User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars 7-pc Cricut tool Kit — ideal
I have a LOT of scrapping tools and materials. I like to pack them with their respecitive cases and not have to completely repack tools each time I want to take a specific bag or item to a crop. Plus — more importantly, I like it when things MATCH!

To my cricut carry bag Cricut 29-0111 Carrying Tote Bag ,

I add an adhesive Tombo Mono 40 FT Tape Runner Adhesive and some paper to my paper case Cricut Messenger Bagand this set of tools Cricut 29-0004 7-Piece Tool Kit for Cricut Cutting Machines and it’s all I “NEED” to go cropping and make very efficient use of my Cricut.

It’s not perfect, it doesnt’ contain EVERYTHING — but it has the essentials.

The scissor is sharp and fine — but also short. The case also has space for extra Cricut blades in their commercial tube — convenient. The rubber/plastic/metal boning tool is very effective. The scraper is also pretty good for remove larger things from the sticky mat. I have used the other tools for remove smaller paper from the mat and starting holes for whichever rivet set I have with me.

My only complaint (ergo 4 stars instead of 5) is that the slot for the transparant ruler (which you can barely see in the photo) is a little too big.

Perhaps they fashioned it that way so that the ruler would not get “stuck” in the case.

But it appears that their alternative is that it falls out of place when the case is zipped and mobile.

Obviously it doesn’t fall out of the case when it’s zipped – but it’s just a slightly “sloppy” aspect of the case. I would give it 4.5 stars but the Amazon.com rating system will not permit that.

5 Stars A must have for cricut users!
The kit is perfect for cricut users. A must have. It arrived in excellent condition, fast delivery. The price was great!

4 Stars for other crafts too
Even tho I purchased this tool kit to go with my Cricut, I’ve found that I use it more for other crafts as well; the bone folder, scissors, scraper, ruler etc are all handy tools for various crafts. And there is just enough room in the case to put my Xacto knife and a small packet of blades to keep everything together.

4 Stars Not Too Bad…
I like this kit because it has everything you need in a tool kit for cutting vinyls and some. The tools seem slightly on the cheaper quality side because of all of the plastic and rubber used to make them, but I don’t think they’ll have any issue holding up in the long run. I also have a full sized 24″ cutter and I have to say that the scissors and the squeegee are completely worthless for vinyls of that size, but the tools were not designed for larger vinyls. They were made for the Cricut 12″ system. I looked everywhere for a tool kit and this was the ONLY complete set I could find in any craft store even online. Kudos to these people for doing something so simple that for some reason no other company could do…putting all of the tools we’d need in one kit. And at a decent $19 this kit gets 4 stars, manly because of the cheaper feel to the kit because they didn’t use all metal for the tools.

5 Stars I use mine a lot…
I received this as a Christmas present. I read the reviews on here and I couldn’t decide if this was something I really wanted but left it on my Christmas list. Someone grabbed it for me and I couldn’t be happier with it! Honestly I think it depends on the cartridges and the size of your cut outs that you use as to whether you will get use out of this. I use it a lot with puppy pals. The tools help with getting the scrap paper off the mat from the intricate cut outs. I will say I haven’t used all of the tools yet and probably won’t I think it would benefit cricut to make them more available individually then in a set. Otherwise, I would recommend these tools for anyone doing intricate cutting.

Update: 05/02/08 Since I wrote this review I have accumulated about 11 carts. And I still stand by this review. My fave tool is still the spatchula which you have to purchase separately. I use the other tools a lot with Accent Essentials, and Home Accents oo also Jasmine. For small cuts these tools work like a champ! My only complaint is a general complaint about Cricut. Cricut thinks their products are gold. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE my bug and I use it regularly. But I think their products are way over priced.. So I would look to buy this when its on sale.. That’s when its a real deal.
