I apologized on the phone to Les, his email (below) got stuck in the
transition from the old <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.glassblower.info">www.glassblower.info</a> server and the new
redundant Dell server.<br>
<br>
If you would like to comment on Les' tool question, you can email the
PA-NJ list, or directly to him...<br>
(I did give him my thoughts about his tools question when I spoke to
him)<br>

<pre wrap="">Good morning list,
I'm finding upon researching tools, for instance diamond shears, that the price is all over the place, from $99 to well over $200. Cutting Edge was suggested to me for an excellent long lasting shear. However at the high end of the scale is a bit prohibitive.
My question; Are there any particular brands that I should steer clear because of quality? Or perhaps I should ask, which brands should I favor so as not to flame someones product.
As I've said before I'm a beginner and more or a weekend hobbyist. Should I even worry with getting my own tools at this point?
Thanks in advance,
Les
