Nice and sharp, I have only used once but cuts good, I cut glass for 5 years at work, we used these and carbide but I preferred the ones with tungsten carbide wheels, they cut smoother on difficult glass but 90 percent of the cut quality depends on user.

Works fine on 1/8 inch glass. Great for homeowner. For limited use, no need for a more expensive tool. Not the easiest to grip, but a little technique is all that’s needed. If you have a quarter inch mirror or glass, take it to someone who cuts glass for a living.

It's a standard glass cutter. Works the same as all other like it. However, i have you say that I always hated using these, because of the pressure needed to score glass. It hurts my hands

So this didn't work for me, but it may have been user error.I was trying to cut a thick older mirror down and while a small piece actually broke along the line I cut it at. The rest broke around where I cut a ruined the mirror. I made several passes while cutting with oil but it still failed me. It might work better on a thinner piece of glass or making a lot more cutting passes. For me a failed so I gave it 1 star.

Definitely a reliable tool, but my first attempt with it didn't go as smoothly as I hoped. I used it to cut some glass, and while it performed as expected, I didn't quite do a perfect job, and the glass ended up breaking. However, I wouldn't blame the tool entirely for my mishap—I probably just need a bit more practice! Overall, I still think it's a decent glass cutter, especially for someone who's a bit more skilled than I am.

Very difficult to get consistant cutting on thin glass.

Wanted this item for the ball end and the “E†shaped breaking tool. Works perfectly . Have tried the cutter and it worked well ; but, I have another good cutter that I prefer to use. Good item for the price
