Steel blade with no sharp edges.

Steel blade with no sharp edges to swiftly saw cardboard, not fingers.

Best of all, the cut edge of the cardboard is softened to eliminate those pesky cardboard paper cuts. We don’t call it the Safe-Saw for nothing!

How to use the Safe-Saw:
Reverse the tool to punch holes as a cutting guide-line if you need.
The graded serrations allow you to easily saw any thickness of cardboard with a forward and backwards motion.

    We have all the tools

    Finally an alternative to ruining my bread knives! The screw stabber on the end also means less messing around swapping tools. Love it.

    FYI this cubby and tunnel used less than half a box of screws and is so sturdy.

    Love it!

    This is great quality and I feel safe using it myself and with my son since the blades are not sharp to touch. Thanks for making it easier to create my son’s Halloween costume!
