Amazing Hand Held Glass Cutter Tool Made In Uk Best Glass Cutting Tool And Glass Breaker For Stained Glass Sheets Cutting Thick Glass Mirror Glass Tile And Mosaic Glass and Bottle of Glass Cutting Oil

I had the idea of hanging a bunch of mirrors on my office walls as an art installation, so off to thrift stores I went. Amongst already framed mirrors, I also got two very large (24" x 36" & 36" x 40") frameless mirrors, one thin (<1/8") and the other thick (>1/4"). I also picked up a bunch of thrift shop frames ranging from 8" x 10" to 4" x 6". That's when I ordered the glass cutter.I was very nervous about cutting the mirrors since I had never done it before. I reviewed the amusingly-written instructions included with the glass cutter over and over as I worked up my courage. Once I took the plunge, I was pleased to find out that this glass cutter is amazingly effective. I did the thin mirror first since I thought it would be easier. The thick mirror was actually the easier one. I only had 2-3 cuts (Out of several dozen) that didn't quite break as desired (Wavering line or small bulge). This was TOTALLY My Bad - I got careless during the cut. With my handy-dandy glass cutter I was able to salvage the mis-cut pieces. All in all, I ended up with over 40 small mirrors that look really cute in their mix of secondhand frames on my office walls.I did contact the seller with two questions. One was about the lack of that red padding thing in the clamp used to snap the glass. The other was about the lack of the Union Jack emblem pictured. The seller responded within a few hours. Turns out the red thing was in the baggie with the oil (Teach me to shoot off emails without checking all package contents!). The emblem was just for the ad since the "Made in UK" stamp in the metal was not clearly visible in the photo. This was slightly disappointing as I am an Anglophile and had liked the emblem, but I drew my own mutant version on in permanent marker, so all is well. Point is, the seller responded to my unfounded concerns promptly - I really appreciated it. That and the fact that the glass cutter worked so well that I, a novice to glass cutting, was able to use it so effectively first time out of the gate.I'm totally out of office wall space but have found that I like cutting glass - ESPECIALLY the the part when I *snap* it in two (It's oddly satisfying). Sooo... I'm now eyeing the hall - I think it could probably be brightened up with the addition of few custom-cut mirrors. Off to the thrift shops!

My previous adventures with a cheap hardware store glass cutters did not end well, so I bit the bullet and bought these. This might be the first time I’ve made really good, clean breaks.The large roller moves more smoothly than the tiny carbide wheels I’ve used before, and I think the size also makes it a bit more forgiving of heavy pressure.The chasing pliers let me trim off long, inch-wide strips without bumps and chips. The way this is going, I’ll have my storm windows replaced in no time.One small suggestion: get a piece of large heat shrink or other rubber tubing to protect the blade so it doesn’t get damaged from bouncing around in your toolbox. But that’s a pretty small nit-pick for a product that makes it this easy to score! (hehe)

I watched and read all the documentation and wonder how they made it look so easy! It is NOT easy at all and you better have some spare stuff to cut to practice.

Thanks for the manufacturer's response to my question on marble mosaic cutting. I was able to make a good scoring, and then followed by a slightly deeper cut using the Dremel cutting wheel. The ease of breaking the 8mm marble mosaic was a great help. The breaking up into smaller pieces still needed more practices to get it right 100% of the time. Also thanks for the nicely written instructions with many good advices.

These are top notch and work we'll!
