players. I saw videos that said they were hard to get to used to; but that is inaccurate. They were great right out of the package. They were easy to use and made amazing straight and curved breaks.

The Liberschnitt running pliers give you the ability to apply pressure to a scored piece of glass, in the correct direction of the score line. This does seem to help the accuracy of a desired break; therefore, you will waste less glass and save time on your project. It is very well made and sturdy without being heavy or cumbersome. It is comfortable to use despite its rather industrial, plain metal appearance. I believe Liberschnitt might double their sales if they would offer this tool with a slightly more ergonomic, padded or rubberized handle. Also, since these pliers are probably primarily being sold to artists and hobbyists, people who particularly appreciate colors and the appearance of a thing, an offer of various colors would be a nice touch and a smart marketing tact.

I enjoy these cutters and the actual piece is well built. It works great to break my glass pieces. I gave it a 4 because I didn't expect to have reorder the rubber pieces so soon. They aren't expensive but would have like longer usage.

Excellent product. Should have bought them years ago.

These really do work well

If you are an amateur or professional stained glass artist, this tool maybe on the expensive side but it is worth every penny!

Cette pince a deux caractéristiques qui font la différence: un point d'appui pointu et une ligne surélevée réglable. Elle nécessite de la manipulation lors de son utilisation contrairement à la pince usuelle mais elle s'avère très efficace dans des courbes prononcées. Bon achat pour la personne débutante ou experte.

I have arthritis in my hands pretty bad. Using "normal" running pliers is painful and difficult at the best of times. Applying the right pressure even with the adjuster is a pain. But these things are just... *chef's kiss*. Minimal pressure required, they do all the work. The only time I wouldn't recommend these is if you're just starting out in stained glass and looking to save money on start up costs.
