Scissors, general: Fabric scissors with a case that sharpens them everytime they go in or out.
Scissors, for adhesive/sticky products: No Name scissors I've had forever
Scissors, shaped: Can't go wrong with a large and small scallop. Classic.
Trimmers, portable: Provocraft. The ugly lime green one with pink. The blades seem to go dull fast but I love the construction far more than Fiskars.
Trimmers, stationary: Don't have one
Any special cutting tools you like: I use a tiny exacto knife quite a bit and I'm trying to build up a stock of different sizes of circle and square punches.

One tool I couldn't live without is my "Pokey Tool". It's just this little piece of metal with a sharp point on the end (bought at the dollar store) and I use it for EVERYTHING. Placing tiny embellies, poking holes, lifting stickers, etc. It's an extension of my arm.

scissors: cutterbee

I have a cutterpede trimmer and I'm not loving it so much anymore. I'm looking for a new one. I'm thinking of the tonic or the purple cow. Maybe I should put out a thinger on the boards and see what everyone suggests.
