ProvoCraft Zision Tool Kit


Provocraft have under the Zision range, released a toolkit aimed at scrapbookers. Packaged in a similar manner as the Silent Setter, the Toolkit comes in a black zippered pouch. Each item in the kit fits into a space carved into firm, lime green foam.



The tool kit contains:

  • 8 punches (1/16", 1/8", 1/4", square, rectangle, star, flower, heart) and handle
  • tweezers
  • hammer
  • two needles
  • piecer/awl
  • scorer
  • wire cutters
  • scissors
  • 3.5" x 3.5" self-healing mat
The inter-changable hole-punch heads screw into the handle. This forms a quite sturdy bond. The punch heads are held firmly in place in the kit by matching holes in the foam on the other side of the case. These punches are used in conjunction with a small 3.5" x 3.5" self-healing mat which fits into the case. This small mat is especially useful, and could be used with other tools, such as exo-knives and the awl. The hammer, while small easily gives enough force to use with the hole punches.

The tweezers are also handy for working with both fibres and the various hole punches in the kits (great for cleaning out blocked punches or working with the very small punches produced).



The scissors come with a plastic guard to protect the blades as well as the other items in the kit. The wire cutters easily cut the wire used by most scrapbookers, although I wouldn't use it on anything too heavy gauge. The needles are quite large, making use fairly simple. They have two different sized eyes to ensure you can use both thin threads, such as embroidery floss and thicker fibres such as wools and fancy yarns as well. The awl is sharp and would be useful when working with thicker materials such as chipboard and leather. Very useful for making holes to thread fibres through.

Pros: Very easy to use and contains all the standard must have tools that scrapbookers are always reaching for. While it doesn't have the amount of tools other toolkits aimed at scrapbooker have, this means it doesn't clutter the kit with things most people won't use or will only use infrequently.

Cons: To be honest, I can't really think of anything against this kit. It is modest in it's purpose and fulfills it well. Anyone disagree?

Quick Review (Out of 5 Stars)
