Default Anyone still using the SU Circle Scissors Plus?

I'm in the midst of a deep, craft room purge.
But don't you hate when you purge so aggressively that you later wish you had a certain item you donated?

So.... I haven't used the SU Circle Scissors Plus w/Glass Mat very much, but don't want regrets.
I do have an electronic cutter, so maybe that's enough?
Or maybe get rid of the actual cutter and keep the glass mat?

?????????

Thanks for any insight!

The glass mat would be useful. I have an ancient one from EK Success and I do use it for messy techniques like alcohol inks and colorburst. Easy to keep clean.

Personally, I never saw a need for the Circle scissor...although it was a cool invention, so I never got it.  I can't make any recommendation there, sorry!

I sent mine off to the second hand store a few years ago but I kept the glass mat. I regretted buying the thing and never got the a good cut on it. Waste of money IMHO.

I too kept my glass mat and donated the circle scissors.. I never got the hang of it, and switched to circle metal dies....

Definitely keep the glass mat. Play with the circle cutter. If it it still fun-ask yourself how many circles do you use in a year and if you have a nesting die set...is this necessary? I just liked it for more size options than a nesting set.

I kept the glass, but regret tossing the cutter - used it more in the kitchen than the craft room to cut parchment liners for tins and cake pans LOL.

If you have room to store I say keep it. Just recently used a version of it to cut circles out of Mat Board to create my own Chuckie Tool. Plan to use it again to create a blending brush holder.
