Cutting Pliers Topex 200 mm model 16B441 for ceramic tile and glazed materials are hand-operated cutting pliers designed to trim, notch and adjust ceramic and glazed tiles during installation.

Advantages

The hardened cutting edges deliver wear resistance and maintain sharpness for repeated use on ceramic and glazed surfaces. The 200 mm compact size gives good leverage while remaining maneuverable in tight spaces. The design offers accurate control for delicate trimming and small adjustments, reducing the risk of over-cutting. The pliers’ construction is robust to withstand the stresses of cutting brittle tile materials.

Suitable for

• Trimming tile edges and corners during installation
• Removing small chips or imperfections from glazed tiles
• Shaping small tile pieces for mosaic or detail work
• On-site manual adjustments where power tools are impractical

Key specifications

• Total length: 200 mm
• Cutting edge material: hardened steel
• Intended materials: ceramic and glazed tiles
• Operation: manual hand pliers
• Typical applications: trimming, notching, chip removal

How to use

Position the hardened cutting edges on the area of the tile to be trimmed or chipped and apply steady hand pressure to make a controlled cut or notch. For edge finishing, make several light passes rather than trying to remove large pieces at once. Use the pliers to remove small fragments and to shape tiles for fitting around obstacles or into narrow gaps. Keep fingers clear of the jaws and ensure the tile is supported to avoid unintended breakage.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection when cutting ceramic or glazed tiles to protect against flying fragments. Inspect the cutting edges periodically and replace the tool if the jaws become excessively worn or damaged. For larger cuts or thicker tiles, consider using specialized tile cutters or power tools; use these pliers for precision trimming and small-scale shaping.
