We R Memory Keepers Hand Tools - Ribbon Cutter

I bought both the ribbon cutter and washi chopper from this brand, so have reviewed both.Ribbon Cutter:I have had this little gadget for several months now and am really pleased with it (given 5 stars). It cuts ribbons beautifully and is so easy to use. Really nice size and a cute looking gadget.You really need to follow the instructions though to prevent ribbons sticking to the wire. I have only had this happen once (I think I left it too long in the cutter). However, I was able to remove when the wire got hot again, so I could remove the traces of melted ribbon from the wire.Washi Chomper:I was unable to review this separately. I would rate this 4 stars. Initially I was quite disappointed as it cut unevenly (one part of the banner was longer on one side than the other). There seemed to be an issue getting the tape centred in the machine, as even when centred against the guide it would cut unevenly. I discovered by accident the problem (in case anyone else is having the same issue) and it was caused by the tab which holds the blade not being fully pushed in (there was a little gap). This then resolved the uneven cutting. I think this is a bit of a design flaw as can come loose a little when using. I just make sure it’s in the correct pushed in place before cutting and have had no further issues.Quite a useful gadget as can cut thin card too so great if you want to make banners for your cards.

I've had this for nearly two years & I love it.It cuts synthetic ribbon & seals the edges.The trick is to listen for the "twang" sound then immediately lift the lid & remove the cut ribbon or it will stick to the wire. A little practice will get you used to where it cuts. I've not had a problem & it has saved me a lot of ribbon. It creates a very neat & professional finish.

Good idea and when it worked first few times it worked well however after first 2 or 3 cuts it just destroyed the ribbon, everything got stuck to the cutting wire and then turned its self off. Great idea and did work well for first couple of cuts but now its just very time consuming for the end result. Very disappointed overall.

It’s good does the job

Cracking little tool… perfect sealed cuts everytime.Highly Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Item worked OK first couple of times, then it didn't cut the ribbon, then the ribbon stuck to the inner heated wire and the wire broke off! Have tried without any luck to get replacement wires but they are not sold in the UK! So now have an expensive useless ribbon cutter 🙄😖

I was sceptical when I read the reviews, but I thought I'd give it a go and I am so glad I did.Honestly, we are a small business where Satin Ribbon plays a big part, Hot cutting isn't in our budget right now but we are perfectionists and I wouldn't be reviewing this if I didn't think it was good enough for my customers. Satin Ribbon Fray was* a big and our only problem which has now been solved!Give this machine time, it took me a while to work out the best method...Turn it on let it heat up for a few minutes.Lay your ribbon down across the dip and shut the lid firmly down (don't press button at same time)Then when you are happy and the ribbon is in place press the button firmly for 1-2 seconds don't apply too much pressure but just enough to cut it. (too firmly or for too long and it will start to melt ribbon and stick to wire)Sometimes the ribbon will *ping* when its cut but most of the time not, some times the Satin will just fall out when cut. Slowly lift lid and hopefully cut perfectly!If there's some ribbon on it when testing, don't panic close the lid until light comes back on to heat back up and quickly remove ribbon whilst its semi shut, let the excess burn off and its good to go again.Don't pull ribbon off wire when lid id up as wire will break.Any questions please ask happy to help!

Cuts the ribbon within seconds, one press down and it's cut! it also warms up extremely fast. It's super small and compact. 10/10, love it. cannot recommend it enough
