About This Product
Carbide Tile Nippers for Porcelain Cutting
BARWALTĀ® Ultrabiteā¢ Tile Nippers use precision-finished carbide cutting surfaces to cut porcelain tile with less compressive force. The carbide is ground with industrial diamonds to produce a precise cutting edge for controlled tile nipping and shaping.
Reduced Cutting Force and Improved Control
The Ultrabiteā¢ design requires only one-third of the compressive force to cut through porcelain tile compared with conventional nipping force requirements stated by BARWALT. Reducing the force required at the handles gives the installer greater control while making incremental cuts and shaping tile.
Over-Molded Handles and Stainless Steel Bearing
Over-molded cushioned handle sleeves provide a secure grip and are designed to remain attached during use. A stainless steel bearing resists rust and requires less oiling, supporting smooth operation and reduced maintenance over the life of the tool.
Original Non-Radius Cutting Design
This 70316 model is the original non-radius version of the Ultrabiteā¢ Tile Nippers. Unlike the Radius model with its curved cutting edge for corners and additional configurations, the original model uses the standard Ultrabite cutting design for controlled porcelain tile nipping.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can BARWALT Ultrabite Tile Nippers cut porcelain tile?
Yes. The Ultrabiteā¢ Tile Nippers use precision-ground carbide cutting surfaces and are designed for cutting and shaping porcelain tile.
How much force do the Ultrabite Tile Nippers require?
BARWALT states that the Ultrabiteā¢ Tile Nippers require only one-third of the compressive force to cut through porcelain tile, reducing the force required while providing greater control.
Is the 70316 Ultrabite model the Radius version?
No. Part number 70316 is the original non-radius Ultrabiteā¢ Tile Nipper supplied here. The Radius model uses a curved cutting edge for cutting corners and additional configurations.
What are the cutting surfaces made from?
The cutting surfaces are made from carbide ground to a precision finish using industrial diamonds.
Do the handles have cushioned grips?
Yes. The handles feature over-molded cushioned sleeves designed to remain securely attached during use.
Does the bearing require regular maintenance?
The nippers use a stainless steel bearing that resists rust and requires less oiling.
