What this tool is for

The wide square body gives you a place to hold the tool when smoothing across a glued area. The angled corner reaches into a smaller spot near a turn-in. It is useful when you want those two contact shapes without a long pointed folder.

Fit and buying advice

The visible shape explains the choice. For pressure along a long fold, compare a straight folder with a longer working edge.

Questions about this tool

When is the angled corner useful?

It lets you bring the point toward a crease or corner while keeping a broad body in your grip.

What should I check on delicate paper?

Try the actual edge and pressure on an offcut. Inspect the side that will remain visible.

How does it compare to the Ergo Square?

Both have broad bodies. ECOHU lists cattle bone, while CrafTreat names its own material as Teflon.
