Candle Wick Trimmer | 19cm | Colour May Vary - Steel Wick Cutter

Trim a candle wick without reaching into the jar. This 19cm (7.5 inch) wick trimmer has an angled head that cuts the wick level and a flat plate that catches the cut end, so it does not drop into the wax. The maker states stainless steel, and the finish varies per piece between silver, rose gold, black and gold.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this wick trimmer?
It is 19x6cm (7.5x2.4 inch), long enough to reach the base of most deep jar candles.

Which colour will I get?
The trimmer comes in silver, rose gold, black or gold, and the finish is sent on availability, so the colour may vary.

Will it trim a tealight or a pillar candle?
Yes. It suits cotton and pre-waxed wicks in jar, pillar, votive and tealight candles once the wax has set.

Why use a wick trimmer instead of craft scissors?
The trimmer has an angled head and a catch plate, so the cut sits level and the end stays out of the wax. Craft scissors cut paper and card well but cannot reach into a deep jar. Pick the trimmer for candle care and scissors for craft work.
