Hey glass family! Are you one of those bad asses who makes big glass? If so, these grabbers are made just for you!

Made and donated by highwater of www.Steelheadglasstools.com, who is a glass artist himself for over 13 years.

I also enjoy fishing and spending time with my wife (not in that order).

I think we can all agree that glass artists make the best glass tools and he designed these very well. I have a pair so I can vouch for the high quality! Also, everything on these is replaceable!

I certainly agree with that! These are the nicest pair I own and I own quite a few. Also, the biggest I own!

I wanted a pair like this for years; thanks for designing them, Dan!! And thank you for the awesome donation and support of TMP!

Dan also does custom tools, so keep that in mind!

I wanted to bid again but my money transfers are all posting late. The winner def got a good buy. And as close to retail as the bids got, the toolmaker surely got his wholesale. A win win

Looks like crampon takes it! Congrats!! I will PM you.

Thanks again to Dan for the support of our site!!

The grabbers arrived a couple days ago and I just wanted to say these are awesome. Definitely the nicer than the HA options. Thanks again TMP and Steelhead Glass Tools!
