A wick trimmer, also known as a wick cutter, is a tool designed to maintain candle wicks at an ideal length. Keeping the wick at the right length helps candles burn more efficiently, reduces soot, and prevents the flame from becoming too large or uneven.

Wick trimmers resemble a pair of scissors but have angled blades to allow for easy access to the wick, even in deep or narrow candle holders. They're practical tools for anyone who enjoys candles and wants to prolong their life and improve their burn quality.
