Overview
Drawing this Fletcher cutter once along a straight edge scores the glass for a clean snap. The carbide wheel holds its edge longer, and the slim handle rests between the first and second fingers for control.
A simple, durable carbide cutter suits occasional home glass jobs. It has no oil reservoir, so the wheel needs a drop of oil by hand after each project.
Who it's for
Occasional repairs and framing projects suit a simple handheld cutter. Pros cutting heavy glass for hours will prefer a pistol grip with an oil feed.
Pros and cons
- Long life carbide wheel
- Light and slim
- Made in the USA
- Simple to learn
- No built-in oil reservoir
- Glass thickness range not listed
Performance notes
A single, light score from edge to edge gives the cleanest break, and going over the line again chips the glass. A lightly oiled wheel turns smoothly and lasts longer.
