What are the most useful DIY cutting tools?
When it comes to DIY, cutting tools are some of the most essential bits of kit you’ll own. A sharp utility knife, for example, is endlessly useful—from opening packaging to trimming flooring or scoring plasterboard. Then there’s the handsaw, which remains a go-to for cutting timber cleanly, whether you're putting up a shelf or building a planter box. For more detailed or curved work, a junior hacksaw offers the control needed without compromising on bite. At Rinkit, our range of cutting tools is designed to cover all those everyday needs. They're sharp, dependable, and built with comfort in mind—because a good grip matters just as much as a good blade when you’re halfway through a job.
How do I choose the right cutting tool?
It’s all about matching the tool to the task. A fixed-blade knife offers strength for heavy-duty cutting, while retractable blades give you safety and convenience in one tidy package. Hacksaws are ideal for metal or plastic piping, and if you’re slicing through cardboard, carpet, or cable ties, a snap-off knife often works best. Rinkit’s collection includes tried-and-tested favourites that won’t let you down mid-cut. And it’s not just about performance—ease of blade changes, rust resistance, and handle design all play a part. You want tools that last, but also ones you’re happy to pick up time and time again. That’s why we focus on quality that feels solid from the first use.
Are these tools only for big DIY projects?
Not at all. One of the best things about a good cutting tool is how often it comes in handy, even outside of a planned project. Whether you're trimming wallpaper, cutting weed membrane in the garden, or just slicing through awkward packaging, having the right blade nearby saves time and hassle. Rinkit’s cutting tools are chosen for their everyday practicality—easy to store, simple to use, and tough enough for repeat work. They’re the sort of tools that don’t shout for attention, but quietly make life easier. And once you’ve used them a few times, you’ll find yourself wondering how you ever got by without one within reach.
