Handy Andy Tungsten Piercer
  $75.00

Peters Tweezers - Replaceable Tungsten TN

Peters Tweezers have become a standard tool for lampworkers who make loops on such glasswork as pendants. Our Handy Andy Tungsten Piercers version is preferred by production lampworkers for their durability, stoutness and that the tungsten tips can be adjusted to suit your needs. The tungsten tips can be removed to resharpen or replace when they wear down from heavy use. Opposite the piercing end of the tungsten tips are a handy point on one tip and a round shape at the other.

Tungsten Rods
  3 diameters, 2 lengths, from $5.00 to $13.00

 

Tungsten conducts heat very well. These Tungsten Rods must be held in a handle for you not to get burned during use. Use a handle you already have, or get a handle that matches the size Tungsten Rod (see below), or instead get the Replaceable Tungsten Straight Rake, which comes with a Tungsten Rod and matching Handle (see above).

One end is ground to a long point and the other end is ground to a short point. Tungsten greatly resists sticking to hot glass.
