Fiskars ShapeCutter, Shape cutter, For Cutting Out Patterns, 1003876

Really good quality and very easy to use. Spare blades are provided and while you can cut shapes freehand with this, there are stencils and other guides that can be purchased for use with this item. In the past I've used a scalpel and relied on a steady hand to cut shapes out of paper and card. This makes it so much easier that I feel rather foolish for using the scalpel for all those years. This is definitely a better way. Unfortunately, cutting very small shapes with this is not so easy, as there is no way to support the paper/card while working on very small pieces. That however is a minor niggle considering how much time will be saved cutting out other shapes. All in all I have no regrets purchasing this item, and I expect to get many years of service out of it.

This is amazing. You just press down on whatever you want to cut out and 'draw' round it with the blade and it cuts it out perfectly (it takes a few practices to cut it to the edge). It's great for cutting images out of boxes and other difficult to cut material. I wouldn't recommend it for children though - I dropped it and picked it up and it sliced my finger. It has to be scalpel sharp though in order for it to cut.

Very handy for making the right shapes and sizes, would like to say it works perfectly with the cutter, but fiskars cutter blades (even brand new ones I bought) don't just 'cut' but tear.. but this template is perfect for what it's made for, and the extra edges are an added bonus..

As described. Very easy to make or cut circles. It is made of good quality plastic and it feels durable. 7 types of circles in different sizes. I do recommend

I tried with the Fiskars shape-cutter, I really did! This template was the one where I gave up. With the sharpest, newest blade, and the perfect cutting depth set on the shape-cutter, these stars still turned out uneven. The template would be fine if the system itself worked as designed, but that little blade in the shape-cutter rarely turns properly. Every star I cut looked different. The curvature of the edge going out to the point was different to the curvature coming back into the middle.

Superb sturdy product.I have just started painting miniatures, and am using this as a guide for oval and round framing.Excellent quality

Yery useful

This product was absolutely fine but I was expecting the hearts to be smaller as I make jewellery and all of them were too big. Otherwise arrived on time and good quality product.
