As others mentioned already this is a nice set to get you or a new student started. We made a few small sun catchers and only needed a few additional items. The set has a nice variety of tools and a few things that wouldn’t normally make my “must have” list but have been Nice to have on hand.That said, the quality is good but a few items are not top shelf. This may not be the last tool you buy and I could see someone starting out becoming frustrated by a few things. I don’t think this would deter me from purchasing the kit, just something to remember if you don’t have a local shop or class to get your hands on other tools snd try them out. The value is great based on the price at the time of this review. Individually, these would cost significantly more.I’m glad I found this set and would definitely recommend it for hobbyists or anyone starting out with glass.

I have been wanting to try making stained glass for years. I was fascinated with it in high school after reading a book that featured lots of cathedral windows and I did get into the painted stained glass crafts and making the melted crystal type of suncatchers that you make in the oven... but I never made REAL stained glass projects.I was a bit impulsive and couldn't resist grabbing this to try without planning ahead for WHERE I would setup my glass making station. Right now my TINY office/craft space is set up for resin and sublimation and I need to pull everything out and rearrange to accommodate more crafts. I have shelves and new work surfaces ready to go in as soon as I pull everything out. As such, for the moment my review is on the appearance of the tools and supplies.My box was well packaged with lots of padding to keep the items from damaging each other. The grinder plugs in without issue and it turns on. The pliers and glass cutters all have a good weight and hand feel to them and they don't look or feel cheap.The soldering iron is pretty basic but it does have the advanced features of having an on/off switch on the cord as well as buttons to raise and lower the temperature. My soldering iron plugs in without issue and turns on as expected.The copper tape that I received is nicely spooled and looks clean. The gloves, goggles, and finger cots are basic but good quality. I currently have no complaints.I will update on functionality after I get my crafting space setup. I have ordered glass and scalloped edge tape and a few other supplies to go along with this and am very excited to give making proper stained glass projects a try.

This stained glass kit comes with a large selection of tools. I wanted to try adding a bit of stained glass to my jewelry products. You get cutters, breakers, running pliers, and a soldering iron. You get a grinder with bits, goggles, gloves and lots more. This set works great for what I want to do and I recommend it.

This was a gift to my adult daughter. She is already an accomplished artist and is branching out to stain glass. I was at first startled by the high priced. But then I found out this kit has all the tools she needs except the respirator.. The solder that is used to bind the gass pieces together has lead in it so when heating protection is needed or superior ventilation.. She went to the local hobby store and the man there went thru all the tools she needs to gt going and the man said her tools were high quality. The only thing that was missing was a very fine glass trimming tool. She was very happy with the kit so I am also very happy my money was not wasted. It does not come with any glass.

Got this as a gift for my fiance. Kit didn’t come with flux/brushes. Copper tape, solder, and soldering iron are worthless. Purchased this $400 kit to avoid unexpected extra expenses and they continue to pop up as we try to work with these materials. The hand tools and grinder appear to be of some sort of quality. All in all, I really regret this purchase. I would recommend buying high quality pieces individually elsewhere. It will be a cheaper, nicer rig in the end.
