Pros
Works very well for my purpose. solid and deep enough to use resin.
Cons
no CONS for me - works for what I need
Other Thoughts
I wanted to use these for framing pictures and covering with resin or diamond glaze. The depth is perfect for this use.

Recirculating Submersible Pump for Lap Grinders by jellybug on April 20, 2009 4 stars
Pros
Doesn't leak. Provides a steady water steam.
Cons
Hard to fit included hose over the output nozzle. Documentation is .. stark.
Other Thoughts
If you're having trouble getting the included tube onto the nozzle (and you will), heat a cup of water and stick the rubber tube into it for a minute to soften it. It will still be a struggle, but that's how I mentioned to get the tube on. The tube supplied with the pump falls out of the water intake on the Crystallite lap grinder when dry. It seems to stick better when wet. A small brass tube comes with the pump kit that may be an adapter for the water intake, but it's never mentioned in the instruction manual, so its purpose is unclear.

Complete Beetle Bits Starter Kit by sherrygs on April 19, 2009 5 stars
Pros
I do a lot of strip piecing and this helps on 2 fronts. First, the perfect angle of the cutter minimizes the proportion of broken strips. Second, when I spend HOURS cutting strips with a hand-held glass cutter, my hand starts aching. With this cutter, I can use either hand to slide the cutter. No more aches!
Cons
I have two issues with the ruler: 1. getting the zero point on the ruler right is sometimes a challenge. That's a big deal with some of the precision cutting I do. 2. the ruler will sometimes rotate around -- I've stopped that by putting the oil holder against the far end of the ruler to hold it in place.

7-1/4" x 5-1/8" x 2" One Candle Bridge Mold by Ruth S on April 18, 2009 5 stars
Pros
This product is easy to use and makes a beautiful slumped candle holder. It can be used to create a holder using a single piece of glass or multiple layers that have been fused.
Cons
Remember to keep the small holes clear.

90 Degree Notcher by jannybug on April 18, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Although I don't use Cascade brand zinc, copper, or brass, the notcher is easily adjustable and can be used with most any brand. I make sun catchers in the shapes of crosses and love to wrap them in copper. With the notcher, the corners are so perfect that I don't even need to solder them. It not only saves a ton of time, it makes everything look more professional.
Cons
The base is a little lightweight. It's meant to be attached to a surface, but I wanted mine to remain mobile. So I attached it to a 2x4 board.
Other Thoughts
This is a must-have for anyone who uses the stiffer metals for framing and wants beautiful, perfect results.
