Default Best stained glass cutter??

I have a Toyo pistol grip cutter but I can't find the darn thing anywhere, so I want to buy another cutter. I paid like $23 for it about 4 yrs ago. I have a cheap $3 one from the hardware store, but it's a pain to use.

Anyone know of a good hand tool glass cutter? I use it to cut my stained glass and Spectrum 96 sheets into 1/4" wide strips to make beads.

Hi Lisi,
Check this out... lots of cutters...

I have the toyo pistol grip, too but Jack (Pondracer) was just showing off the new grypon studio cutter he got the other day. It looked nice with cushy grip. If I still did a lot of stained glass, I'd be tempted. But I'm currently hooked on melting it instead. LOL!

I use a Fletcher pistol grip and love it. They have them at www.warner-criv.com for good prices.

They all seem about the same to me.

I like this one because it feels like a goldsmith metal engraver to me.
