The ChompSaw: A Benchtop Power Tool That's Safe for Kids to Use
Cuts curves, can't cut fingers
Of all freestanding power tools, perhaps the jigsaw or scrollsaw would be the most fun for kids to use, as they allow freeform cuts. They're also pretty darn dangerous, with the jigsaw being powerful enough to remove fingers.
A much safer way to introduce kids to power tools is this ChompSaw, developed by product designers Kausi Raman and Max Liechty. The material it's designed to cut is cardboard, allowing parents to turn Amazon boxes into projects.
The tool is essentially a nibbler, using an oscillating cutter that's safely tucked beneath a puck-like protrusion, completely preventing finger contact.
The nibblings are collected in a bin below, allowing you to recycle the waste.
The ChompSaw runs $250.
