I bought this to repair a picture to get the broken glass out and it worked like a charm. Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cut the line
*by H***Y on April 27, 2025*

Dont cut glass often and couldn't find my old cutter. This old style cutter did the trick for several cuts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works
*by M***Y on November 7, 2024*

It's a standard glass cutter. Works the same as all other like it. However, i have you say that I always hated using these, because of the pressure needed to score glass. It hurts my hands
