Morton Glass Caddy by Sandra F on August 1, 2011 5 stars
Pros
This is a very handy item. It is so nice to be able to store glass and tell in minutes what colors and kinds of glass you have. Would recommend it.
Cons
None

PMC3 Syringe by SilvArtGlsJwlry (top contributor) on July 30, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Draw with silver using the syringe- you can create your design right on the glass, affix CZs, silver casting beads, or create a filigree base or design.
Cons
None!
Other Thoughts
Store your open PMC Syringe in a florist's vial (like for a corsage) filled with water to keep it good for months. Push the syringe into the vial so the entire tip is enclosed, and you don't have to worry about refilling a cup, or evaporation.

Generation Green (g2) Bottle Cutter by SilvArtGlsJwlry (top contributor) on July 30, 2011 4 stars
Pros
I really like my Generation Green bottle cutter. I cut bottles to make bowls, bells, candle holders, etc. I get consistently even cuts, can adjust the height and width as needed, and get good results.
Cons
Do not separate the bottles using water baths as the directions say. It does not work properly that way- the bottles split unevenly. If you use a candle flame you can direct the break properly. Heat the entire score mark first, then concentrate on one inch at a time, directing the flame where you want the glass to break.

Pocket Drill Set by SilvArtGlsJwlry (top contributor) on July 30, 2011 5 stars
Pros
This is great for times when you don't need or can't take a Dremel. I used it to drill pearls for a rosary. It works well, is easy to use, and is self-contained.
Cons
None. It does what it is designed to do.

Abrasive Stone by SilvArtGlsJwlry (top contributor) on July 30, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Great for filing down burs or smoothing rough edges on paperweights or recycled glass. Cheap option over sanding pads. Good for rough work.
Cons
Can't reach small areas.
Other Thoughts
It would be nice to see a smaller version of this.

Diamond Hand Pad Assortment - 4 Pack by SilvArtGlsJwlry (top contributor) on July 30, 2011 4 stars
Pros
Nice assortment of grits. They do a good job of removing burs on fused glass, or finishing edges of cut bottles. If you flip them over, the colored part is good for buffing off mild to moderate kiln dust on projects.
Cons
Many times I wish they were flexible. You cannot reach small areas at all.
Other Thoughts
They are a good deal for the money, and very useful.

17" Votive Bottle Hanger by SilvArtGlsJwlry (top contributor) on July 29, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Strong wire, good height. Easy to use. Candle and glass holder included
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
It would be nice to see a shorter version. The length of wire coming out of a typical bottle neck is great if you wish to hang it directly on a porch hook, but not great if you plan to make your own decorative hanger.

8.5 oz Yellow Opal Fine Frit - 96 COE by StaceysLawnDecor (top contributor) on July 28, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Easy to work with. It has a bright lemon color. Good sized bottle and good value.
Cons
non

Studio Pro 1/2" Breaking Pliers by catphill on July 27, 2011 5 stars
Pros
I hadn't changed my breaking pliers since I started working with glass, back in 1980. After 41 years the biting edges were round and they gummed the glass to death. The new pliers, which look and feel exactly like the old ones, break the glass cleanly and on the scoring line. What a joy!
Cons
None

Deluxe Studio In A Box Kit - 90 COE by berriecreative on July 26, 2011 5 stars
Pros

Cons
none so far!
Other Thoughts

Bullseye Studio Fuser Glass Pack - 90 COE by berriecreative on July 26, 2011 5 stars
Pros
If you want to play with colors and a kiln this is the pack for you. Lots of colors and all different!

Other Thoughts
If your just starting out this is the pack for you!

3/4" Fine Glastar Grinder Bit by catphill on July 25, 2011 5 stars
Pros
I can't believe I waited this long (at least 10 years) to replace my old Glastar grinder head. This new one is fast, and doesn't take chips out of the glass.
Cons
none

Ponytail Holders - 5 Pack by jkonthehill on July 25, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Great Product!
Cons
Other Thoughts
Wish they were less expensive, but such a great item.

Oceanside White on Clear Baroque by Nadeau on July 23, 2011 5 stars
Pros
I usually use Baroque to drape vases or slump large plates, it works great, with other regular glass I had a crackling problems.
Cons
Nothing to complain about
Other Thoughts
Wish Baroque came in many more colors
