Very disappointing
By RoseVerified Reviewer from Philadelphia, PA on 7/1/2008
Cons:
Cuts Crooked, Dull Blade, Not a true scoring blade
Describe Yourself:
Value Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Swingline® SmartCut™ 12" Dial-A-Blade™ Rotary Paper Trimmer:

Within 10 minutes of taking this product out of its box, I wrapped it back up, put it back in the box, and am returning it to the store. This product was terribly disappointing. First, it does not make a straight cut (which alone is unacceptable), and a few of the passes I took did not cut any paper at all. The scoring blade does not actually score the paper, and though the product says that you can cut/score a number of pages at a time, I don't see how that can be true. Again, there were a few passes I took with the trimmer that failed to cut anything (despite pressing down on the blade, which is required). I also found the measuring guides to be insufficient; there was nothing to hold the paper in place; and it would be very difficult to make small precision cuts. Overall, there is really nothing I liked about this product. I would recommend steering clear of it altogether, and I would even recommend that Staples remove the product from its inventory. It is useless.

Comments about Swingline® SmartCut™ 12" Dial-A-Blade™ Rotary Paper Trimmer:

This product was in use for cutting promotional documents for the company I work for...I could only cut one page per time to avoid mistakes, the clear guard near the blade magnifies the paper and makes it hard to make a clean-cut, the cutter itself is VERY flimsy, and sways from side to side during cutting so that it is almost impossible to make a straight cut.

Comments about Swingline® SmartCut™ 12" Dial-A-Blade™ Rotary Paper Trimmer:

I've used so many different types of cutters but this one is by far the best. The pluses to this cutter are the folder and the perforating blade options. It helps me fold our brochures better. So far it cuts the paper very well. It's light weight, making it easy to transport from home to work.

Comments about Swingline® SmartCut™ 12" Dial-A-Blade™ Rotary Paper Trimmer:

I am a minister and personally bought this cutter to cut bulletin inserts, etc. - but also so that my children could use it for school presentation projects. Unfortunately, it was the only paper cutter the one and only office supply store in our small town had in stock. It will not cut straight! The only reason why I'm keeping it, despite how expensive it was, is that I don't worry about my children cutting themselves with it. But I am saving up to buy a REAL paper cutter just as soon as I can!
