Overview
At $9.90, the Glass B001-1 cutter weighs just 1.44 ounces, the only published spec for this tool. That featherlight build keeps hand fatigue low during repeated scoring passes on thin or medium-weight glass. Its 4.2-star rating from 260 owners places it in solidly acceptable territory for a budget glass-scoring tool, and 100 units sold last month confirms consistent, if modest, demand.
The listing does not publish details on wheel material, handle grip type, or oil reservoir presence, so buyers looking for a carbide-wheel or self-oiling mechanism should verify before ordering. At this price point, the B001-1 is positioned as an accessible entry tool rather than a precision trade instrument.
For craft glass projects, small home repairs involving single-pane glass, or occasional stained-glass hobby work, the B001-1 covers the basics at minimal cost. Professionals who score large runs of glass daily will benefit from a heavier, self-oiling cutter with a published carbide-wheel specification.

Performance notes
The only published specification is a weight of 1.44 ounces, confirming a compact, lightweight build. Glass cutters in this class typically use a hardened steel or tungsten carbide wheel on a thin metal or plastic body. No wheel diameter, handle grip description, or oil-channel detail is provided in the listing specs.
What buyers say
Owners tend to praise the light weight and ease of use for basic glass scoring tasks. The most frequent complaints involve durability of the wheel and the lack of a built-in oiling reservoir, which some buyers expected at this price.
Does the Glass B001-1 have a self-oiling reservoir?
The listing does not specify an oil reservoir. Many entry-level glass cutters require the user to dip the wheel in cutting oil separately. Verify with the current listing before purchase.
What thickness of glass can the B001-1 score?
No glass thickness or cutting capacity is published in the specs. Based on the price and weight, owners report it working on standard single-pane and thin art glass, but confirm with the current listing.
