Hi Matt,
Here is all my favorite stuff:
Glass cutter: Toyo Thomas grip
Cutter oil: Inland "Rinses Off"
Breaking Pliers: Knipex, but at 4 times the price of a generic pliers you may not appreciate the difference
Grinder: Any Glastar machine is best for quality but for features you might look into DTI Diamond Max convertible
Soldering Iron: Hakko 456
Temperature control: Glastar, but at more than twice thr price of the inland mini phaser you may not appreciate the difference.
