Running pliers?

Anybody know a source for replacement "rubber" tips for running pliers? I
seem to go through a pair of tips every month or so. My local source says
they can't get them anymore.

If you were nicer to me, I'd send you some as a present.

i have plenty of them. Got them from glass crafters or art glass house. AGH
is a pain in the patoot anymore to deal with. Used to be , customer service
meant something but now they have turned into jackases when you try to to
get info/help. Too big for their britches syndrome!!!!If they keep their
current attitude/ staff they will be non- existent within a few years!!! m

Instead of replacement tips, how about some of that
"tool handle rubber dip?" Seems like it'd be at least
as durable, and when it does wear/split, just re-dip.

That's what I did when mine wore through. I don't actually
use them much, but so far it's held up just fine. The
problem with that stuff is that eventually it dries
out even with the lid on. You might want to tape the
top if all you use it for is coating your pliers.

I do lots of repairs. I use the running pliers with the soft tips to grab
onto broken glass and pull it out of the came. There's lots of slivers and
grit that stick to the tips and they just get eaten up.

moon, i can send you some if you haven't found them. I tried that dip stuff
but it didn't last, it's hard to get it smooth enough to not cause a
pressure point, and it's costly and a pain in the rear. The replacement tips
are cheap, a pain to get on , but they last a while. I'm rough with mine
too!

Thanks, Michele. I did find a retail source in TX, but haven't had time to
get an order in to him. The darn postage costs more than the tips....
