Not sure. I bought this knipex punch because i own other knipex tools which i am very happy with. This one though is questionable to its sturdyness. My other hand punches i owned all eventually collapsed at the handles from applying 'to much' pressure for the build of the tool. I think this one will do the same if I tr...

First Time with Origami and I Love It. This is my first time using origami paper. I've always wanted to try origami and now that my daughter is old enough to try some basic shapes (she's 7), I thought it would be fun to learn how to do this together. Plus, I needed something to help me wind down after a busy day and is...

I know why it smells like smoke. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I ordered three pounds of this product to use in a wax bath (crockpot) as a warming therapy for my hands. I had read the reviews and had not pieced together the smell thing until the product arrived. Before I unpacked the product from the box it was deliv...

Really good tape. This is really great double sided tape for craft projects. It has a strong bond and the paper is easy to peel off when you are ready to use the second side. I like that you can tear it with your fingers if your scissors aren't handy. I hate how once you open a spool of ribbon it will no longer stay wo...

Another great set from Allydrew. These are absolutely beautiful, adorable, absolutely stunning and perfect for my tween daughter's craft ambitions.

What a HOOT. This is one of my favorite of the paper animation kits from The House of Flying Pigs. Though it is currently unavailable from Amizon.com, it is worth your while to try to find it elsewhere. Making the model teaches one about mechanics, and is very entertaining.

What you want when you gotta cut a lot. Nothing's worse than not having the right tools for the job. That's why if cutting things precisely is important to a craft or hobby, you reach for Fiskars.

Best bang for the buck on Amazon. This is a great bang for your buck purchase right here. I had not touched a woodburner to a piece of wood in almost 20 years, since my early teen years. I decided to get back into it, so I scoured Amazon for a burner with a good amount of wattage (if you use harder woods like oak, you ...

cooks a little fast and a little dry. My experience with this silicone baking ware is that I have to make a small adjustment to the cooking temperature/time and to the recipe. Otherwise, things cook a little too fast, and come out just a little dry. I found this over some bit of experimenting. Now I add just a touch m...

Meh on the scissors - great customer service. They're scissors and they cut, which is what I expected. They don't cut plastic packaging very well, though. You get 5 of them, which is nice.

Good all purpose scissors that work well for lefties. The Scotch Precision Ultra Edge nonstick scissors are a good choice to have on hand for general everyday use.

Worth the price, not the best quality. I ordered these pipe cleaners specifically for the Pax 2 Vaporizer.

It could have been better. The screw kept loosening up. Pulley manufactures almost always use two set screws to keep the pulleys from loosening up.

Hard to punch . This is OK -- it's exactly the size/shape I needed, but it's VERY difficult to punch if you're using anything heavier than thin paper.

Super hefty, solid, and can put up with a ton of use. I've paid 50% more for heavy duty hole punches at Staples, and they weren't as solid as this one. We use these at work daily, and we abuse the heck out of them. This particular one did not disappoint at all. It is REALLY solid - you can feel that in the weight of i...

3.5 ounces max. Be aware that this ball winder only holds 3.5 ounces of yarn! Most of the bulky yarn skeins are 5 ounces or more; the one I tested the ball winder on was 5.3 ounces (Lion Brand Scarfie). Probably everyone else buying these things for the first time knows to look for the maximum number of ounces it will ...

If you ask me what I smoke, I would honestly. I do love my pipes but I don't like the occasional bitterness. So, if you were to ask me what I smoke, I would honestly tell you wooden matches, followed by a couple of pipe cleaners.

Apparently this has slipped the attention of all the manufactures of these types of heaters (over time and exposure to this kind of extreme heat, causes malfu...

Seem like nice beginner tools, to a beginner. I am new to woodcarving and these seemed like a nice balance of cost for performance/variety of carving tools for me to begin with. I had seen that a lot of carvers favor the ball-end hand carving tools to more of the palm-push carving technique, where as the shape of these...

This is not a toy and may prove to be a lot more fun than any toy you have in mind. Schacht produces many professional loans and as you can see put great thought into this bas...

Great tool for an affordable price. I have been doing woodburning since 6th grade (When time was young and dinosaurs ruled the earth) I can't count the number of burns I have gotten, and how much stuff I accidentally melted. My present wood burner was one of those deals with the cork handgrip that was both unwieldy and...

Great for beginners and simple molding projects. This stuff is perfect for beginners experimenting with molding plastic. It only takes minutes to heat up enough to mold and stays that way for several minutes. The little white pellets go from white to transparent, and they get really sticky (only to themselves, not to t...
