the cricut tools? The ones that have the pick and exacto knife etc... Do you use them? Are they wroth buying? Thanks

I have the spatula. LOVE it--can't imagine working without it.

I have been picking my images off with my nails and all those tiny pieces stay there! What about the rest of the tools? I'm not even sure what they are all used for. I've picked up the package several times and never bought it.

I do and use it a lot. I use the scraper to scrape off anything left.

I have the toolkit. Mine has a small spatula that I use frequently. It has a large spatula that I think actually came separately, and I use it quite a bit for larger things or for thin fragile things so they won't rip. The kit came with a hook like tool that I find useful for punching out the insides of letters, like e and a. The scraper kkrewtea mentioned is like the Pampered Chef scraper. I didn't realize it was to scrape off the mat - I'll certainly give that a try!

My toolkit came with a long pointy-end stick and I don't know what it is for. The scissors and ruler are useful. I haven't found a use for the exacto knife, but if a need arises, it'll be nice to have.

I think the ruler and scissors are just a duplication of what I already have and don't tend to use those much. I do use the large spatula (bought separately), small spatula and hook to help remove cut pieces off the mat and the scraper to clean the mat after I have removed my cuts. The knife thing gets used if I have pieces that didn't get cut all the way through in areas.

The problem I have is that I just hate storing all these tools in the case when the large spatula (the one I use the most) doesn't have it's own home in the same case. I would rather see them replace the ruler & scissors with the large spatula, but I doubt if they will do that anytime in the future.

I made a home for the large spatula in the case. The large spatula is about the same width as the ruler, though slightly longer. I cut a notch in the foam from one end of the ruler's hole, cutting only as much as needed height and depth-wise for the large spatula to fit snugly on top of the ruler. It works great for me.

I have the toolkit and the spatula, but mainly just use the spatula - great tool!

I have the tool kit... bought it for $5 on a clearance sale... I didn't think it was that great.. I bought the spatula and use it all the time.. It works to lift of items on the map and scrap bits off when necessary. I am glad I bought that...

the only tool i ever use with my cricut is my piercing needle. it works for lifting paper of any size. haven't yet seen the need for any of the cricut tools.
