When to choose it

Choose this Leponitt model if you need a smooth jaw to grip an accessible area near a score. The selected listing describes a 3/8-inch smooth jaw and a 6 1/2-inch tool length. The smooth working face is the feature to compare with a serrated grozing jaw.

If the glass has already separated and you need to nibble small irregularities from an edge, compare the PCJ-1A. If a longer score needs opening, compare a dedicated running jaw. Choose according to how the tool must meet the edge.
