| Top pliers are used but undamaged. The bottom pliers have rounded tips and will not grasp thin pieces of glass anymore. |
Narrow grozing pliers are very useful in many circumstances, but their use is different from the standard 10mm grozing pliers.
Use narrow pliers to grasp small pieces and pull away from score. A
firm but not hard grasp of the glass is required to pull the small
pieces off. The square tips are important to the function of the
pliers. If the tips are rounded, it is not possible to grasp the
small pieces of glass to pull them away from the scored part without
slipping off.
Squeezing hard crushes the glass and wears away the jaws quickly, which rounds the ends of the pliers, making them unsuitable for their intended purpose.
They are not meant for grozing. And in any case grozing is done with the serrations further away from the tip of grozing pliers. Misuse of the narrow pliers causes rapid wear and greatly reduces the useful life of the tool.
