Tile nippers / nibblers.

I got some Genesis ones when CTD had them on offer. The tips broke quite easily so probably wont buy them again. Might try Rubi next.

From any pair I've owned, the blue handled ones seem to wear very well and the red handled ones are of poor quality. Had my current pair for a good few years with good teeth and regularly nip porcelain round quadrant trays, toilet waste etc. Have a feeling they were in a Draper packet, but would imagine they're all made in one or two places.

Anybody else take the spring out as soon as they get new nippers? Sprung nippers are horrible.
