carbon steel edges hit Rockwell 58-62 on hardness, which keeps them sharp through about 300-400 cuts before you'd notice any rollover — those softer stainles alternatives dull in half that time roughly.
They'll handle 6mm float glass easily enough, but we usually stock red and blue handle versions and the ergonomic rubber coating on the steel core does help with grip when your hands get sweaty after a few hours of stained glass work.
Teh reinforced box joint is tighter than typical screw-type pivots on budget nippers — you won't get that lateral wobble when nipping curves, just keep in mind that for anything over 6mm thick glass, these aren't suited and you'll need a different tool anyway.
Our MOQ is 200 pairs per color for standdard orders, packed in plain cartons, and we include a COA on the carbon steel alloy batch — delivrey is about 25 working days after sample approval, give or take a few days depending on customs clearance.
350 grams each feels solid but not heavy, and the 200mm length gives you decent for controlled snaps on mosaic tiles or art panels — most DIY guys actually prefer the blue handles for visibility on the bench.
Our standard MOQ for the MDQ05 is 500 pieces per color. If you need a smaller trial order, we can discuss that based on stock availability.
We can provide a material test certificate for the carbon steel and nodular cast iron, along with a general product compliance sheet. If you need specific certifications like CE or RoHS, just let us know and we can arrange them.
Yes, we offer OEM and ODM customization. You can choose red or blue handles, or a custom color, and we can add your logo via pad printing or laser engraving. Just send us your design and we’ll confirm the setup cost and lead time.
Store them in a dry place, ideally with a light coat of oil on the cutting head. The rubber-coated handle is fine, but the carbon steel can rust if left damp. We ship them with standard carton packaging, but we can add anti-rust paper or VCI bags if needed.
For a standard 500-piece order, lead time is around 15-20 working days after confirmation. If you need a rush, we can prioritize production and ship in 10-12 days for a small extra charge.
