Pros
I have a lot of fracture - streamer collage glass, when using small pieces, for wind chimes, etc. I use the confetti to balance the colors in all pieces - it's wonderful.

Cons

Other Thoughts
It has colors in all of the different Bullseye patterns - very economical way to use even the smallest pieces effectively.

Pros
This baby is quiet, clean & versatile! I love the fact that I can switch 3/4" to 1/4" & 1/"8 bits with ease. It provides all that is expected from a grinder & more. Clean-up is easy.

Cons
The accessory drawer sticks a bit, but a little silicone lube does wonders!

Other Thoughts
This unit replaced a 30+y/o Glastar which I inherited years ago. It finally developed a leak, after years of moderate use. So I went with the same brand.

Pros
love this glass

Cons
wish it was cut straighter

Other Thoughts

Pros
Makes cutting angles easier and a lot cleaner.

Cons
Handle needs tightened every 4th or 5th cut.

Other Thoughts
Wish it came as a set with the miter box, almost didn't order it as I thought it was part of a set as pictured.

Pros
Easy to create beautiful pieces with little skill. Scraps of dichroic and plenty of clear add depth.

Cons
Too big to wear for a pendant for most women. The prong is delicate. I ruined a similar mold due to glass sticking.

Other Thoughts
I highly recommend using MR-97 Boron Nitride Mold release.

Pros
We love it.

Cons
None

Pros
I have had a lot of fun with this kit. Almost everything needed to start "doing" stained glass. The video is pretty easy to follow and most of the tools are well made and easy to use.

Cons
The video talks about using a bevel for the center of the project instead of cutting a circle. It would be so easy for this to be included in the kit, saving a lots of frustration. The flux pen should be replaced with a small bottle of flux and a brush as the flux pen was less than useless, no directions and it broke quickly. This kit would be really great with just a few little changes.

Other Thoughts
I have had a lot of fun with this for a relatively small expense. I have made several small projects and think I am hooked!

Pros
Great projects with great color suggestions. Cuts can be made by most anyone with great results!

Cons
Designs are not made to be small, these are meant to be big and bold.

Other Thoughts
Not for people looking for artistic expression, these are colorful splashes of fun.

Pros
I find it to be a very good choice for the money. Sure there are bigger and more powerful tools available but they are about twice the cost.

Cons
It is kind of loud.

Other Thoughts
Perhaps a water delivery system such as is used with the disk grinder could be employed. A slow drippier or a controlled spray to keep the belt consistently wet would really be an improvement over the sponge. But the sponge does a good job of keeping the belt just wet enough, with a minimum of over spray. I don't expect this benchtop tool to have the capacity of the much larger and more expensive models. It was not meant to serve the same demands.

Pros
Great value. You get a lot of bang for your buck, some of the most beautiful colors of glass, and all the tools you need to start your first project. The instructional DVD has great tips for cutting, foiling, soldering and lead came. I would recommend this package to anyone.

Cons
The DVD, although very informative, has glitches in it which seems to be common for Delphi DVD's.

Other Thoughts
Over all, I am very happy with the ultimate lead tool kit and recommend it "what a great value".

Pros
This is a must have if you want to shape zinc, braze or copper. It works well and is very sturdy.

Cons
The handles were plastic not metal as shown on picture. Also it would have been nice if they included the two screws that bolts it to a table but I understand that everyone's table may be a different size.

Other Thoughts
I am very happy with my new tool.

Pros
Easy to work with and form into a circle. It is also easy to open the inside for large openings

Cons
