My sizzix is dead :(

[Caroline]

It's happenned to 2 of mine,I do have a Big Shot and an Accucut Mark 4 but sometimes I need a sizzix

[Looby Lou]

ooooo Caroline, how gorgeous is Mr Penniman in that photo
wean yourself off him that can't be good for your health surely

[rainbow_poppy]

My sizzix has a large crack in the red housing but it still works, made a horrible noise when it went though. Yours looks much more dramatic than mine!

[Caroline]

Thats how mine started

[LUCY C-T]

Oooer, mine's got a big crack in it too! I don't use it much these days, so it might last a while yet.

[Scrap_Vamp]

Eek, definitely a casualty there then, Caroline If you've done it to two now, I reckon you must have super strength

[Gadget Monkey]

Mine has cracked too, but is still useable, but I dont really use it anymore. I also managed to break a big shot too, about 1 week after the year guarantee run out, I snapped this massive metal rod inside of it....

[rainbow_poppy]

Oooh I know what me and my beloved sizzix have to look forward to. Do you think I should try and scaffold the bottom to prolong the poor little things life?

[Pink Chocolate]

my goodness

never had that happen to mine and have even let my ds use is

[**Maria**]

You must be stronger than you look Caroline

I got one in Hobbycraft a while ago for £25

[Eileen C]

I did that to my sizzix as well.....Paul did talk about getting his dad to fix it to a big board etc, but I just got the big Ellison Prestige instead....

Hadn't heard of the Ellison Prestige, and I'm never one to let a gadget go unnoticed, so I googled it - WOW! that is one SERIOUS bit of kit !

How do you need a sizzix if you have a bigshot.
WHat does it do that a bigshot doesn't do apart from crack in half

That looks really sharp plastic.

[JAZZY1972]

I have never had one but I feel for you and I would complain if it happened twice!

RIP SIZZIX have fun in craft heaven

many years ago mine did that to dh fixed to a a piece of mdf board and did somthing else which i cant remember and i did some altered art on it lol and i gave it away when my son bought me a big shot i believe its still going strong ,i would not bother trying to take it back because i did and according to sizzix if you use it every week thats excessive use and its not made for that and i only had mine 4 months

Mine has a crack in the top corner. I LOVE my sizzix too.
