A wick trimmer is a specialized tool used for trimming the wicks of candles. It typically consists of a pair of scissors-like blades attached to long handles. The blades are designed to snip off excess wick length cleanly and precisely, ensuring that the wick remains at the optimal length for burning. This helps to prevent issues such as excessive smoking, soot buildup, and uneven burning of the candle. Wick trimmers are often made of stainless steel or other durable materials to withstand repeated use. They are commonly used by candle enthusiasts and professionals alike to maintain the quality and performance of candles.
