After procrastinating for a while and battling on with my old tools I finally bought the big clinker. I'm actually really amazed at how good it is!

When I posted the link last week it was 109.99 and I decided I didn't really want to pay that so battled on with my cheapskate cutting methods. But then yesterday I saw that it had been reduced to 79.99 so bit the bullet and went for it.

I'm most surprised at how little pressure you need to apply, both with scoring and with snapping. It's effortless and leaves a really crisp cut line. Up until yesterday I was scoring HARD multiple times with a scribe and then snapping with an old cheap cutter I had, trying to apply hard but controlled pressure until I could see the line appearing down the score. I only had one casualty but it was a right pain.

Anyway. Thanks for the recommendations. Amazing how much easier things are if you have the proper tools. Whoda thought it?

Nope nothing! So it's like it didn't exist!
But then I wasn't watching the screen to be honest. So don't know if a like registered then was just removed.
So they probably wouldn't notice unless they either watched the like count meticulously or looked through their likes regularly
Hmmmmmm haha
