Another great tool for cutting glass is circular nippers. They look like this, they have two
little wheels. Make sure you keep the wheels tightened because they can loosen up and that'll
make it very hard to break your glass. These make it much easier to break glass than the
score and the breaker, but its a much less precise break too. Here's how they work. You
take a piece of glass and you place the wheels one on the top side and one on the bottom
side almost in the center of the glass if you can. Put it over your hands so it has
somewhere to fall and just press down. There you go one easy break. However not the straightest
of lines. Some people really like the fact that the lines aren't perfect, other people
prefer the very straight lines. So you decide when you think about this tool. One nice thing
about it is it makes it very easy to break a lot of pieces in a very short period of
time. Another good use for this tool is that shape glass. You can nip at the edges of corners
and round them out. You won't get a perfectly rounded corner but it'll be much nicer than
a square edge if that's what you're looking for. Be careful for flying shards when you
that.
