220 Grit Diamond Hand Pad by cwiescamp (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
These are nice for finishing fused pieces. Getting it wet really helps.
Cons
Other Thoughts
A bit pricey, but for diamond head, you expect that.

Studio Pro 1/2" Breaking Pliers by cwiescamp (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
These do the job they advertise. A bit hard to break off really small bits, but that is to be expected.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Good value!

Bullseye Spring Green, Deep Pink and Black on Clear Fracture-Streamer - 90 COE by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
These colors are gorgeous together and it looks great over white glass.
Cons
I'm sure it's hard to distribute the fracture elements evenly when being made - so maybe this is not well suited to a large piece unless purchased in person so you can select the right glass sheet for your project.

Morton Mini Surface Plus - 2 Pack by cwiescamp (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
This is a must have. It catches all the little shards and keeps them from marring my table. We also reuse all those little bits in small pieces - dichroic glass is expensive and we use every last shard!
Cons
Other Thoughts
Great value.

Bullseye Thinfire Shelf Paper - 20-1/2" x 20-1/2" Sheet by cwiescamp (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
This stuff is amazing - extremely smooth back with no kiln wash. Easy to use, no mess. I get several firings from one sheet - just be careful when you remove the fused items and you can keep reusing.
Cons
Other Thoughts
A bit pricey but totally worth it.

Bullseye Dark Green, Spring Green and Yellow on Clear Mardi Gras - 90 COE by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
This is one of my favorites. I made a yellow bowl with this on top and it was stunning!
Cons
When I wanted to make some smaller objects with the remaining scrap, it was hard to use because there is a lot of area with just clear glass. You can fill in some with frit, but can't duplicate the lovely meandering green lines.

Studio Pro Pistol Grip Glass Cutter by cwiescamp (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
This was the first glass cutter I bought, and it is a charm. It is still working great after hours of use. I've tried more expensive ones with less outcome.
Cons
None.
Other Thoughts
Definitly worth the price.

Great for giving gifts and the price point is good.

Glastar All Star G8 Grinder by cwiescamp (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
I didn't find it hard to set this up at all. The mini table works great for tight corners - I'm using it on the interior of fused switch plate and outlet covers - works like a charm! Super quiet.
Cons
Sprays water, but I expected that! The design is a bit 70's - but it works, so that is what matters.
Other Thoughts
I expect this to last for years.

Power Max II Grinder by melaniefeerst0404190518 on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
for the small size, the motor is powerful and this go-to workhorse is able to keep up with a full day of grinding!
Cons
the water drainage tube needs to be redesigned - when the water is at grinding level its always running out of the tube
Other Thoughts
portable and love the red color!!

17 Gauge High Temp Wire by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
I use jewelry tools to curl this wire and then embed it in my glass projects, to make a built-in hanger. I feel more secure with that than gluing a bail on something heavier than jewelry.
Cons
Although it loses it's shiny silver look in the kiln, I can paint it silver (or any color) after the fact.

Gold Marker - Fine Point by Karen W on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
the fine point is great for numbering small pieces, the gold is a good contrast on dark glass
Cons
I was shaking it per the instructions and ink splattered out

Tinning Block by Karen W on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros

Other Thoughts

Layout Block Bundle by Karen W on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
lots of sizes to fit every project; enough to block multiple projects at once
Cons
sometimes the pins lose their heads, but not really a problem since the set comes with so many
Other Thoughts

Cons
I wish they came also came in a finer grit

Custom Grip TAP Wheel Supercutter by olsensreva0803180619 on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
I have tried all types of cutters & the Toyo Supercutter wins hands down. I have weak wrists & a hand tremor and this tool enables me to continue to work in stained glass without fatigue. I found this cutter to be easier to control than either the pencil or pistol grip cutters. The adjustable grip allows the user to find the most comfortable fit & the quality of cutter is high. My other cutters are consigned to a drawer. Great cutting tool!
Cons
None!
