Spellbinders n One Multi-Purpose Craft Tool, Blue (T-001)

I just started to do a lot of intricate die cutting with my Cuttlebug. I bought a lot of new dies by Crafter's Companion that were extremely intricate with a LOT of tiny little pieces. Every time I made a cut, it would take me 3-5minutes to clean it up. If I need to use the same dies multiple times, the card making process takes forever making the point of using the Cuttlebug vs. the Explore moot. Anyways, THIS makes life SOOOO much easier. It takes me less than a minute to brush the extra pieces off.This feels like a sturdy tool. The brush is firm, making it effective in pushing the pieces out. It is a bit harder to clean up the tine pieces with the tiny holes so the sharp point works well. I havent't needed to used the spatula yet so I cannot comment on it's use but it's a hard sturdy plastic so I'm sure it will be fine.I have 2 minor complaints which is why I gave it a 4 star. 1st-Cleaning: You can hold the die and clean it over a trash can but for some of the really intricate dies that's really in there, it will not work. This is suppose to be used with a Foam piece where you can lay the die on it and brush against it for added pressure to remove the pieces but it IS NOT included which is a bummer. I made do with a foam block I had (phew). 2nd- The brush. I've had the brush fall off a few times with is a bit frustrating. It's easy to pop back in but it's annoying to have to do consistently.Other than my 2 complaints, I like it.

I do a lot of intricate die cutting with dies that have literally tons of tiny debris pieces left from the cutting. The dies can get stuck on the paper or the paper will tear when trying to pull the die away. This is both annoying and time consuming, as ruining the die cut you are trying to create and having to rerun the die through the machine (I don't even want to talk about the paper that is wasted in trying to do this without a tool!). This tool makes the process a whole lot easier. Simply run the die through the machine and then place the die that is still attached to the paper on either a piece of foam or a sturdy surface (I use my craft mat when I misplace my foam pad from the sizzix one I bought). FYI, I tried the Sizzix version, but it did not have the pick on the end and it is a crucial element and if you are like me, you do not need one more thing to try to find on your craft table while you are working. To me, this should be on a list of essentials for first time die cutting crafters. It truly has saved me hours and a lot of frustration. Happy crafting!

Very cumbersome and awkward to use.

This tool is worth its weight in gold! I own quite a few intricate edged dies and was at my wits end trying to clean out the dies of all the little itty bitty pieces of card stock let alone trying to get the card stock out of the die to begin with. I bought the foam sheets that go in the dies for easy removal and that ended in disaster- the foam got stuck and my pokey tool got all gunked up with the adhesive from the foam. Now its easy breezy with an unused dryer sheet and my new favorite tool the SPELLBINDERS CRAFT TOOL N' ONE. I rub a dryer sheet real good into my die, cut out card stock and any pieces left over in the die is removed in a jiffy with the roller brush. I had dies that I used and was so frustrated with all the stuck on bits that I left the dies for another time to be cleaned since the only way was to sit there forever poking out bit by bit with a pokey tool. Not anymore. I love this tool.Word of advice and word of caution: keep the plastic tube-like covering on the metal pokey tool end when not in use. Its extremely sharp which is perfect to remove those very tiny bits but is even better when a starter hole is needed for brads and other embellishments.

If you are on the fence about a tool like this, do not wait any longer!The Spellbinders Tool n One is the only tool you will need if you love those intricate dies. I watched the Youtube video on how it comes apart to store the extra pick so this is something I would recommend. The brushes are best used when the paper is still on the die. I roll the brush over the die side and almost everything comes apart.No longer will I angst over whether I use the detailed die or not.Love this! Buy It!

I didn't think I needed this. It's been out for years, and I always said I didn't need it. And then my dies got more and more detailed with lots of pieces resulting from a single pass through the machine. And sometimes it was time consuming to punch all those little pieces out. I decided to give this a try and it's *really* good at what it does. Not only do my die cuts take a much shorter time to separate from the excess, it's easier to clean what's stuck in the dies, too. Really great product and I'm so glad I have one.

There are two reasons I am giving this item a four rather than five star rating.The first and main reason is that the product name is a bit of a misnomer in my opinion. To me a tool in one should not require another tool in order for it to work effectively. Without the foam sheet - sold separately - this tool is relatively ineffective. Fortunately with a little experimenting with foam sheets I already owned I discovered that my Coluzzle foam sheet substituted admirably for the task.The other issue I found is that many of my dies have tiny tiny holes that prove a challenge for this tool. However I admit that perhaps this problem may prove not to be an issue if I did purchase the foam sheet designed specifically for this tool.All that being said I am very pleased with how much easier the tasks of cleaning my dies is using this tool and would recommend it to others. I, unlike other reviewers, found it easy to change tool parts and to store the extra parts inside the body of the tool.

Does what it is supposed and does it well. :)

I love this handy tool, very useful as it’s so helpful for die cut, precise position and getting small dies out. Also good for cleaning the dies. I really enjoy using it for my crafts.

Love this tool. Very handy

I love this Craft Tool N One. A must for card makers and working with paper art. It quickly cleans the die with the brush end and it is easy to flip over and use the paper poke for intricate dies.

It does all it’s supposed to do. Great asset in the craft room
