As I was in my scrappy space today, I found an item that I have only used a handful of times... I want to know what product/tool have you purchased on impulse/you regret or never use? 

For me it is the Xyron Design Runner:


 

Gosh, I do not REGRET any tool purchase, I still want to use all my tools, someday.  I guess I really have not bought many tools really.

I am planning to use my Fastenator on my Disney pages at the NSD retreat I am attending.

im not much for tools anymore
I used to have things like a xyron etc......long gone

I have a Slice that I never use anymore since I now have a Silhouette and a Cuttlebug. I packed it up and am planning to give it to my dd.

Those hand held label makers. I have a couple Around the Block and Label Buddy. They never seem to work very well. They're still in my drawer though. 

Good question,I think I use most of my tools. I don't buy too many, just the ones  I really want. 

Decorative Scissors!!!! They looked so easy and simple....I can't cut straight along with it crumpled up everything and never looked good.  

I probably own 10 or more decorative scissors...I like them but like Carissa I can not cut a straight edge.

The we r memory keepers mini 8 punch

My Crop-A-Dile Big Bite.  Took it out of the package, tried it once to make sure it worked, and haven't touched it since.  I believe that was 2012, may have been even earlier than that.  I always just grab the regular Crop-A-Dile.   

The amount of Cricut cartridges I bought.  I only use a few over and over...

I was gifted a cropadile many years ago and rarely use it.  I just purchased we r happy jig.  I’m wondering how much use I will get out of it.

OMG me too! I even bought the whole set at Hobby Lobby 10 yrs ago when I first started scrapping. I still have them. They are on a shelf, in the back of my scrappy closet.

I have a set of deco scissors, too, but mine get used a lot.  Not necessarily for scrapping, but they get used all the time for party favors, tally cards, place cards, table scatters, etc. 

I bought a Creatopia years ago (I was so excited that I could emboss a whole 12x12 piece of paper) but I don't use it very often.

I got a set of punches that can punch anywhere on the page with different shaped inserts (Fiskars, I think). I think I used it like twice. I should probably get rid of them.
 

My fastenator. I may have used it once.

The Fuse tool - luckily I bought it at Tuesday Morning, but it's still in the package... I just don't see myself using it.  And the Cricut (original) - I was too intimidated by it.... Sold it and the many cartridges I accumulated several years ago.

I have an envelope punch board thingy and I thought it would be a good investment but I underestimated how much paper you need to make envelopes and then I am too cheap to use my cardstock for that LOL! I hardly ever use it. 

I jumped into the Quickutz craze when they first came out and have gone through several hand-crank machines over the years. The revolution was the first one and then the Epic....both gone now. Last year I bought a Cuddlebug and have been able to use my QK dies with it. I still have too many alphabets, shapes and phrases. But it's too late to change my die-cutting methods. Maybe someday I will change to an electronic machine, but not today. I LOVE my QK dies!
