Paie tools at M1
Which edge cutter?
The stainless cutter with pink handles has a quick-change blade that the pack says needs no tools. The all-stainless cutter has no plastic parts. The plastic-body cutters weigh 46 g and are the lightest in the hand. The Triple Cut adds a Nail Dial with six cutting guides.
Which tweezers?
Choose curved tips when you want your hand out of the line of sight, and straight tips for a direct, pen-like grip. The letters A to D are the tip styles printed on the cards; A is the short tip and B the long tip in the curved range. The sticker tweezers are a longer 15 cm tool for lifting and laying stickers and decals.
