Glass Cutters and Pliers

You get what you pay for! I prefer Toyo. They will cost $20- 25 for a pencil
grip; $25-35 for a pistol or a Thomas grip.

Warning- cheap cutters break. Snap right in half. I learned that the hard way. ;)


Toyo Pistol Grip cutter $33

Toyo Acrylic Pencil Grip cutter $27

Toyo Brass Pencil Grip cutter  $34

Toyo Thomas Grip cutter $30

Now you'll need some tools for breaking the glass. I suggest these
combination pliers.


Studio Pro Breaker Grozer Combination Pliers $13
If you have a Hobby Lobby Store, you should be able to get them there.

If you want to break mosaic pieces, you'll need a pair of running pliers, or
"runners," as they are sometimes called.

Studio Pro Running Pliers $13
Also found at Hobby Lobby. You might even check your local home
improvement/ hardware store.
