Ed is a skilled craftsman and stained glass artist who relies on his trusty hand tools to create stunning art pieces. Among his top three favorite tools are the versatile Upgraded Grozer, the efficient Springed Runners, and the reliable super Lead Knippers.

The Upgraded Grozer, boasting a 6" handle length and a 3/8" serrated jaw width, is made of durable carbon steel, making it ideal for precise glass breaking and shaping. On the other hand, the Springed Runners are perfect for breaking straight lines quickly or starting a run in any score. With a 6 1/2" handle and a 7/8" jaw width, they provide consistent pressure for clean breaks every time.

Lastly, the super Lead Knippers are a must-have for cutting lead cames in stained glass projects. With a 6" handle and sharp carbon steel cutting edge, they make slicing through lead a breeze, allowing for miters and joining beyond what other Knippers can provide.

These essential tools are game-changers for any glass artist looking to elevate their craft and create stunning art pieces. Ed himself swears by them!
