I originally started cutting on the basic biter nipper. I used that for several
years before I broke my ways and started using the wheeled nipper. At the
time, the majority of what I was cutting was china. With vintage plates and
the stoneware plates, I got a lot of crumbling with the biter nipper. That was
frustrating when I was trying to cut around images and was going to resell
the broken china. In addition, cutting through a tough plate is much easier
with the wheeled nipper.

There was also a reduced strain on my hand. With the amount of china I still
cut, the biter nipper takes a toll. I always wear gloves when cutting, but there
are days where I would be cutting for hours, and the wheeled nipper gave
me more endurance.

Now, I use the wheeled nipper about 90% of the time. For my purposes, it is
the best tool.
