Running pliers

I've been doing some small, pretty delicate stuff recently.

My running pliers have a jaw width of about 1" or more. I'd like to find
some runners with a much narrower nose, maybe 1/2" to 5/8". I've been
using some ring jaw pliers with some success, but got to wondering if there
were some narrower jawed runners out there somewhere?

Has anybody ever seen any groziers with rubber tips a la running pliers?
Regular groziers mess up my iridized glass.....

FISH LIP PLIERS if you can find them
in 25+ years, these are best I have ever used

Are these anything like those mythical 900F Weller Tips? ;)

You know, once upon a time.....

try dipping your groziers in that plastic dip stuff. it can be pretty
thin.. or thicker with repeated dips. m

My runners are nothing but dust collectors now. They do nothing that I
can't do better with grozers or my bare hands. When it gets small I use
two pair.

I haven't seen rubber tips but you can buy that dunk coat your tool
stuff. Maybe some duct tape.

Take a look at the glastar snapper running pliers these are not as
wide and can be used on narrow pieces. I like them for narrow strips.

I'll second that !
Got a pair of these a couple of years ago and hardly ever use anything
else for small pieces. Anything bigger tends to be done with the flat
side of the grozing pliers, bigger than that and it's bare hands....
or that strange plastic thingy with a neck-cord from the Morton
system...

Believe it or not but...the Morton Safety-Break system works great!
Product #SB01 and a mini cutting surface and you're in business.

You talking about that funky little gizmo that has a lanyard to hang it
around your neck?

Yes siree Bob! That little funky gizmo with the lanyard, the little
red button and a mini surface. Plug the button into the mini surface
and use the funky little gizmo. Morton designed this to work with the
way glass breaks. Glass begins it's break at less than one degree and
is completed at less than two degree and the radius of the button is
designed for just that! ARDY ARG there mate!
