When to choose it

Choose the wooden fid when you need a small hand contact for pressing copper foil after it is in place. Rainbow identifies its 12871 as a wooden burnisher that also opens lead channels. That gives the point a second role if you work with both foil and came on different panels.

The listing is for one wooden fid. Compare a dedicated dispenser if your main problem is feeding and centering a roll of tape. A fid is useful for the part of the job where you need direct contact with a small section of the edge.
