- Lightweight and comfortable to hold for continuous use.
- Ideal for small glass shaping and detailed work.
Applications
- Picking up and pulling hot glass to create specific patterns or shapes.
- Positioning and refining details of the workpiece during shaping.
- Creating grooves, ripples, or decorative surfaces on glass.
- Picking up glass shards or small decorative materials while working.
- Used in conjunction with other tools to help shape the neck, mouth, or handles of glass pieces.
