Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 5.2-in Glass Cutter

First Time worked

I've never cut glass before and I am definitely a mirror professional, me and my wife are remodeling our bathroom and instead of spending $400 plus one mirrors I bought this tool and cut the old ones we had to the size of some frames we found. Actually I broke the first mirror and had to go get a replacement but it was Fairley easy. Honestly I just read the directions that came with the cutter and it worked fine. the broken mirror was my fault if I just paid more attention to my cut it would of ...

Cobalt Glass Cutter

Has 5 cutting/scoring wheels but only 3 worked; 2 of the wheels were stuck and not usable even with WD40. Still 3 wheels is a good value compared to the single-wheel product.

If you need a perfect cut on thicker glass/mirror this isn't the tool you want.

Don't plan on cutting much with this

It might work on very thin glass, but my 1/4" was more than it could handle for sure. Steer clear and...

Product was easy to use.

I did use an old glass cutter with a ball to tap the underside of the glass I was cutting to make the break run. I was cutting 1/4 inch glass. I did wash the glass before cutting and lubricated both the glass and the cutting wheel with kerosine. Very satisfied. Allen
