Pros
Strong, stiff, sturdy, yet easily cut with a dremmel. Keeps lines perfectly straight -- especially as compared to other reinforcement products at Delphi -- because of its relative thickness.

Cons
Doesn't "take" the solder as easily as copper-coated or pre-tinned surfaces. I was able to work with it by applying a clean hot iron until the rod was HOT before applying solder.

Other Thoughts
Since weight was a mostly-useless number for my purposes, I waited for a discount coupon, and blindly bought a box. So that nobody ever has to again: My package consisted of 32 pieces of 6' (72") lengths of 1/8"×5/16" flat metal rods. The box was secured to a complementary length of wood (a standard lumberyard 2-by-4), presumably to keep the metal from bending. B-)

Pros
Excellent quality jewelry mold. I love Delphi's holey molds and own several. Excellent price especially if they are on sale.

Cons
Fused focal piece will be 4 inches. 3 inches may have been more to my liking.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I used 4 of these, interlinked in a transom window in my kitchen. it came out beautifully. Exactly as I had planned it.

Cons
None.

Other Thoughts
I have left over parts where I joined the clusters.

Pros
I use this iron for my students along with the temp control it gives great even heat. I also use the MIKA stand with this product. I have found it lasts well and is worth the modest cost.

Cons

Other Thoughts

Pros
They fire and torch just as they said they would. They are fun little gems.

Cons
None I can find.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Internal thermostat, great heating

Cons
Does have cold spots, but can work around that

Other Thoughts
I have six Weller 100's. Love them! The only iron I would buy.

Pros
I used this to make glass boxes... see photos

Cons
none

Other Thoughts
I have used my slump fuse program to make the boxes as well as the program suggested with the molds. Both worked very well - the more "clear glass" look was the program suggested by the mold manufacturer. I am delighted with both.

Pros
Easy to cut, easy to use holds up for many firings. Great for making your own drop out molds

Cons
The thickness inhibits the use of small fine designs.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Creates lovely pieces that can be used as pendants or decorations.

Cons
None so far.

Other Thoughts
Used Hi-Fire Hotline Shelf primer (failed to find the recommended Primo at the local shop and decided to try what I had in hand) and a small painter's brush to prime the mold, applied 7 or 8 coats. The fused thing dropped off pretty easily and the central post stayed in place. You really need to prime all curves carefully, especially around the post and the central "hook".

Pros
This is a fabulous cutter! It takes me less than a quarter of the time to cut the neck off a bottle compared to any other method I have used. It has saved me a ton of time. I highly recommend this tool!

Cons
There are no cons of that I have found.

Other Thoughts
It works very nicely on different size bottles without any problem. It's fabulous!

Pros
The mold is easy to work with and provides a nice finished product with very little work.. A full fuse and a slump is all that is needed

Cons
The mold size is not a true 12x12, it is actually 11 3/4 x 11 3/4. You will need to cut a 1/4 inch off each side of a 12 x 12 piece of glass. It is sometimes difficult to cut off such a slender piece. It would be nice if you did not have to do this and the mold was a true 12 x 12. If you do not do this, your mold is subject to cracking as the glass cools because it has wrapped over the edges of the mold. Knowing this beforehand can prevent this from happening.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I use these on most fused earrings. Well made product that lets earrings hang correctly.

Cons
Dealing with small components is always somewhat clumsy but there's no cure for that. I just set up a couple dozen at a time and glue away.

Other Thoughts
Larger packs of 48 or even a gross would be helpful.

Pros
These are really mini. If you produce small pieces they're ideal. Very nice finish on the metal, blends into the background. Gives just a little height and shows the piece nicely.

Cons
Too small for most of my work.

Other Thoughts
Sad some of the larger sizes were discontinued.

Pros
Perfect height for display at shows or in the client's home. Unobtrusive to let your work been seen at its best. Nice finish that blends into the background.

Cons
Ends up being slightly pricey if included with a lower priced fused piece.

Other Thoughts
Glad I ordered a few of the larger sizes before they were discontinued. The mini is too small for most of my work but it is also very nice.

Pros
I've owned a few bottle cutters. This is by far the best. Very stable, nice consistent score. And the FAST FAST FAST response I received from Ray at Cutter's Mate made me even happier. I inquired about an adjustment for my specific needs. Ray immediately got back to me and felt my solution should work. Looking forward to owning several more Creator's/Cutters products.

Cons
None.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Fast, accurate, easy to use with a little practice. Little or no waste of foil. I have two, one for black backed and one for regular foil. For larger pieces and straight pieces it keeps the foil perfectly centered. This tool will cut your foiling time in half. You still have to burnish, but it's easy when your foil is centered on the edge. If you do stained glass you need a table foiler.

Cons
The small pieces still have to be hand foiled, and you can't do tight indentations.

Other Thoughts
If you find some of the rolls are a little sticky on the table of the foiler just cut a piece of paper the same size as the roll of foil before you put the foil in the three holders and let the foil spin on the paper. With the paper "washer" the foil never sticks to the table.

Pros
I use this mold with beer bottles-clear definitely are nicer. I recommend devitrification liquid on the bottles before firing to prevent dullness-I am thrilled with the nice shiney clearness of the bottles, even if they have the rubbing on the shoulders......highly recommend this mold-product makes great spoon rests and sells well.

Cons
None!!
