***Toyo Comfort Grip Supercutter ***

The cutters I use all the time are made by Toyo. I personally prefer the pencil grip – called the Comfort Grip Supercutter – but others love the pistol grip – called a Pistol Grip SuperCutter. It’s all a matter of preference.

🔸It’s lighter and more comfortable than others I’ve tried and cuts down on cramp
🔸Lasts for ages, with replaceable head. I’ve had mine for years
🔸It has an ingenious pressure system for dispensing oil, which also enables you to gauge how much pressure you need to score a piece of glass
🔸Very good for general purpose and frequent use

***Stained Glass Cut Running Pliers***

Running Pliers are indispensable, an absolute must for making stained glass. These pliers are to help you ‘run the score’. They are used to apply pressure to either side of the scoreline. This makes the fissure open all along the score (running) and breaks the glass apart. They have an ingeniously shaped curved cushioned jaw that puts pressure on either side of the score to break the glass apart.

There are two types of running pliers – metal and plastic. I recommend getting a metal pair.
🔸The metal ones are far more robust and have a plastic coated jaws to prevent chipping.
🔸They also have a thumb screw adjustment to enable you to control the amount of pressure applied to the score and to accommodate thicker glass.
