Teenie Tiny, September 12, 2011 2 stars

Pros
They are usable in a bind.

Cons
Not suitable for large projects. Brushes lose a lot of hairs.

Bye-Bye chipped glass, December 7, 2010 5 stars

Pros
Years ago I did not start out using twofers, but now I will use no other. Recently, I have found it to be getting very difficult to keep my glass from chipping for some reason. Once I switched brands of bits my time at the grinder is better well spent and my productivity has improved. My patience too!

Cons
They don't last quite as long, but since they are less expensive it works out.

Helps carpal tunnel symptoms, August 31, 2010 3 stars

Pros
I have carpal tunnel (due to pregnancy) this cutter really helps ease my symptoms.

Cons
I have used a supercutter for years with no problems. The first cut I made with this pistol grip cutter, oil leaked from the seams all over my hand...I do like the feel of the cutter so I will just use it with a few drops of cutting oil at a time.

Perfect fit, August 30, 2010 5 stars

Pros
Makes your trusty old pliers like new again.

Cons
You'll think for a moment that they won't fit....but with some elbow grease, they will!

A pleasure to use, July 14, 2010 5 stars

Pros
Grind with confidence. Not one risk of chipped glass with these bits. I will only use standard bits for really tough glass from now on.

Cons
No cons

Inland Temptrol 100 Watt Soldering Iron

Item# 5002IN

Great for beginners or Pro's, July 14, 2010 5 stars

Pros
This iron is a pleasure to use. Beginners or pro's should not think twice about using an iron with temp control. (it took me years to discover)...It's a must. I wish I would have purchased this iron years ago!

Cons
No cons, that I can see.

Wizling CG Grinder

Item# 7214CG

Used without fail for 10 years!, July 14, 2010 5 stars

Pros
The best little grinder I have owned yet. I started using this grinder as a beginner.... It has now been 10 years and still working like a champ! I would guess it has over ten thousand hours on it. You can grind for hours at a time with no overheating. Allows you to drop your bits down all the way, utilizing every inch of bit surface.

Cons
No cons

Wizard IV Grinder

Item# 72004

A nightmare, July 14, 2010 1 stars

Pros
It is nice to have storage for bits and sponges.

Cons
Overheats and the motor seizes after 1/2 hour of grinding. (I have the legs on risers too, giving the motor plenty of air). Also, this grinder will not let you drop bits down all the way.

Novacan Old Masters Flux - 8 Oz

Item# 5510

Never lets me down, July 12, 2010 5 stars

Pros
I have used this flux for 10 years. If you use the right flux brush, it goes on smooth and stays on.

Cons
I think you have to use brushes with real hair....the very inexpensive brushes have plastic brush tips.

Wissmach Purple, Dark Blue, Yellow and Green Opal

Item# 238NLSP

One of my favorites, May 21, 2010 5 stars

Pros
The picture here does not do this glass justice. This is a beautiful glass and very easy to cut!

Cons
It is hard to color match two sheets. Buying a large sheet is a must with this glass.
