#85C1 8" Carbide Nippers with 5/8" Centered Jaws (Both Edges Convex)

The 5/8" biting surface is carbide tipped to provide extra strength when cutting tile. Both of the centered jaws features a convex shape for easy biting action when nipping away at tile. The convex jaws allow for more accurate cutting of glass, glass mosaic, and porcelain tile. A handle stop is positioned below the fulcrum to protect both the carbide tip of the jaws and the user's fingers. The 8" forged steel Nippers have a 1/8" opening for thin tile and glass. A center spring between the handles returns the jaws to an open position. Use the handles close to the end for best leverage. Yellow plastic handle grips provide comfort and a secure grip during use. Tile contractors, artisans, and crafters will find this nipper handy when cutting glass, mosaic, tile, and porcelain materials around outlets, pipes, or other odd shapes.

WARNING: Always use proper eye protection with tile nippers.
