Black Diamond Trim Tool

When you get your hands on a Pomoca skin trimmer this tool seem wholly inadequate. This is more of a letter opener that requires a lot more work. The Pomoca trimmer is not only is easier to hold I can almost trim an entire edge in one swipe as it automatically is offset and leaves just the right amount of edge exposed. It’s a miracle.

It's nice that BD includes these with their skins, but there are far better options if you are purchasing a skin trimming tool outright. If you look at the competition, you can see that they use a guide to align the cutter with the edge of the ski. BD uses no such guide - just cut and pray.

Considering that a misaligned cut can seriously impact a skin's ability to function as intended, the additional $5-10 you need to spend to buy the Pomoca tool or the G3 tool (my personal favorite) is well worth the investment.
