Blow More Glass Tools - Tip for Running Pliers
ABR-BMGT-600TIP
This is a single replacement tip made for running pliers. The tip is the contact point that presses against the glass on the opposite side of a score line, helping you apply even pressure so the crack runs straight and clean. In lampworking and scientific glass work, running pliers are commonly used after scoring tubing, rod, or flat stock to propagate the break in a controlled way. Replacing a worn or damaged tip restores consistent pressure, reduces slipping, and helps prevent uneven breaks that can chip edges or wander off the score.
Remove the worn tip from your running pliers and install this replacement tip in its place. Score the glass where you want the break, position the pliers so the jaws align with the score, and apply steady pressure until the break begins to run. Use smooth, controlled squeezing rather than jerky pressure to keep the run following the score line. Replace tips when they become flattened, cracked, or inconsistent so the pliers continue to run breaks predictably.
