ChompSaw: The Kid-Safe Power Tool for Cardboard Creation

The ChompSaw opens up a world of creativity with safe, hands-on power tool action designed just for kids and classrooms. From forts to prototypes to architectural models, it empowers young makers to cut, shape, and build with confidence.

Introducing the ChompSaw — a kid-safe power tool engineered specifically to transform ordinary cardboard into extraordinary inventions. This isn’t just a craft tool — it’s a gateway to STEAM thinking, design iteration, and maker empowerment. The ChompSaw is designed to be safe for young hands, with protective structures that keep fingers, hair, and clothes away from the cutting mechanism.

Cut, score, punch — turn cardboard into invention

Inside the box, you receive the Chompshop ChompSaw unit with a 100-120 V AC (US) power supply stored under the lid. A handy hole-punch tool lets kids start cuts from the center of cardboard, and a scoring tool allows folds or pre-compressing thicker cardboard so it feeds through easily. In the Learning Hub online, you’ll find project ideas, video tutorials, and educator guides that take the tool from novelty to classroom-ready learning.

The Chompshop ChompSaw is suitable for a range of students (ages 3+ in some settings) and small groups — perfect for makerspaces, STEM labs, or home workshops. It aligns with design thinking, prototyping workflows, and spatial reasoning skill-building. Because it specializes in cardboard (up to roughly 3 mm thick), users learn to evaluate materials, adjust techniques, iterate through testing, and build real confidence in making.

For educators and school programs, this tool offers a bridge between playful making and structured engineering thinking. It fosters creativity, independence, problem solving, and safe tool literacy.
