Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these rubber tips fit all glass running pliers and breaking pliers?
A: These replacement rubber tips are designed to fit most standard glass running pliers, grozing pliers, key fob pliers, and glass breaking pliers. Each tip measures approximately 2.2 cm (0.87 inch). We recommend warming the tip with a hair dryer first to make it more pliable for a secure fit on your specific plier jaw size.
Q: How do I install the rubber tips onto my glass pliers?
A: Installation is simple. Use a hair dryer to gently heat the rubber/plastic tip for a few seconds until it becomes soft and flexible. Then carefully stretch it over the jaw of your glass running plier or breaking plier. Once it cools, it will hold snugly in place and provide full glass protection.
Q: Do these tips prevent glass from scratching or breaking during cutting?
A: Yes! The primary purpose of these protective rubber tips is to create a cushioned barrier between the metal plier jaw and your glass surface. This helps prevent surface scratches and reduces the risk of the glass shattering in unintended places during breaking or running cuts in stained glass and mosaic projects.
Q: Are the glass pliers included in this package?
A: No, this package includes only the 12 replacement rubber tips (6 pairs). The glass running pliers or breaking pliers are sold separately and are not part of this listing.
