Product Reviews
Pros
I like this brand better than most because it does flow well and looks nice afterward. I've had other brands that stick or pucker as you are working. This does neither - highly recommend
Cons
no cons

Pros
If you are fusing and want to add dimension this is the stuff! I have cut shapes and put them under the glass so it slumps over the shape. I have also used it between 2 sheets of glass as snow or clouds.
Cons
You have to be careful during clean up, it becomes airborne and you don't want to inhale it.

Pros
This is the greatest tool for cutting glass. I've been able to cut glass more precisely than ever before. I wouldn't trade my Taurus Ring saw for anything.
Cons
It's a little difficult getting all the glass dust residue out of the basin because of the various divots, but everything else far out weighs this.
Other Thoughts
I discovered putting a small amount of dish washing soap and ice in the water makes the saw cut even better.
Pros
I can't believe I used to use a small hand cutter and a slippery ruler! This system is amazing.....
Cons
Make sure to follow the instructions! and use a square to initially set it up or you may get slightly off center lines

Pros
This is a wonderful product. It makes cutting circles so much more precise and easy. It cuts down on grinding for that perfect circle. It has compact size for easy storage and the cutting blade rotates for multiple blades on a single disk.
Cons
You have to check the blade screw every time. With use it comes loose and sometimes makes your cut less than perfect so don't forget to check it before scoring. Also, it is sometimes on back-order for a long time. I waited 2 months to get mine....but it was worth the wait!
Other Thoughts
It will make your life much easier if you do circles. It's a must have.
Pros
Beautiful, all the rage, folds neatly into purse, lightweight and works like a charm
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Purse hangers are all the rage in Europe and is catching on in the States.
Pros
this cutter lets you cut weird designs with ease because you are "right on top" of the cut. It's really smooth.Its less stress on the wrist because you are cutting with the palm of your hand.
Cons
its hard to find in a large dish of tools? In other words, no con.

Pros
I first discovered this helpful tool on the final day of a stained glass class I was taking - had I only known about it beforehand! It's lightweight, easy to use, and makes easily grinding smaller pieces a snap without GRINDING your fingertips. The rubber tips act like a soft vice and give you perfect control over the piece.
Cons
Not so great with long, narrow pieces, as the glass loses integrity when off of a solid surface. I broke a few this way.

For any of you copper foilers out there, you will love this tool! It saved my poor fingers.
