## 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap thrills! Great results!
*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. 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!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong and sturdy
*by D***I on January 23, 2025*

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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent tool
*by O***E on July 30, 2024*

exactly what i was looking for, works perfectly. thank you
