Item Name: Fletcher Running Pliers SKU: 2210 Description: These running pliers are a glass-cutting hand tool designed to break glass cleanly along a scored line. They feature a curved jaw on top and a flat base, with a fulcrum point positioned to apply leverage directly behind the score. The tool is constructed from hardened steel with comfortable handles that allow you to apply controlled, even pressure. When positioned correctly over a score line and squeezed, the pliers create a controlled fracture that runs straight along the marked path. How it is used: Use these pliers after you have scored a line on glass with a glass cutter. Position the pliers so the fulcrum sits just behind the score, then squeeze the handles firmly and steadily. The mechanical advantage of the tool converts hand pressure into a focused breaking force that propagates the fracture along the score line, allowing you to separate pieces cleanly without excessive force or dangerous shattering. Running pliers are essential for straight cuts on sheet glass, rods, and tubes before you begin torchwork or coldworking.
