Recommendations for Porcelain nippers - Tile Advice

[Flintstone]

can anyone recommend some decent nippers that can withstand porcelain. Not the mosaic type with two round blades on the end, but the more traditional type. Also who else uses nippers still in this world of power tools ?

I use them all the time still. Taking the spring off being first port of call

I've got some rubi ones and what I like about them is the spring doesn't fall off.

I have two pair, one red and black handle, one yellow and black handle but i don’t know the brands. Maybe genesis and Rubi? Anyway both the nipper tips have chipped away terribly. I used to be a no spring fan then I got some with good springs and I prefer that, once the spring softens up

My rubi handle is red only and they haven't chipped .

The pincers you are describing are not made for porcelain tiles
they are mosaic pincers and as such should not be used for porcelain
and when they break you wonder why. Don't get me wrong we all
are all guilty myself included but they are a bit too fragile for this

What’s the answer to my prayers Albert ?

Have you tried these, Rubi, specifically for porcelain

 

[Albert]

I tried using them but wasn't happy so just went back
to mosaic nips

The Rubi nippers are decent Andy, they sell them in tile giant now sure they were less than £15 with discount card, got a pair a couple of weeks ago..

Andy, I know you said not the ones with the wheels on but the Montolit ones are fantastic. Had a go with them a few weeks ago and was very impressed
