Hi Derek, I have owned these running pliers for some time. They are my go to tool for complex cuts as with practice you can run the fracture very slowly around a curve with great control. For simple and straight cuts I use traditional running pliers or my hands. Love your channel

I had the Werner running pliers for 40 years. I treated myself to the Silberschnitt for my birthday 6 months ago. WHY DID I WAIT??? These are so WONDERFUL!! WORTH THE MONEY!!

I've been doing stained glass for 45 years and been hearing about these pliers for a while. Decided to watch your video and I am absolutely going to purchase a pair. I really like the fact that you get less "snarchy" edges on textured glass.

Bought a pair about a month ago, and they've greatly helped me work faster, generate less wasted glass, and build confidence. As someone new to stained glass, these are a game changer.

I am sold! These would save me so much work and stress on those deep curves. Love your style and I just subbed!

[kathiekarancz]

I love the fact that the pad can be turned for tight curves! That’s great. Also, that the pads can be replaced instead of having to buy new silicone tips which never fit for me. Thanks !

Look like they are well worth the investment, especially considering the high price of glass. Thanks for the demo

I've just upgraded entry-level tools to FanOut Lead Nippers, Bohle glass cutter, and the Silberschnitt running pliers. an engineer pal was taken by the Slberschnitt design, finding them, as advertised, particularly strong & durable. I'm gradually moving from my previous go-to (low-end) pliers. the swivel head, as Derek demonstrates, is a game changer. but like any new tool, it will take time and practice.

Thanks for the review. Just bought a pair and I’m excited to put them to use.

Hi Derek. I think it's like you say, they have a use for particular cuts. Concave cuts particularly and that thin concave strip you made. I find grozing pliers are fine for straight or sligher curves but no good at gently starting a run like the Silberschnitts. I too use my hands / fingers to snap most pieces apart but these are saving wasted glass and time. I won't say they are a toy or a crutch as they are not, they save time and money and that's both business sense and my patience. I'm glad I bought them, they are my go to breaking pliers at the mo.

I bought them ages ago, they are great

[Rokugatsu-]

Many thanks for the review, been thinking of getting these for a while 😊

[annelomer]

Thanks for the Silber review. Appreciate your demonstration.

Hi Derek, its always nice to see the new video from your attic! I use these pliers more than 15 years and would say they are very rare tool in my hands. Mostly because you can cut everything "cutable" with usual glass pliers. I use the running pliers when I need to cut out a very thin long blade in the detail I want not to ruin or chip anyhow. More then ten years I teach my pupils try to work without them, we call them a tool for a "lazy ones" or for "kids". Always better to learn to use the usual grozzing pliers well to not became a disabled worker by using running pliers too often from the very beginning.

[kprk]

I just got some and was having a hard time using them. I will try again now that I’ve watched the video!

[MVsFavorites]

Thanks for making this video. I ordered a pair yesterday after someone else recommended them, but this helped me understand the tool better.

[SCOARTGLASS]

Looking to invest in a pair. I dislike deep curve cuts. I waste glass sometimes because of bad breaks. Subscribed awhile back and have been liking your videos and learned so much. Very interested on the glass painting. Looking to learn this part of glass art as well.

[rowanberryglass]

Oh this is good to see! I have a pair coming this week as a Christmas present to myself.

[fredo]

Wow. Guess I'm gonna have to drop the G's on this baby. Amazing tool.

[carlbrenninkmeijer]

Thank you for showing this tool and how to apply it. I got the impression that the black dot on top of the top beak helps to locate it over the score. The woodpecker method works well, if I can find a glaspecker, although.. the knocking makes the music.
