REVIEW: Trimeasy Wallpaper Trimmer

Gets upset easily this bloke, don't he.

/upset/ ? so, you can review tools which you haven't actually used /and/ discern the gender of the author *and* the intended tone of the content of basic text just by sitting there ?

please, elaborate. I've just had a few beers and watched 'how shatner changed the world' and, TBF, I didn't see you on the prog !! LOL

Oooh Err Missus, now THAT'S a typo!!

Sex. You mean sex, old boy, not "gender".

I've never seen so many 404s on one page...

Umm No, a perfectly valid and reasoned comment. It is a glorified Stanley Knife.

If he hasn't, I have and it's still a glorified Stanley Knife.

I think he was trying to tell you it's a glorified Stanley Knife.

HTH

[Dave Plowman (News)]

It's nothing like a knife.

[EricP]

You didn't pick on Raden like you picked on me! You just mumbled at him when he said this!

Armature you're right...

I've got one of these two pin perforators lying around somewhere from years ago. IIRC doesn't get right into corners, and you don't konw whether it's punched the holes properly till you start to tear the paper. I don't say it's useless but it's one of those tools that somehow never gets used. This is what I use >

<based on a recommendation on here back in 1999. A search for "wallpaper knife curved" brings it up if anyone's interested

mine does, apart from about 2mm which I hold down with a scalpel when I come to the end of the perforation.

that is one of the imperfections I noticed but I put that down to the gap behind the paper increasing slightly, causing the perforations to be less well defined. after occasion 2, I learned not to blindly tug at the strip and keep an eye on the perforations. I haven't had that particular problem since.

eh ? do you do papering every day ? how often did you expect to use it ?

I have a few opinel knives but I wouldn't use them for wallpapering, sharp as they are they're not as sharp as a scalpel.

[Stuart Noble]

I expected to use it whenever I did papering, and I don't.

The important thing is that, being soft, they can be *kept* sharp given that plaster will blunt any edge in a few seconds.

The message from Andy Hall contains these words:

Not bad, for an ammeter.

I find those 10 for a quid extensible knives with a dozen or so snap off segments are good for the job, they're nice and thin so you can get right in the corner at a nice low angle and you can snap off the cutting tip at the first hint of bluntness to avoid snagging, that works out about £1 for 120 blades.

I'm fed up of all these OP replies. Can we please stick to the current thread.

[Adrian C]

What's '

' all about?

[EricP]

Stop trying to ground the generation of ideas.

[The3rd Earl Of Derby]

Your supposed to say...

If it cuts into paper its a knife,might not have an edge but its still a glorified knife.

[EricP]

Couldn't be bothered. He can be pedantic on his own time, I have better things to do. :))
