**Toyo Comfort Grip Supercutter ** amzn.to/2i6Ex5X
The cutters I use all the time are made by Toyo. I personally prefer the pencil grip - called the Comfort Grip Supercutter - but others love the pistol grip - called a Pistol Grip SuperCutter. It’s all a matter of preference.
🔸It’s lighter and more comfortable than others I’ve tried and cuts down on cramp
🔸Lasts for ages, with replaceable head. I’ve had mine for years
🔸It has an ingenious pressure system for dispensing oil, which also enables you to gauge how much pressure you need to score a piece of glass
🔸Very good for general purpose and frequent use
**Hakko FX-601 Soldering Iron** amzn.to/2WtkB2M
The Queen of stained glass soldering irons, the Hakko FX-601. This ticks all the must-have and wish-list boxes. I waited quite a while to buy mine but now I absolutely love its heat retention, adaptability and lightness.
