Such a great package at a great price. All four of the tools bundled in this set came individually packed, which was shocking to me because these tools retail at about $8 each when purchased individually. The price charged for this set isn't even half that. I love it!The tools all work amazingly. The spatula and the pick are absolutely mandatory for cleanly prying any kind of fragile paper off a sticky mat, and the pick-me-up tool is so simple but so useful for picking up tiny pieces like the dot on an 'i', a comma or period, etc.I expected to be using the plastic scraper a lot, but I'm finding I don't need to if I'm careful with the pick and the spatula. The spatula is tapered into a very thin edge on the end, and it's perfect for prying stuck material off the mat. If I go slowly, nothing tears, and there's nothing left behind that needs scraped off.I'm also finding the spatula super useful for separating materials, like separating adhesive vinyl from its backing after having cut the vinyl. When you cut some brands of vinyl, the act of cutting (especially if you use scissors) can sort of press the vinyl and its backing together, making them very difficult to separate. The spatula's scraping edge is fine enough that it can wiggle in between them and cleanly separate them! So much faster for me than fiddling with the vinyl's edge, trying to get a bit of a grip on the backing so I can peel it away.All in all a great deal for some quality made tools. I really love the fact that the spatula and the pick are metal. I expect these to last a long time.Note: If you're worried that these are Silhouette branded, don't be. There is nothing brand-specific about these tools. I use them with a Sizzix eClips 2, but I'd honestly consider buying the set even if I didn't own an electronic cutter at all. They're just ridiculously useful for general crafts.
