Daiso "Clip Type Masking Tape Cutter"

It is convenient to attach it to the masking tape that you often use! I would like to introduce a new product of a masking tape cutter on Daiso. It looks exactly like an item from a certain stationery maker, but the cost performance of 100 yen (excluding tax) for 2 pieces is amazing.

"Clip type masking tape cutter" is a tape cutter that integrates a clip and a resin blade. It can be used for masking tape with a tape width of 30 mm or less and a thickness from the outer diameter to the inner diameter of 11 mm or less.

The end of the clip is a blade

To use it, just open the clip, pinch it between the tapes, hold the clip firmly with one hand, and twist the tape.

The clip has two types of blades on both ends, and can be used properly with "straight" and "jagged" cuts. The straight one has some irregularities compared to ordinary scissors, but the cut is quite straight. The jagged blade is a little worrisome when cutting, but the cut edge with a sense of craft is cute.

How is it different from "Calcut"?

By the way, this product looks exactly like the clip-type masking tape cutter sold by Kokuyo's "Calcut" series. Comparing the usability, I got the impression that Calcut, which has a special metal blade and high clipping force, is still sharper. However, I wonder if Daiso is almost inferior in terms of cuts.

In addition, Daiso's cutter has a wide range of tapes that can be used, so it can be replaced without thinking deeply, increasing its versatility. I didn't have the impression that it was "difficult to use", and I could buy two for 100 yen, so it seems to be a great deal!
