If Snap-on made a glass cutter...
It would be just like this but red.This is a high quality metal bodied tool that works perfectly.Filled with generic mineral oil (Amazon Pantry 16oz), took a few minutes to prime, and it works. Meters just the right amount of oil, no leaky dripping mess like cheap cutters.I do back off the cap when using to allow the oil tank to vent, and close it when storing. I've heard people complain these leak, but mine doesn't leak a drop even laying flat in a toolbox. Just tighten the cap enough to let the o-ring seal when storing, and open it about 1/2 turn when using to allow the cap to vent (the cap's threads have a flat cut on them to allow air to pass).Note: Only tighten the cap until it just contacts the rubber, then maybe another 1/4 turn. Don't overtighten it, because there is no stop to keep you from damaging the O-ring, I suspect the people with "leakers" have damaged their O-ring by overtightening.This is a fine tool, with one very minor flaw (see below), and I highly recommend it. It works great for straight and art use, if you use it exclusively for cutting sheets, the "straight cut" head is interchangable, and could be swapped in when it's time to replace the wheel (a very long time from what the specs say, these don't wear out fast.I would also recommend that you replace the oil tank cap O-ring with a hard paper or plastic one (one could be punched out of a paper or plastic milk carton if you have a set of hollow punches or are patient with a #11 X-acto.The one MINOR Negative:The oil tank cap cap can be overtightened and as such can damage the O-ring, causing it to leak while stored. This IS a flaw in the design, there should be a mechanical stop in the threads to prevent you from crushing the O-ring. This is the only fault I can find with this tool, and I'm kind of a picky tool guy. Not worth taking a star in my estimation, but a Toyo could make a small change to the cap design and fix this issue easily. They already have a shoulder where the threads meet the knob, they just need to extend it to stop the cap from threading in so far. If they changed that one dimension on the drawing, the leak issue would be fixed (or change the seal from an O-ring to a paper hard flat washer (the red fish paper style or similar) that would tolerate the hard tightening.An expedient solution is suggested above.Great tool, this is the one, a long term keeper glass cutter. A little pricey, but: Buy once, Cry once.

Prefect for running a straight
The nice thing about this cutter is it has no nubbins on the sides. This makes it great for running it along a ruler. Good stuff
