The season when craft lovers such as Christmas cards and New Year's cards ring. However, masking tape, which is indispensable for decoration, is difficult to cut cleanly by hand, and it is troublesome to cut it with scissors one by one, isn't it?
We have introduced
various tape cutters before, but KOKUYO has introduced an epoch-making item that makes you want to shout
"I wanted this!". This is a new clip-type product released in November from the tape cutter "Calcut" series. It features a minimal structure with a unique "calcut blade" that "cuts with a light force" on one side of the clip.
There are two sizes. Can also be used for wide tapes that are often used these days
There is a blade on one side of the clip
To use it, just pinch it with your fingers, open the clip, and pinch it with masking tape. When I cut it with the same feeling as I usually tear it by hand, I was fascinated by the straight cut.
Sandwiched with masking tape
Just cut it like a twist. light!
Although it has some jaggedness compared to cutting with scissors, it seems that you can work efficiently even when you want to cut continuously and quickly or when you use multiple masking tapes.

It's small and convenient to carry around, so why not prepare more than one? The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 360 yen for tape widths of 10 to 15 mm and 380 yen for 20 to 25 mm widths (both tax excluded). Please note that it is for small roll tape and may not be usable depending on the type of tape.
