Toyo Custom-Grip Supercutter - Glass Cutter - Assorted Colors

Easy to use it. The design is perfect. The cuts are good.

UPDATED REVIEW: I have now had this glass cutter for 11 months, and I dropped my rating down from a 5 to a 3. In the past I had never kept oil in any of my glass cutters, because most of them leaked. I added oil to this one, because of all the great reviews I read about this cutter. Well, today I went to use this cutter...which has been my new favorite for almost a year now, and it fell apart in my hand. All I did was grab it and try to put some pressure down on the tip. The middle section (called the adjustable saddle) actually broke apart, as did a piece of the top of the oil reservoir where the oil cap screws on. See additional pictures I just added for more information. Don't get me wrong, I still highly recommend this cutter, I just DO NOT recommend that you add any oil to the oil reservoir. Keep some in a little cup and dip it in it.Contacted manufacturer on 3-28-17 and they got back to me right away. Toyo is replacing this cutter at no cost to me. Fantastic customer service!One of my favorite glass cutters! I love how easy this is to use. It sits so easily in my hand and is very easy to cut glass with. Cuts like butter! Definitely recommend this cutter to anyone, especially anyone who has a hard time holding bigger cutters, because of carpal tunnel issues or pain in your fingers from arthritis.I had carpel tunnel release on both hands back in 2005 but I still have pain & numbness in my hand & fingers...which causes me to not be able to hold the bigger cutters well, or hold the other cutters in my hand in other ways. This cutter works wonders for the pain I experience in my hand. So glad I checked it out. Love mine!

I really like this cutter! It cuts very well, but I like the way it fits in the hand, and the stability of it. Everyone’s different but for me, I think it’s great.

This is a good glass cutter, as it makes it extremely easy to get the correct, consistent pressure required to cut various glasses. Now, it's not too hard to use a standard pencil grip cutter, but this relieves all strain from your fingers, and allows you to focus on getting good angles instead of trying to keep constant pressure while fighting fatigue. I can cut around 4 times as fast, because it is so much easier, and there is a lot more control. It's possible to guide this with a finger on your other hand, or just with a slight wrist motion --- which can't really be done well with other cutters, at least I've always had to move my whole body or arm to get good cuts. For smaller cuts/angles, the brass piece can be turned some 45 degrees to help guide the cutter, which is nice for doing things like circles.There is one small problem, and that is the grip positioning for the thumb/forefinger webbing. It's just not quite the right spot for me, and I find that it is either too close to the cutter, and my knuckles will be against the pivot, or it will be too far away, where I can not quite reach the textured metal grip near the tip. It's important to reach the tip, and keep it steady because it will rotate as you cut (also, you can rotate it to get a better cut). It really would have been much better if the brass/textured grip went up all the way to the black grip. I don't feel that we need a clear reservoir, and I would happily give that up for a better textured/weighted surface. Also, of every random color, I received pink. I knew that I would receive pink when ordering it, because that's just how these things turn out... so having brass to the handle would solve that problem also.

I love these particular Toyo cutters. I have severe osteoarthritis in my hands and can’t make a fist (grip) anymore. Stained glass keeps me grounded and sane so these are a lifesaver for me. They cut better and I have more control of every aspect of the cuts. Everyone would appreciate the ease of use and lack of hand fatigue with this Toyo cutter. BUY IT; TRY IT

Great cutter. I'm a beginner at glass cutting but I found this intuitive to use.

There's nothing wrong with this glass cutter per se - it does its job, and it cuts the glass. So, this review may really just end up personal preference and I think, a bit of a design flaw. The personal preference part? I like the control I feel with a pistol grip cutter. The head on this cutter moves a lot, more than my pistol grip cutter. I've read that pistol grips are better for newbies, so maybe I'm just a newbie at heart. But what I also feel made the head more difficult to control is that the black comfort handle also spins. So, while you're trying to score, you've got the head moving and the black handle moving, and I found it difficult to make precise cuts. Now to the design flaw part, imo, the black comfort handle isn't adjustable. It spins but it doesn't move up or down. So, if your hand doesn't fit just right where the handle is located, there's no way to change the position of the handle. I'm a taller woman so my hands are probably a bit bigger, and I found the handle was just a little too low. It just didn't fit in the right spot in my palm because of the length of my fingers. I would think this would be an even bigger issue for a man with bigger hands. (And hopefully, I explained that well.)

I’m new to mosaics. I had previously purchased a ‘hobby store’ brand cutter. It wasn’t working, I couldn’t understand why it wouldn’t score properly.Then I purchased this amazing cutter. Wow! It’s like night and day. I can easily score the glass without pressure, nor splintering or breaking the glass elsewhere. It is saving me money because I am no longer messing up the pieces I’m working on.I really like the grip. It saddles between the thumb and index finger so little pressure is needed.I’m truly happy I purchased this top notch product.
