Default 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!

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
