Item Name: Blow More Glass Tools - Tweezer Jacks 8" SKU: ABR-BMGT-854-708 Description: Tweezer jacks are a sturdy, spring-style shaping tool used at the bench to grab, pinch, and c ontrol hot glass. This pair is built with ribbed handles for a secure grip and a firm, aligned jaw action that lets you apply even pressure without slipping. In lampworking and scientific glass, tweezer jacks are used when you need controlled compression and clean shaping on small-to-medium hot sections, especially when you want more leverage and stability than fine-tip tweezers. How it is used: Use tweezer jacks in the flame to gently pinch and pull hot glass to create neck-downs, define shoulders, tighten up a seal area, or refine a transition. They are also useful for straightening and aligning soft tubing, grabbing and rotating a hot gather for better symmetry, and making consistent constrictions before pulling points or forming attachments. Warm the tool slightly near the flame if needed to reduce chill marks, then work with steady pressure while the glass is at a workable heat. Dimensions: 8" Long Show more
