Review: Strong and sturdy - These nippers are by far the best nippers out there. I tried all types from Home Depot and Lowe’s and had to return them all due to them breaking before my small tile project was even complete. I seen these on YouTube used by a woman claiming they were one of the best she has used. I love it! The handle is easy to hold and grip. You don’t have to apply much pressure when nipping the tiles. They nip easily. I recommend this tool over all the ones at the local store! Best investment
Review: Cheap thrills! Great results! - Making mosaics for a school project. I’ve never had a favorite tool but now I do. Keep in mind these take only small bites. First I broke the 6” square tiles with a hammer blow or two then used these tile nippers to break into more deliberate, smaller pieces. I have wrist and hand problems and these do not hurt my hands at all!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will these cut on a curve for around toliet. also do they have a scorer on them?**
A: No scorer. They will not cut on a true curve. You’d have to trace the curve on the tile and “chip” to the line and the gently around curve. It will of course not be a smooth curve but somewhat jagged and sharpe. So you would want to hide cuts under the toilet, not left visible around it.

**Q: Would these work on 1/8" glass tiles (wasn't sure based on a few of the responses). Thank you**
A: Yes! I just tried the Compound Tile Nippers and it works. I imagine you refer to this Venetian Glass Tilehttp://www.amazon.com/Mosaic-Mercantile-Glass-Tile-Tiles/dp/B0018H3PWY/ref=pd_sbs_201_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1HN194RJSE6G4BDJVB23&dpID=41JNFXG-DbL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_, right? If it is this Venetian Glass Tile the one you mean, it indeed works; though this other nipper http://www.amazon.com/Jennifers-Mosaics-Wheeled-Glass-Nippers/dp/B001687W5G/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1444181320&sr=1-1&keywords=tools+mosaicwas specifically created for what you need and it is a little bit better and more accurate.The Compound Tile Nipper, in my opinión, works better with materials like porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble tiles.

**Q: Will these work on porcelain dishes (using old plates for a mosaic project) and pool tiles?  I am a newbie....**
A: Yes, I used them on plates and tiles. The pliers are strong and work great, I made a very nice mosaic with them.

**Q: Could I use these to cut a 1 inch square tile perfectly in half?**
A: Yes. It will allow almost three quarters of an inch max. So half inch cuts are easy. As well as smaller cuts.

*by D***A on March 9, 2021*

Making mosaics for a school project. I’ve never had a favorite tool but now I do. Keep in mind these take only small bites.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work Great
*by C***7 on March 4, 2013*

These nippers work great and are easy on your hands- if you know what you're doing. They aren't meant to take 1/2" off at a time- nippers aren't in general. I've now used these on both ceramic (12x12" tile) and resin (3/4" mosaic) and they worked great. The mosaic tile was 1/4" off on total height from what I needed so I ended up nipping an entire row of 3/4" mosaic resin tile around the kitchen down to fill the gap. They work great on larger ceramic tile as well, but as with any nipper you can crack the tile if you take too much off at once. My only complaint is that the latch for them tends to slip and get in the way, impeding progress when you can't open them up without flipping it. It's easily removed though and I recommend doing just that.
