After reading the reviews I was hesitant to order. My problem when using this is more the jar than the setter. If the jar is a loose fit you need to make sure you have the setter in the center, sometimes the same type of jar is tight, same thing, you need to make sure it is center. Every once in a while I have to remove the wick because it isn't in the center but I am sure it is because I didn't have the setter centered when I pressed down. This is a game changer for me, I have been using it for a couple years now and if something happened to it I would buy another one.

I didn’t expect much when I bought this after seeing the not so great reviews. However, I got it today and used it and wow! This device is life changing for me. I have arthritis so I spend way too much time on wicks. Maybe for others this device isn’t that big of a help, I don’t know. But for me, it makes all the difference in the world. Also it states the jar sizes it works with so I made sure it would work with mine beforehand. Well worth the money for me.

I wish I’d read the many reviews advising that this won’t work on hand blown jars like Libbey, and I would suggest that the product description be updated accordingly. While the Libbey jars are my go-to, I have dozens of 8oz and 16oz mason jars that I have never been able to wick properly myself, even using a template, and the wick setter gives me a perfectly centered result every time. It does what it promises and I found it very easy to set up and use. Would I have purchased it if I knew it didn’t work on the Libbey jars? No. Am I pleased with its performance on my other jars? Absolutely.

I am new to candle making. Brand new. I read a lot of the reviews. Always somebody not happy with something. I made the decision to purchase both of them. I love them, both of them. They work just fine for me. I have no issues at all. Set my wicks just fine and centered. Gosh if you break the glass more than likely your doing something wrong or applying way to much pressure. I highly recommend them. Use them properly and they will work just fine. They will put a smile on your face and make you a happy candle maker and not a grumpy old complainer.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews on this about breaking jars. I decided to get it and put it to the test, well, I agree with one reviewer, you are being way too aggressive with it. I used some test jars I got at the dollar store plus some extra from here at CS and when I pushed down too hard the jars would break. If I slammed my palm down on it the jars would break, and if I didn't adjust the height like stated in the description they would either break or crack. It is not a perfect tool but it does work and centers perfectly on some jars/vessels but it does work. My advice, stop being so aggressive with it a simple height adjustment and a gentle tap/push will work, no need to slap it down or use your palm to hammer it down. The jars I used were medium thickness to really thin for my break test.
