If so, you ll want to check out Dahle s lineup of crafting tools. Dahle is a German company that is known for its high quality office machines and gadgets, so you can be confident you re getting the best tools available. To find out what Dahle has to offer you, the crafter, please continue reading.
* Card Maker and Trim Ruler. These two tools are rotary trimmers that make it fun and easy to create greeting cards, scrapbook items, and more. Both of these trimmers allow you to cut both straight lines and decorative patterns, and you can also score and perforate your paper with them. These trimmers are lightweight so you can tote them around and they have a 13 inch cutting length, so you can trim a lot of different items. Each trimmer has a built in cutting mat with self healing capabilities, as well as a ruler for easy measurement and three blade heads so you can choose whichever cutting pattern you want. You can cut up to three sheets of paper at once with these tools, so while they re not ideal for heavy duty cutting, you can still use them in your creative endeavors.
* Personal Trimmer Kit. The Dahle Personal Trimmer Kit offers a lot of the same features as the Card Maker and Trim Ruler. However, this trimmer is slightly more durable because the unit that is included is the Dahle Personal Rolling Trimmer 507. The 507 has a metal base for durability, but it s still light enough so it can be transported without a lot of effort. This kit includes four different blades to create straight, deckle, and wavy cuts. It can also perforate paper. The blades are encased in plastic, so you ll never feel the edge of the blade, and the blades are self sharpening, as well. The 507 has a cutting capacity of seven sheets and you can cut items up to 12.5 inches long with it.
* Vantage Cutting Mats. Protecting your work surface is important and there s no better way to do that than with a self healing cutting mat. Dahle manufactures Vantage cutting mats that are extremely long lasting, thanks to the five layers of plastic found in each mat. These mats heal themselves instantly, so you ll be able to use one for a long time. Vantage cutting mats are available in clear, black, and blue, and five different sizes, ranging from 9 x 12 to 36 x 48 , are available. Best of all, you can use both sides of the mat and each mat has a grid with both metric and standard measurements that can help you with measuring your project.
* Safety Edge. Sure, protecting your work surface is important, but safety is even more vital. When you re working with cutting utensils such as craft knives, it is very easy to accidentally hurt yourself. Luckily, Dahle has developed the Safety Edge tool that can make crafting safer. The Safety Edge helps keep your fingers away from the knife blade as you cut, and it s available in four lengths: 12 , 18 , 24 , and 36 . It has a rubber base to ensure that it stays where you need it and it also hangs up for easy storage when not in use.
Dahle has a lot of gadgets that are great for crafting. If you re into getting creative, consider purchasing a Dahle crafting tool today.
