    Snuffers are tools used to extinguish the flame of candles. They are usually made of metal and feature a small cone or bell at the end of a handle, which are designed to cut off oxygen supply and put out the flame safely without producing smoke or hot wax splattering. Historically, some snuffers also include a scissor mechanism for trimming the candle wick.
