I have been working a lot on stained glass lately and thought it might be helpful to show you how I have made my glass cutting more efficient. I do this by taping my grozer pliers to my glass cutter. Now this only works with the pistol grip pliers, but I like it a lot. It only took me a few minutes of using them together like this and I was hooked. I don't see them as two tools anymore, I go from cutting to nipping with ease and without even thinking about it.
No more dropping one tool to pick up the next, and then dropping that one to go back to the first. This trick has saved me lots of time and probably some arthritis. I know it has saved my ears. All that tool dropping can get loud.
I used blue painting tape because I just wanted to see if it would work and wanted to be able to peel it off if it didn't work well. Apparently it works great because it has been over a year of using the tools like this and I haven't even thought of replacing the tape.
Try it out and let me know how it works for you. If you are an entrepreneur and are able to fabricate something like this into a single tool, go ahead, by all means, do it. But, please send me a pair, cuz remember folks, you saw it here first.
