My Review

 

This tool is ideal for all types of foiling projects. I own and regularly use 2 Glass

Foiler's, which gives me, direct access to 4-rolls of foil. I keep both mounted side by side on a small piece of wood, and clamp them to my workbench when

needed. Afterwards they are put up and out of the way. Perfect for shops where

Real-estate space may impose problems. There is a slight learning curve before you fully adapt to the tool, but well worth the savings of time, you'll gain back later on. The main function of this tool is to wrap foil onto glass, which it does effortlessly. The machine splits off the paper liner from the foil, while centering the foil on your glass using its alignment wheels. The tool even partially crimps the foil onto the glass. The Glass Foiler comes with 3 sizes of wheels for different widths of foil. With proper care, this machine will last quite awhile. I have been using mine commercially for about 8 years and counting. I have checked around and for around $30.00 ( + or - ) you can buy this really worthwhile tool, complete with a 1-year manufacture's warranty.
