Makedo Cardboard Construction Tools | Safe-Saw

When a cardboard box is about to become a castle, robot or racing car, the Makedo Safe-Saw is the tool that gets the build started.

Specially engineered for young makers, the Safe-Saw features a steel blade with graded serrations and no sharp edges. It uses a simple forward-and-back motion to cut through cardboard while helping keep fingers safer during supervised creative play.

Even better, the saw softens the freshly cut cardboard edge as it works, helping reduce those annoying cardboard paper cuts. Reverse the tool and use the pointed end to punch a line of guide holes before cutting more detailed shapes or following a planned design.

An extra Safe-Saw means another set of hands can join the cardboard construction action, making it a handy addition to family kits, classrooms, maker spaces and group projects. It is simple, low-tech and brilliantly useful for turning clean cardboard into hours of imaginative play.

Makedo tools encourage kids to plan, problem-solve, create and work together. From a rainy arvo at home to a full classroom build, this Safe-Saw helps young inventors turn ordinary boxes into something completely their own.
