Questions & Answers

What if I use the product on a wooden wick? Can it be used?

All in all, I like the trimmer very much! It is worth the cost because of the convenience it provides.

Are tiki wicks compatible with this?

When you're referring to the large tiki torches on the porch, the wicks will not be cut. Small candle wicks made for this candle

Can you tell me where these are ?

Chinese manufacturers make them.

The trimmer is designed with a 1/4 inch foot so that it can automatically cut the wick to 1/4"?

Thanks for getting in touch The Wickman trimmers do not have the 1/4-inch measuring foot on the bottom. If the wick is bent or not straight as expected, or if it is not nearly brand new, this can be cumbersome and make the trimmer ineffective. You can request a wick length that is appropriate for you.

Selected User Reviews For Wickman Candle Wick Trimmer, Matte Black

It's a great tool to use and I enjoy it
5/5

Despite the fact that I was destroying pairs of scissors and burning ends of wicks for years, I had no idea these existed until recently. My wife told me about the Wickman! I had never heard of him until then! Even deep votives are not a problem with this tool, as it makes it easy to remove the trimmed wick end. This is a very well made product, and the matte black looks great too. You're right, it's a one-time deal The tool can be used for any purpose, but trimming a wick with it is the most satisfying. My thoughts on fetishizing it made me feel weird, because it sounds oddly innuendo-like. I am still happy that I bought it, however.

An efficient candle wick trimmer will do the job! The wick trimmer I own works very well
4/5

I have never owned a wick trimmer before. Metal is an extremely sturdy material used to construct the trimmer. Cutting wicks with the razor is simple thanks to the sharp blades. So you don't get your hands ashy from trimming the wick, the wick trimmer catches the wick. We have arrived at a game changing moment! There is only one thing that bothers me when you get to the end of the candle jar it becomes difficult to maneuver the angle of the wick trimmer. There may be benefits to a more vertical layout for this problem.

This is garbage
3/5

I just threw away all my money. It is difficult to close the scissor blades neatly due to their dullness. You can put your fingers in the two holes but they aren't smooth at all It is a shame that they used rounded metal instead of 90 degree angles it is all very sharp. As soon as I received it, I returned it. According to this article, don't waste your money on the cheapest wick trimmer.

I love it! I use scissors for years to trim the wicks of my candles because I am a candle aficionado
5/5

This wick trimmer came to my attention while I was searching for another item. The decision to purchase it was a result of some reason. Honestly, I can say that I'll save a lot of money with this purchase. Jar candles require a pair of scissors to trim the wicks to 1/4 of an inch for optimal burning, which is nearly impossible to do with a pair of scissors. It takes me less than a minute to trim the wick to 1/4th of an inch with this wick trimmer. When I light my candles, I find that they burn more evenly and for a longer period of time. It has reduced soot and dust in my house to a great extent, and I am very satisfied with the The whole thing doesn't seem like a gimmick, which was my original assumption.

As it happens, I use it a lot for something I didn't even know it existed
5/5

Candles are used throughout the house by my wife and me. The atmosphere in the house is improved thanks to the ambient lighting and the fragrant breezes. The wicks on my candles were trimmed by my wife after they were used. During the low years of the candles, I received black char on my hands from the glass and had a difficult time getting my hand inside the flames when they were I was told that I should get a "wick trimmer" by my wife. I'm blushing a bit, I must say. Let's move on to the review of the product. My favorite aspect of these headphones is the fact that they are black and flat. This type of material is easy to grip and does not show any charring. In order to use the wick, you simply place the end on the wax and cut it. The wick is caught in the bowl of the trimmer and disposed of easily due to its easy recycling feature. Now the candles last longer, don't give off black smoke, have no dirty hands, and no wicks are *****This product gets a five-star rating from me!.

I am impressed with the quality of It's amazing how well this candle wick cutter works
5/5

Burning candles for a long period of time forms a ball at the top of my wicks, so I burn a lot of them. The wick cutter is something that I use every time before re-wicking A candle is lit for me. By using this, my candles burn more evenly and give a clean, straight cut. This candle cutter is sharp and has a lip at the end so that the wick won't fall back into the candle after cutting it. Even the wick at the bottom of narrow pillar candles can be reached by the distinctive long handle! This is a highly recommended product.

Then he became dull
3/5

Despite what you might think, I am not convinced that wick trimmers are supposed to be incredibly sharp, but they could be! The thought of using a knife sharpener on them has crossed my mind. Despite the fact that they were once sharp, they are now dull as a rock. If the wick has not been burning, it is only cut if it is completely dry. At first, the cutters cut everything regardless of how I handled it, now I have to try again and again Making a mess in the candle over and over again.

A higher quality wick scissor will be more effective
3/5

Despite throwing these into a drawer months ago, I forgot that I ever had them and I planned on writing this review now. It's a cool design, but the scissors are poorly made and hard to use. Although I wanted to gift my sister a pair of wick scissors for her birthday, the scissors are difficult to use. It is very difficult to smoothly slide the scissors to cut the wick because the blade portions are rubbing against one another so hard. It is almost impossible to use them because of this. There is also a black finish that has already rubbed off.
