Greedy Grabbers 3 sizes, $16.95 to $18.95
Short size pictured
|
Greedy Grabbers are similar to our larger Uncle Al Rod Grabbers in their holding action. Instead of large hemostats, Greedy Grabbers are made with locking tweezers. With a delicate, yet firm hold, the short 4¼" grabbers have an incredible range, from 1mm stringers to 7mm rods. The longer 6¼" size has the same size holding range, but with a little more holding power and a longer handle. The Terrill Greedy Grabbers is the short Greedy Grabbers with a 5/32" (4mm) stainless steel rod attached to the back end of grabber, as a handle, for an overall length of 12" (30.5cm).

Twisty Tweezers $9.95
|
If you use tweezers to pull stringers and make twisties, the new Twisty Tweezers is a must have tool. We took 6½" locking tweezers and reshaped the tip by modifying the grind and the angle of the points. The resulting tool reaches into the end of the molten glass with a minimal amount of distortion and a minimal amount of glass wasted with the grip. All this without the points sticking. The spring loaded tweezers with their intercepting points hold firm and allow you to rotate them for making twisties without releasing the glass. You can even leave the glass in the grip of the tweezers as an application tool.

Frit and Annealer Trays 5 sets, from $9.95 to $22.95
|
Frit and Annealer Trays to fit your specific needs. As frit trays, the low profile gives mandrel clearance on small diameter beads while still keeping the frit from spilling. For annealing, the four sided stainless steel trays hold marbles and such from rolling around and keeps multiple lampworker's loose items separate. A typical annealer can hold several trays across.
The Lena Frit Tray (pictured top left) has a no spill funnel at one end and has an area where there is no side on the tray to let the mandrel touch a single layer of small frit from the bottom of the tray. The Handled trays come as a tray with four sides and also as a scoop with the front side open.

Frit and Powder Trough 2 quantities, $10.95 and $29.95

Frit and Powder Troughs greatly improve the efficiency in coating hot glass, such as beads, by keeping frit and powder in better contact with the item being coated.

Width across the trough is 1½", length is 4". The bottom of the trough rises over ¾" above the table to give your fingers plenty of working clearance. Stainless steel.
