Stanley Wallpaper Edger 4 10 230

I'm a bit of a sucker for wallpaper cutting gadgets, tried loads, none of which work that well, always went back to the old score with scissors & cut method.Spotted this in B&Q this morning when I went in for some paste, by Stanley, under £3 so I thought I'd try one out - today's job being some wallpapering.Absolutely brilliant! Couldn't believe how good it was, fast, dead accurate, easy. Used it for top & bottom trimming, around sockets and best of all trimming a full length of paper into a corner.The nifty bit is that, as soon as it shows signs of tearing wet paper instead of cutting, you snap off the blade to get a new razor sharp edge. I hung 16 lengths of paper trimmed top & bottom, trimmed into three corners, cut around about 9 sockets, switches etc - and only snapped off the blade about 5 times.Best thing I've bought for ages.

You have clearly never used one of these gadgets, the cut around a socket is perfect - I defy anyone to tell the difference without removing the socket.

This achieves exactly the same thing. The base pushes the paper into the corner & the blade trims it. Much more accurate than the scissor method, which I've used for 25 years.

Its not a knife, its a trimmer.

OooH - the satisfaction of wallpapering and refitting switches and sockets after giving them a good clean and polish. I shudder at the thought of papering around them.
