Fit and buying advice

The listing calls the set nylon in the title and describes it more generally as plastic in the details. Treat the four shapes as the useful distinction.

Questions about this tool

When does a set help more than a single folder?

Choose it if your projects alternate between long creases, small corners and shaped surfaces.

Do I use all four tools on one fold?

Use the profile that makes comfortable contact. A straight point can start the crease and a smooth edge can flatten it.

Which piece should I try near a spine?

Try the narrower or curved piece with enough room for your hand to pass the raised edge.
