Superior Ceramic Tile Nippers

Superior Ceramic Tile Nippers

Superior tile nippers are manufactured from the best quality carbide tungsten steel made in the U.S.A.

Superior tile nippers are not recommended for use on porcelain tile

Features

• Made for lasting durability, they are the finest quality obtainable
• Length 8 inch (20.32 cm)
• Tile nippers are used to make circular cuts in ceramic tile
• Use for straight or angled cuts although you will find it much easier to use a tile cutter or wet saw to make these types of cuts
• Take small "nips" or "bites" out of it using the tile nippers. Take your time and keep the "bites" small, otherwise you risk breaking the tile and having to start all over again
• Once the tile is completely cut use a piece of 60 grit sandpaper or a special rubbing stone used by ceramic tile contractors to smooth the finished edge. Especially when the cut will be exposed (e.g. around shower drains) as the edge of the cut tile will be very sharp
• Handle stop to protect tips
• Center spring returns jaws to the open position
