Junk!

Would Not Recommend

Every attempt rendered broken glass, not cut glass. Scoring with this tool means nothing. Might as well be breaking glass with a rock.

first time

Would Recommend

this was my first time cutting glass. and honestly as long as you use a cutting lube it works pretty darn good compared to most of the reviews. the knly thing I didn't like was the fact the one lowes actually has only has three cutting wheels not 6 like thw picture and its the same price. other than that I'd but another if I needed on.

Kobalt Glass Cutter Disapountment

Would Not Recommend

I bought this glass cutter cuz it was what it was advertised on your website when I got it home it had said it had six blades in it it didn't and it turned out that the one you have hanging on the Shelf which is the exact same price and looks exactly the same as the one that's on your website, is not the one that's on your website there's a difference between them and I was really disappointed and then it really didn't work well so it's not you guys I know it's Kobalt that makes it but not real ...

If you want broken glass buy this!

Would Not Recommend

Don’t bother, waste of money. Score and snap they say? Oh it snapped alright, right down the middle of a whole pane, completely ruined. Went get a sheet of Lexan instead.

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

Can't cut glass to the edge of frame and when trying to cut plexiglass it wouldn't even make a mark on plexiglass.

Don't even try

Would Not Recommend

I can not express in words how poorly made this tool is. The cutter wheels wobbles on the shaft, making your cut wander miserably. The "alloy steel" wheels are ground like a carbide wheel, but are soft like normal steel, so they require so much pressure that you feel like you're going to break the glass underneath. 0/10 worst..cutter...ever. I would rather try my luck with a butter knife. Just don't. Go get the carbide one that holds oil from somewhere that sells it.
