Studio Pro 3/8" Breaker / Grozer Pliers

Item# 5066

6 of 9 found the following review helpful:

An essential, April 12, 2011 5 stars

Pros
I don't know how I lived without these. I love using the grozer side to nibble away at the edge of glass whenever it breaks wrong or I cut it a little too big.

Cons
Tends to fling shards of glass in every direction. You might want to wear glasses with these.

Worthless, April 12, 2011 1 stars

Pros
Price, but you're better off spending more

Cons
Maybe we've been spoiled by running pliers with metal jaws, but my mom and I can't get these to break anything, not even thin glass.

Studio Pro Pistol Grip Glass Cutter

A decent cutter, April 12, 2011 4 stars

Pros
I'm tempted to say this makes a nicer score than my previous Toyo cutter. It feels comfortable in my hand.

Cons
I've never had problems with it leaking oil out the end where you fill it, but it deposits a LOT of oil during cutting, which makes a slippery mess for my fingers.

Cuts well, but poor durability, April 12, 2011 2 stars

Pros
I learned to cut glass on this, and it makes nice scores and feels comfortable in my hand. I've never had problems with it leaking oil.

Cons
I'd had this for only four months when the top of it cracked clean off. I continued using it, with a plastic baggie rubber-banded over the opening, only to have the cutting end also break clean off after another three months.

Green / Magenta Blue on Clear Granite Ripple - 90 COE

Item# 94111

Exceptional coloring, April 12, 2011 4 stars

Pros
In addition to the dramatic wavy texture this gives to tack fusing, the green/magenta blue color does just what it says. You end up with undulating streaks of pinky purple accented with lime green and blue. Great visual complexity!

Cons
Like all ripple glass, it's hard to cut and hard to stack other glass on top of.

Fuseworks Dichroic Pre-Cut Circles - 90 COE

Item# 425881

Pretty cool, April 12, 2011 4 stars

Pros
My mom used one of these in tack fusing and ended up with a gorgeous, no-fuss pendant that was quickly snatched up by a customer.

Cons
The circle developed a cracked, overcooked look in the kiln (maybe because the circles are for "microwave" use?)

Emerald Aurora Borealis On Thin Black - 90 COE

Item# 90291

Adore this, April 12, 2011 5 stars

Pros
If you love cool tones, you will love the purples, blues, and greens that characterize this glass. Overall, I'd say you should expect darker hues than those pictured--think teal-tinged hunter green, deepest purple, and ultramarine. It fuses to a smooth, sparkly finish that's just nuanced enough to keep me reaching for it again and again. A basic with just the right amount of oomph.

Cons
