This weeding tool does not have a large enough tip

This weeding tool is terrible. I've always used the Cricut brand but when mine went missing I didn't want to pay money for a new one so I saw these and decided to give it a try. This weeding tool does not have enough points for my weeding. Very disappointed

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Negative is present

They are stupid and make the selection difficult and time consuming.

I usually use toothpicks to pick my vinyl but decided to give these a try as they were designed for vinyl picking but are more valuable to the knitter. They are boring and make vinyl selection difficult and time consuming. I had to take a nail file and file the tip at an angle to get it sharp. After this modification, it also works the way I like it. When things get boring again I just use the nail file to adjust the sharpness and it works for me! Just select and move fast!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Neutral

The tip is wider than a ballpoint pen and is blunt

My husband owns and operates a professional vinyl cutting business. He complained that his hands gnawed at the protrusions on every metal dental instrument he used. (Dental tools are properly angled and have a sharp point that easily picks up the vinyl it's removing.) I was excited when I found this as it has a comfortable grip. Unfortunately it is useless. The tip is wider than a ballpoint pen and blunt. I sent it back the same day. We're still looking for a sharp tool that won't eat fingers…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Fair

The tip on the hook is very blunt making it almost unusable

This is the third Silhouette hook I've bought, only because I bent the first two out of shape to use them for purposes other than to use those for which they were intended. I am very disappointed with this last one I bought. The tip of the hook is very blunt making it difficult to pierce the vinyl so you can pull it out while weeding. The handle on this hook is white while my previous hooks were black so maybe they make them that way now. If so I will stop buying Silhouette hooks and will find…

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • Secret

This simple device saves nerves, time and nerves. I work with vinyl and some of the more subtle work drove me crazy. I was already starting to drop the more complicated designs when the HOOK caught my eye. I've seen this before when I first bought my car but figured it was just another "add-on, c'mon" for crafting fanatics. I figured I probably had something at home that could replace the "expensive needle". I was terribly mistaken. The handle is comfortable to hold and reduces hand fatigue…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Comfortable and incredibly durable

I can't believe I've been using anything else all this time. I run a print shop and clean sheet by sheet of vinyl every day. I've used everything from cheaper metal picks to dental tools with decent success and have never wanted to spend money on what I thought was a useless "official" Silhouette hook, but this thing really is a game changer. a bit too curved to be comfortable with vinyl so I used needle nose pliers to straighten the curve a bit. It now resembles an "L" more than a question…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • alt

Poor quality silhouette hook. blunt point and awkward angle

I have the original Silhouette rectangular rubber hook, it's a well made tool that makes my vinyl cleaning job very easy and satisfying. can't live without. I need a second one so I can do small jobs right in front of my computer as I kept the original in my workshop where I usually work on a larger project. This new Silhouette hook I received from Revain has a new design. The handle is round and mostly made of plastic, with only a small part covered in gray rubber for the hands. Compared to…

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
