I received this as a Christmas present. I read the reviews on here and I couldn't decide if this was something I really wanted but left it on my Christmas list. Someone grabbed it for me and I couldn't be happier with it! Honestly I think it depends on the cartridges and the size of your cut outs that you use as to whether you will get use out of this. I use it a lot with puppy pals. The tools help with getting the scrap paper off the mat from the intricate cut outs. I will say I haven't used all of the tools yet and probably won't I think it would benefit cricut to make them more available individually then in a set. Otherwise, I would recommend these tools for anyone doing intricate cutting.
Update: 05/02/08 Since I wrote this review I have accumulated about 11 carts. And I still stand by this review. My fave tool is still the spatchula which you have to purchase separately. I use the other tools a lot with Accent Essentials, and Home Accents oo also Jasmine. For small cuts these tools work like a champ! My only complaint is a general complaint about Cricut. Cricut thinks their products are gold. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my bug and I use it regularly. But I think their products are way over priced.. So I would look to buy this when its on sale.. That's when its a real deal.

I have found this kit quite useful, since I am a fairly new Cricut user (I was actually kind of lost without it) and did not have any other tools for papercrafting. However, it is missing 1, if not 2, essential tools. As most reviewers say, the spatula (not included) is the most useful tool for Cricut users so why is it only sold separately? In addition, it drives me crazy that there isn't at least a spot in the case for it...it doesn't even fit in there loosely. I also think a pair of tweezers would be very helpful for picking up and affixing tiny pieces. I find myself stabbing at them with the sharp hook, then trying to carefully pry them off the hook once in place. I am going to go buy a pair of tweezers, which is no big deal, but for me this is just another tool that should be included in the kit. I have one other complaint, which is that I, like another reviewer, don't really know what some of the tools are for. Some sort of instructions or chart would have been helpful to me (I personally believe that the Cricut company could use some help in the instructions department anyway I had to purchase another DVD, not made by their company, to really figure out more than the basics with the Cricut). I have not used all the tools, but find the hook and small blade the most useful. I will probably also really like the folding tool once I start making cards. I like the case the tools come in (I have had no problems with mine, and all pieces fit snugly). I think the Amazon price (less than $13 right now) is acceptable I paid much more than this in a store.Best Deals for Cricut 7-Piece Tool Kit for Cricut Cutting Machines
I recieved this as a gift with my Cricut and in my opinion it's a waste of money. I only use the small scissors and one of the tools for taking things off my Cricut mat both of which can be purchased individually. Not worth the money!Honest reviews on Cricut 7-Piece Tool Kit for Cricut Cutting Machines
If you're hardcore you probably ALREADY have these tools the only thing that's cool about this kit is that everything fits into a nice cute little case. The one bummer it doesn't come with a spatula which is ESSENTIAL to use with your cricut. This is more for aesthetics than it is for usability.If you are getting a kit I would actually recommend the Slice kit I use that with my cricut. It has a spatula in the kit! (can you imagine that?) It also has other tools that is more useful.
