Small enough to carry in your pocket and almost as simple to use as a pair of Pliers. Just wrap the chain around the tube, hook the nearest chain pin into the jaw. Then a quick twist of the wrist, a slight squeeze of the handles and popl The cut is completed.

A perfect tool for cutting glass tubing such as gauge glass, neon sign glass, oil burner electrodes, porcelain insulators, thermocouple protection tubes and more. This tool employs the same unique cutting action used in cutting cast iron and cement pipe.

Simple to use, wrap the chain around the glass tube and hook the pin in the jaws, a slight turning motion and squeeze of your hand and your glass is cut. So accurate, cuts as small as 1/2" (12.7 mm) from the end of the tube can be made with ease. Handles are plastic coated for comfort. Cuts glass tubing from 1/4" to 3/4" (6.4 to 19 mm) in diameter.

VERSATILE
The same tool may be used on a variety of brittle tubular materials including gauge glass (all types), laboratory glass, neon sign glass, oil burner electrodes, porcelain insulators, thermocouple protection tubes and more.

ACCURATE
Cutter chain is wrapped around the tubing right at the point where cut is to be made. Any length from 1/2" or longer may be cut.

RUGGED
All-steel construction for strength and durability

How to Use the Squeeze and Pop Glass Cutter
1. Grasp the tubing as shown

2.Holding the cutter in the opposite hand with the handles in the open position guide the cutter chain around the tubing at the point where the cut is to be made.

3.Engage the appropriate chain pin in the upper hooked jaw so that the two cutter wheels at the jaw opening are in the closest proximity. Without Touching.

4.Grasp the tubing firmly and apply a twisting force to it while squeezing the cutter handles together quickly with the other hand. This quick motion is more effective than a gradual increase in pressure on the handles.

Alternate Cutting Method
First score the tubing at the desired location. Only about 1/4" to 1/2" travel of the cutter chain is required. Moisten the score mark slightly. Grasp the tubing as shown and with the thumbs set firmly behind and on either side of the score mark, snap the tubing cleanly apart.
