I have never tried distressing so I didn't want to buy anything too expensive. This is just the right price. It isn't expensive at all and it does the job although you will probably have to run it over the page severall times to get the right look. However, I can't complain too much for the $1 it cost. It is definitely a good starter tool for people wanting to experiment with distressing, like me. I actually inked the page before I distressed it and really liked the final product.

For the price I think this is an excellent little tool. I use it in conjunction with sandpaper or the Basic Grey precision file set. It takes patience and time, but it works! Works better on cardstock than thinner paper. You can get it to work on lighter weight paper you just have to do smaller sections at a time.

The edge distresser is a disk with a razor blade inside it. Scraping it along the edge of your paper gives you a variety of looks, depending on the pressure you apply, the angle you scrape it at, and even whether you're altering dry or wet paper. There are lots of ways to distress paper, and this little tool just adds another dimension to your products. And for the price, it just can't be beat!
The circular shape makes it easy to hold and you can't go wrong with pink! The distressing is subtle and not too much. It is a cheap way to add a little age to your page! Looks great on heritage pages!

This little tool is so light and easy to use. You simply rub it back and forth along the edge of your paper and you are left with a nice, distressed edge to ink or leave as-is. It is much safer to use than the edge of your scissors, and won't take up much room in your crop bag.

I recently bought this and love it! It's so cheap and easy to use-just drag it along the edge of the paper and you're done! Gives it a distressed look very quickly.

I do like just how "rough" this makes the edges of cardstock, but I wish it was easier to grip while "roughing" the edges.. I find I end up creasing my paper because it's all so much to handle at once! But it is neat!
