Description:
These glass shaping jacks are a sturdy, affordable pair of metal tweezers made for controlled shaping and manipulation of hot glass. They are constructed with broad jaws for gripping and compressing, and ribbed handles that provide a secure, non-slip hold while you work close to the flame. In lampworking, jacks are used when you need a firm, even squeeze to define edges, pull corners, create paddles and tabs, straighten small gathers, and refine form without relying on heavy tool pressure that can leave deep marks. The 6 inch length keeps the tool compact and quick in the hand, which is ideal for detailed work, smaller pieces, and tight bench setups where you want fast, precise movements.
How it is used:
Pre-warm the jaws at the edge of the flame to reduce chill marks on the glass. Use the jaws to gently compress and guide the hot glass while rotating your work for even shaping. Apply steady pressure rather than quick pinches to keep surfaces smoother and to avoid creating sharp creases. Set the tool down on a safe rest between uses so the hot jaws do not contact your bench surface.
