Prediction: Unlikely to succeed
I saw this item pitched live years ago at a home show, and I really liked the demos. Then I thought long and hard about how to build a rationale for the mass market and came up blank. The average Joe just doesn't cut tile or glass that often. That makes this a specialty tool, and those are hard to make work on DRTV.
As for the commercial, there's a lot to like. Sully keeps it true to the original pitch, and I liked the touch of having the proverbial 'little old lady' do the squeeze demo.
