Description
The Silberschnitt® cutting pliers enable precise glass breaking. They allow precise break control and safe glass cutting. The pressure bar and pressure disc can be adjusted to suit different situations. The aim is to achieve optimum results with little effort.
Scoring-precise, splinter-free breaking is now possible without any problems even with inner curves and the narrowest glass strips, even with small pieces. Due to the necessary torsional rigidity, the pliers are made entirely of aluminium. An indispensable tool for anyone who wants to break out small pieces of glass with low thicknesses. Ideal for the glass art sector.
These glass Breaking Pliers are for art glass work up to 3/16″ (5 mm) thickness. Glass is broken safely and in a controlled manner. Upper pressure bar can be turned and can be adjusted to the score. Even inner curves and the smallest glass strips can be broken precisely without any splintering.

I tried the running pliers yesterday, OMG! What a game changer, they are incredible. I stood in amazement each time the glass followed my score. From the smallest, staightest line to an impossible curve, with absolutely no splinters. Thanks so much, you’ve changed my glass making and bumped up my enjoyment.Â

Cindy – I am thrilled! I love these tools – definitely my favourite piece of kit. I had a wonderful class yesterday, and they were cutting some tricky pieces – so glad I had my Silberschnitts handy – I couldn’t have managed without them (without a lot of fiddling)
