Abstract
A precision cutting tool for removing the excess wax wall of a pillar styled candle includes a ring configured to encircle the candle and a handle extending from the ring. The handle includes an extendible and retractable cutting element. The cutting element may be extended into the circle defined by the interior circumference of the ring in a gradual manner. The tool includes a recess for the cutting element to be retained when the tool is not in use. The interior of the handle includes a cutting element mover configured to cause linear movement of the cutting element into and partially out of the recess. When the mover is actuated in a direction that results in movement of the cutting element out of the recess, the cutting element extends partially into the candle located in the interior circle established by the ring. The candle or the tool may then be rotated to cause cutting into the candle wall until the excess wax wall can be removed.
