For cutting cloth tape, insulating paper, labels, cardboard and plastic sheeting, a proper pair of trimmers beats a utility knife. The Klein Tools 9208-P is an 8-1/4 in lightweight bent trimmer with stamped, precision-ground stainless steel blades and a synthetic handle designed for right- or left-handed use. Its bent handles let the blade glide flat along a work surface.
Why buyers pick it
- Precision-ground stainless steel blades give a clean, even cut.
- Bent handles glide along flat surfaces and reduce wrist strain.
- Ambidextrous synthetic handle for right- or left-handed users.

Pro tip from the counter
Keep these off copper wire, zip ties and metal banding, which nick a precision-ground edge that is made for textiles, cardboard and plastic. If thin material starts folding between the blades instead of cutting, snug the tension screw a little before assuming the blades are dull.
Best for: cutting tape, fabric and insulating paper, cardboard and plastic sheeting, shop and office use, left-handed users
