Hi Max, Usually I trim the tape close with a Stanley utility knife, the sort with a triangular blade. Only thing is that darn stuff is often sharper than the knife and wants to cut my fingers. Then a file or sand paper or a scraper or all three.
I have never tried one of those specific trimmers and now I think I won't bother. Thanks for that.

In a recently completed project I used plywood and applied iron on tape to the edges. Since the tape is wider than the thickness of the wood I had to trim it off somehow. I spent several bucks on trimmers but I found the best way is to use a wood chisel. The problem is that the corner of the chisel wants to dig into the surface of the wood. My solution was to put a small piece of duck tape over that corner. Just keep the flat side of the chisel against the surface and push it along. the tape will be left just a bit above the wood but a few strokes of hand sanding will take it down to be even. So, don't waste your money on those trimmers. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
