6" Stainless Steel Bead Grabber
526SF
The 6" Stainless Steel Bead Grabber is a stainless steel hand tool designed with opposing jaws that close together to grip rounded work securely. The tool is built to be lightweight and quick in the hand, with enough spring and control to grab a hot, smooth surface without needing a bulky clamp or holder.
In lampworking and beadmaking, a bead grabber is used when you need a confident hold on hot round objects that are difficult to pick up or stabilize with standard tweezers. It is especially handy when a piece is too hot to touch, too round to sit still on the bench, or needs to be moved, held, or steadied briefly while you work.
Use the bead grabber at the torch or bench to hold hot round objects during shaping, transfers, or repositioning. Common uses include:
- Grabbing and steadying a hot bead while you adjust alignment or refine shape
- Holding a round gather or small sphere while you add decoration or attachments
- Moving a hot round piece safely from the flame to a marver, pad, or kiln area
- Stabilizing a round form briefly when you need a firmer grip than standard tweezers provide
This tool is intended specifically for holding hot round objects, where the jaw shape and grip help prevent rolling and slipping.
- Overall length: 6 inches
