Has anyone used the little electric carving tool from pumpkin masters? It saws back and forth on it's own, instead of having to use the little saw tools. I wonder if it's any easier. With my luck I'd carve my fingers off.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

Hi geekmidwinter, I saw one of those at Michaels craft store the other day, and really need to go back and get it. I'll let you know how it works out.

Ok so I tried it this weekend.

I have to say I thought it totally rocked. It made carving my pumpkin WAAAY faster. But I would say it's definitely better on ones with longer lines rather than intricate parts.

For example, I carved an evil smile on a pumpkin this weekend. It worked great for the curvy lines of the of the bottom part of the smile, but I just had to be a bit more careful when I carved sharp bits (similar to sharp teeth). Also, you have to be careful to push it down most the way into the pumpkin otherwise it's easy to not carve all the way through.

One other drawback for me was that I enjoy watching movies with my husband while I carve pumpkins and this tool is a bit loud. I mean it's not deafening at all, but it's loud enough that my husband went upstairs to watch TV. So like I said...a bit of a drawback, but I guess any electric tool you'd use on pumpkins would make noise.

I am definitely a huge fan of this little tool though.
