I use it to light candles and it is not too heavy and not too late and I love everything that came with itI'm a normal person who has gotten into candles while cooped up in my tiny apartment during the pandemic (side bonus - scented candles are instant at-home covid test!). To my surprise, I found I needed accoutrement to manage the candle wicks. I looked at bunch and finally settled on this one because the wick trimmer looked like it would work, and it does. I've had no issues at being able to reach down into the big Yankee-style candle jars and trim the wick. The angle could be more vertical, I guess, but it works fine. I haven't used the snuffer because I just poke the lit wick into the wax to minimize smoke. The little pokey thing is useful for pulling the wick back up to dry (I was using chopsticks before). It's pretty easy to chip off the cooled built-up wax and have it looking good as new. I have to roll my eyes at what people are charging for these little things, but this came at a reasonable price in comparison and in silver tone. They're of solid, heavy metal so I think they'll last for a while. Shipping took a while, but I knew that ahead of time. I recommend!This set was purchased as a gift for a friend. She was thrilled with quality, color, and the usefulness. If you burn candles, it's a great purchase and well worth the money. Because it's such a nice set you can place it on a decorative dish for display and easy access. The angled scissors catch the wick as you trim it. The small tool makes it easy to get any wick pieces out of the wax so the candle always looks clean and neat.Good product. I returned a different one because It didn’t cut well. This one does the job rightWorks well, daughter would have preferred a silver color.I almost splurged on a $40 pair of wick trimmers before I came across this set. So glad I bought this instead because I was introduced to the wick dipper tool and how to use it properly. That tool alone has helped extend the shelf life of my very expensive candles. Scissors work great too! Definitely worth a buy for yourself or as a gift for candle lovers.The quality is great. I want one in each room and to give as gifts. I Love it. The velvet bag was a added bonus.This is awesome!! Love it
