So, know how you'll never need one of those...?

Until you do? Or just can't stand not having every tool? LOL

I'm looking for the metal pliers that will punch a hole through hot glass, like to make the bail on a pendant. I could have sworn that I've seen somebody advertise one....they look kind of like Peter's tweezers except a lot more robust. Ring any bells? I know there's a tut, but I'm really not into makng my own.

Assistance and recollections appreciated.

These are available on Etsy. Search for "bail biters". I have a very similar pair and they work really well!

Woo hoo that's it! Bail "biters" - I would never have figured that one out. Glad to hear they work well, too.

Thanks so much!

Love my Handy Andy's... and Andy is a pretty nice guy too!

But is he handy? ;-)

Handy Andy - love the name. And those look nice, too!

Wonder if I can find a reason for needing both :badgrin:

Jonibird invented an awesome tool. You can buy his tutorial and make your own. I have one and it works awesome on both soft and boro. Real easy to make and inexpensive too. Just type in, I think I invented a tool That doesn't exist.., and you will see the section for the tool. Hope you make one. I love mine.

If you are looking for the original Bail Biter I just posted an ad on the sale rack for $20.00 including shipping. Shoot us an email since they are not on our site yet.

Thanks, Robert
