Duckbills

$80.00  add to cart  view cart

Description:
Unique. Specialized. Efficient. The Duckbill is designed expressly to cleave a large quantity of glass without mangling it in the process. Their tips are slightly toed away from each other to prevent hooking the color into the bite area between the blades. Cuts through inches of hot glass just like (snap fingers here for emphasis) that!
