Mosaic Tools & Accessories

|
Nippers are the most important tool for creating any mosaic piece.
All of ours, from our value-priced Basic nipper to our Professional nipper, are
constructed of the highest quality tungsten-carbide steel. They are specifically
designed to be used with our 3/16" thick vitreous glass tile enabling the glass
tile to crack cleanly and not shatter. The red rubber handles help make these tools
comfortable to hold, even for people with smaller hands.

Nipper Tips!
If you are finding that you are having difficulty nipping tile with offset nippers (such as our Basic Nipper) try this technique:
place the nipper blades at a right angle to the edge of the tile, but they should overlap the tile no more than 1/3" (8mm).
If your nipper covers more than 1/3" of the tile, you will need to squeeze harder and your tile will break unevenly.
Give the nippers a gentle, constant squeeze at the end of the handles and watch the tile crack!
|
Nipper Tips!
For Wheeled Nippers try this technique:
Wheeled nippers work a bit differently than offset nippers. Rather than break the tile on a line perpendicular to the nipper handles,
the wheels will cut the tile parallel to the nipper. As the wheeled blades are curved, you need to place the center of the wheel in the
center of the line that you wish to cut. Try placing the wheeled blades in the center of your tile and give the nippers a gentle, constant
squeeze at the end of the handles. Your tile should cut evenly down the middle.
