I bought a cheap glass cutter from a flea market and it cost me a whole pane

Found this glass cutter at a swap meet in Phoenix for five bucks, thought I scored. The wheel looked okay, but it was duller than a butter knife. Tried to cut a simple 24x36 piece of clear float for a shed window, and it just scratched and chipped the edge. Ended up cracking the whole sheet halfway through the score. Wasted about forty dollars in glass and an hour of my Saturday. Ever have a tool fail so bad it just makes you laugh?

Ever try to use a cheap level that's more of a suggestion than a tool?

Always oil the wheel first, even on new cutters.
