the ball on the end of the tool is for tapping along the line that you just scored! it's not for breaking the glass off. tapping along the line you score helps create micro cracks along the line so you can ensure it will break evenly! super useful tip

well yes, but... it shows that MrDiyDork doesn't know what he's talking about here! He's very long winded, and we don't need to know, for example 4:41 that "a lot of people will just take it in their hands..." We don't need to know the wrong way to do it. It sounds like a "strawman fallacy" anyways. Who are these "a lot of people"? Are you really looking up the statistics, or going out doing research on how many people incorrectly break glass after cutting? No, you didn't! And if a simple demonstration without the verbiage seems like it would be too short for a video, you could do third, fourth, fifth and sixth cuts, etc., being more leisurely, making jokes about unfashionable eye glasses or whatever extraneous information you want to share, as you continue to make cuts. This video is all dork, very little DIY!

@@squirlmy geez, who pissed in your cereal? The video's fine, for people who never did it and it feels intimidating the easy going nature of the video helps to make the whole thing less scary. The comment above politely added additional info that's useful, you're just hating.

Agreed that the dowel works wonderfully. I had a 6.75"x8.75" piece that I had to cut down to 6"x8". Setting it up on a small dowel gave me a nice clean line, and I got it done with the first attempt.

I took a small chunk out just above my wrist two days ago doing the score and snap method with your hands. Be very careful with that way folks, if youre a noob like me and trying to snap a small bit of glass, absolutely do NOT bend your wrist and put your body weight on it. If it had cut me a quarter inch deeper or lower...would of been bad. Edit: Thank you for this video! Much better instruction than the ones I watched before.
