Ratings & Reviews for Blue Hawk 14-in Ceramic Tile Snap cutter

Don't waste your money.

The scoring tool is nearly useless, and the breaker might be useful for thin tiles or small tiles, but if you're working on larger tiles with a thickness of 1/4" - 3/8", there's a good chance you'll ruin more tiles than you manage to successfully cut.

does what is expected for the$

Good for diy’s small projects. Saves lots of time and running back and forth to the wet saw for straight cuts. For those who have complaints i suggest you reconsider your statements considering its a lot cheaper than hiring a contractor it will get you through a small job so who cares if you have to spend another $20 on the next project that could cost thousands. Or better yet do it for a living and it will pay for itself!!

Not the best

For the money and what I needed it for it worked ok. You not recommend for precision work.

Snap Cutter

Product does work but the cutting wheel is not effective. Must score ceramic tiles multiple times in order to snap... Which is fine. However, the blade wheel does not cut on the same line even with the tile locked in place. But it does work.

works well and comes with an extra cut wheel included in the handle

14-in Snap Cutter by Blue Hawk

Performed as advertised. Worked every time it was used.

Works great for glass tiles

So i bought this because i was having many issues cutting glass with my wet tile saw. To my amazement this this worked pretty good! This even worked for helping me cut the larger tiles that were a very cheaply bought tile by one of my customers and actually worked great considering the colder temperature. So im curious can this work for cutting LVP as well i typed in lvp cutter on Lowes app and this is what popped up? So if anyone had tried let me know please and thanks!

great item!

I have a wet saw. First time using glass tiles. I bought this for the job. It was simple to use and worked very well!!

Instructions

I have seen some reviews regarding the use and undesirable results:Broken tiles, no replacement wheels available a Lowes, etc. It seems to me some of them did not read the instructions. I did however,saw some flaws in the instructions. As far as the cutting wheels, the part number is on the troubleshooting page. There's a phone number at the very bottom of the page. As far as the broken tiles, same thing; not reading the instructions. Thickness and type of materials to be cut are there. Complai...

Very easy to use for anybody wanting to do your own projects.

Works, but creates jagged edges

Used this tile cutter for my subway tile back splash. It was quick to cut, but I'm glad the tiles only cost $0.22 each as it took me a few tries to get a clean break. Also, the edge was not as clean as I would have liked - but perhaps that's because of the $0.22 tiles! The grout covered most of the jagged edge. Also, it has a plastic measuring guide that is pretty darn flimsy and I ended up not using it. In all a decent cutter at a decent price for a DIY job.

Sometimes you get less than you pay for.

I was cutting 3/8" ceramic tile. My 24" cutter had a dull wheel and no immediate replacement was available. Ran to Lowe's and ended up getting this. Made two decent cuts (using multiple scoring on each) and then the next two had poor scoring and the tiles shattered. Blades should last more than 2 cuts. Using my wet saw.

Junk poor quality

Of course I wasn't expecting a premium cutter, but if it cant cut a straight line on a 12" tile, it shouldn't be offered for sale. Due to the poor design and extra thin gauge metal, you have to apply more pressure to the cutting wheel and then tile cutter bows even more, creating a 1/16-1/8" bow to the center of a 12" and 14" cut. When you press the breaker bar, the tile push dow and the creates sharp undercuts. Just dont waste your money, even if it's for a small one time project. I would hate ...

Blue Hawk Snap Cutter

I am laying tile around my bathtub and shower in the master bath. The Blue Hawk Snap Cutter works easy and great. You get a clean cut every time. It has cut my time significantly once I started using it.

Glass Tile

Used this to cut a small amount of glass tile and it worked good for me, can't comment on longevity but it worked for my needs

Great cutter!

If you need a tile cutter, this is the one. Cuts any size with no issue and if you have ever dealt with tile before, that is quite impressive.
