    Nickelite Glassblowing blowpipes and punties are coming back! The superb design and craftsmanship of Nickelite (CR Machine) is making a return, although on a more limited basis.
    I have been making these premium tools since 1998. I use the highest quality materials in the business; higher in nickel and chrome, and my tools are the strongest lightweight tools on the planet. Long head length, "micro-knurling" and balance engineering make these tools the easiest to work with.
    I will be adding more tools in the store as time goes on. If you have been wondering where I went, I have relocated to Houston, TX to work on an exciting new project. In my spare time, I am getting back into the glassblowing tool business.
    Please note that I charge a handling charge to pay for the time I spend to carefully package the tool. In my experience, properly packaging these tools for shipping is crucial to reduce the chances of shipping induced damage.
    Every tool I make is straightened to very high standards and leaves my shop in excellent condition.
    With that said, there still is a chance, albeit small, that your tool could receive damage from shipping.
    It's a pleasure to provide my craftsmanship once again to discerning, quality conscious glassblowers.
