Glass Cutting Tool Kit with Nippers, Pliers & Oil-Feed Cutter
Product description
What’s included: This kit contains an 8" tile nipper (x1), 8" running pliers (x1), 6" breaking pliers (x1), a pencil-style oil-feed glass cutter (x1), two replacement cutter heads, an oil dropper, a small cross screwdriver and a leather zippered carrying case — ten pieces in total for stained glass, tile and mosaic cutting.
Tile nippers: Constructed from steel with cemented carbide cutting wheels, the wheel pairs score and nip glass and ceramic tile reliably. These nippers are designed for mosaic pieces, mirrors, stained glass and ceramic tiles, handling materials such as porcelain and floor ceramics with ease.
Running pliers: The running pliers include plastic tip caps to protect glass edges from scratches and chipping. Adjustable setscrews let you moderate the jaw pressure to suit different glass thicknesses, making them useful for glass fusing, breaking small pieces and general stained-glass work.
Breaking pliers: The breaking pliers feature double cemented carbide components for strength, wear resistance and firm breaking along a scribe line. They have red PVC-padded, eco-friendly handles for a comfortable, non-slip grip and a spring action to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use.
Pencil-style oil-feed cutter: The cutter uses a premium carbide wheel and an alloy body for precise scoring. An automatic oil-feed keeps the wheel lubricated while you apply pressure, promoting smooth, consistent cuts. The cutter handles glass roughly in the 3–14 mm thickness range and the heads are interchangeable to suit different material thicknesses.
Applications: Suitable for stained glass, mosaics, tile and mirror cutting, ceramic work, glass fusing and small window pane repairs. Ideal for DIY projects, hobbyists and secondary studio setups, and convenient to store and carry in the supplied zippered leather pouch.
Pros
- Complete 10-piece kit for glass and tile projects
- Carbide wheels and hardened jaws for durable scoring and breaking

Cons

- No printed instructions included
- Smaller oil supply in dropper may require refilling
VerdictA well-rounded starter kit for stained glass and tile craftwork. The tools are generally robust for hobbyists — carbide scoring wheels, hardened steel jaws and an automatic oil-feed cutter provide clean scores and predictable breaks. Some users report mixed results on larger jobs, but for mosaics, window panes and DIY projects this bundle delivers excellent value and portability thanks to its zipp

Surprisingly Good Quality for the Price
I mainly needed running pliers but decided to try this full set. The running pliers did the job, and I was impressed by the cutter and spare carbide heads — they score as well as more expensive models I’ve owned. Great starter pack for someone getting into stained glass, and the zippered case is a nice touch.

Disappointed with Performance
I had poor results cutting a few pieces — several broke unexpectedly. It may have been a defect or low-quality batch. Not what I hoped for.
