The Silverline 210mm Tile Nippers are designed for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who require precision during tiling projects. Featuring durable tungsten carbide-tipped jaws, these pliers excel at making detailed adjustments and small cuts in ceramic or porcelain tiles, though they are not intended for large-scale straight cuts across heavy-duty flooring.

While effective on many ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone varies in hardness. Test on a scrap piece first to ensure the stone does not fracture unexpectedly.
Tungsten carbide is extremely hard and typically does not require sharpening. If the tips become blunt after heavy use, it is usually time to replace the tool.
Yes, they work on floor tiles for minor adjustments, but they are not intended for cutting through thick porcelain floor tiles in a straight line.
Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying ceramic fragments.
They are designed for standard ceramic and porcelain. Glass tiles may be too brittle and prone to shattering under the pressure of these nippers.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point and work the handles several times to redistribute the oil.
Ensure you are only taking small 'bites' of the tile at a time rather than trying to remove large chunks in one go.
No formal setup is required; the nippers are ready to use out of the box. Simply ensure you are wearing appropriate safety glasses, as tile shards can fly during the nipping process. To maintain the tool, wipe the jaws clean after each use to remove ceramic dust or debris. Occasionally apply a light machine oil to the pivot point and the spring to ensure smooth operation. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the metal components.
