Does not Cut

Would Not Recommend

This does not cut at all, just lightly scores the top of glass. More like a glass pen. Will return.

It does it's job like it should.

Would Recommend

Worked like a charm. Hint: dip the cutter in kerosene before you make your cut. The cutting wheels will last longer and you'll get a clean cut.

I usually like the quality of Kobalt tools and wh...

Choose another cutter

Would Not Recommend

I've used a lot of cutters over the years, but this one is near the bottom of the list. It cuts fine for a few feet then you must switch to a new wheel. Probably ok for single strength but heavy glass rapidly dulls the cutter wheels.

I wish I would have read these reviews first

Would Not Recommend

I followed those videos as well as the directions of the cutter, including using turpentine as a cutting oil. I noticed from the first cut that I didn't hear the same scratch sound as I heard in the videos and that everyone said is the sound you hear when you know you're made a good score. But I made the score, I went to make the break and the only thing that separated was a...
