When to choose it

Choose the GLN-V1 if you need to trim lead came while fitting short sections at a panel corner. The spring-assisted handles reopen after a cut. That is useful to compare when the job calls for repeated small adjustments to the channel rather than one long layout operation.

The seller identifies the material for this tool as lead came. Check the shape of the channel and the space around the cut before choosing the jaws. If you are shaping the glass itself, compare a scoring or grozing tool for that separate material.

Fit and buying advice
