 Trim photos easily June 7, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I've had one of these trimmers for about 4 years. I'm still using the first blade, so if it ever gets dull I still have the replacement blade that came with the package. Only problem I can think of is storing this thing -- I cut the plastic blister pack in a way that I can put the paper trimmer back in the original package for storage. It's ugly, but it works, and it keeps the instructions and the extra blade together with the trimmer, and keeps the dust away. It's safe and easy to use; I suppose you could cut yourself if you really tried, so don't try.
When I needed several small photos of students in a class, I used Adobe Photoshop Elements to merge them all into two 8x10 sheets. Then I had those 8x10's printed for a couple of dollars, and cut them all apart to wallet-size photos, using my Fiskars trimmer.
 Works GREAT if you're careful, and affordable April 22, 2007

My experience with this has been overall very good. I've got one that's going on four years old, and use it for more of my scrap booking projects than I use my big rotary cutter for...it's much more portable for crops, and easier to just grab it to use for cropping a photo, etc., than the big one!
Cutting UP rather than pulling it toward you helps if you're having trouble with wobbly cuts, although I rarely have a problem. Keeping it pulled to the inside also helps. And, most importantly, make sure you replace the blade when the cuts start to be ragged and less clean. The blades aren't made to last forever, but they are very cheap! (Usually less than $5 for two).
Overall, this is an extremely portable, super cheap, and very easy to use cutter, fairly safe for children (can't cause any deep cuts) and if you use if with care (and practice), and change the blade regularly, it makes clean and straight cuts.
I rate it so high, mainly because I think you're getting a pretty good quality for the price.
If you want the best, and don't want to have to be careful, get the cutterpede. It is a superior product. It's the next thing that'll go into my scrapping bag!
I really like it... February 16, 2007

This little item works very well, as long as you put enough pressure on the blade while youre sliding it. it will trim 2 pieces of cardstock at once, and very well at that.
*SIDENOTE*-
I just discovered today that the cutting slider button has broken off, and I have no idea where it's at, so I guess now I already gotta replace it. Only had it around 6 months. Bummer!

I have had this paper cutter for about 5 years. I use it for projects every few months, and it really hasn't held up to that much use. The blades aren't that sharp, and the shuttle that holds the blade is able to be angled/wiggled a little within its holder, which can easily lead to slightly crooked cuts if you're not really careful. This has been frustrating and wastes paper. The cutter is also unsuitable for scrapbookers or card makers who use 12"x12" paper regularly, as it's only large enough for 8.5"x11". I would recommend saving your money and purchasing a larger, better made guillotine or rotary cutter.
