What this tool is for

The XL's thicker body gives you a larger grip when you need to work along a long, exposed fold. Its point can first locate the crease beside a guide, and the flat part can then press it along the sheet.

Fit and buying advice

The metric dimensions are the more specific measurements in the listing details. Choose the slimmer 13.3 cm folder if a nearby cover edge leaves little hand clearance.

Questions about this tool

What changes between the two Craftelier sizes?

The XL is longer, wider and thicker. Try it where the fold is open and you want more body to hold.

Is the 15.8 cm measure the scored line length?

It describes the tool overall. You can work in successive passes along a larger sheet.

What if I need to press a small cover corner?

Compare the smaller folder or a pencil-profile burnisher depending on how much room there is beside the joint.
