WAAAY BETTER THAN SCISSORS
I thought the scissors were good - AND THEY WERE/ARE - but this cutter gives an even "flare" that scissors/free hand just can't deliver.
Nice addition
Not to big
Quiet use - does not sound like a beheading when I raise the blade
Cuts thick paper nicely
Great for small graphic projects
Glad I got it... makes huge difference

Perfect for small jobs
This is perfect for my needs. Sharp cutting, light weight. If you need to process large amounts, you may prefer to have a more heavy duty one. For my once or twice a month, 10 to 20 sheets, this is perfect.

Not worth the price.
Jammed on the first cut of 10 sheets. It literally couldn't slice through while my older cutter can still do 15 sheets. I would like to say you get what you pay for but at this price and with the Swingline name I guess I was just expecting it to work. Look elsewhere.

Have wanted one of these forever!!
This is a GREAT tool. For years, in order to make a straight cut I’ve had to measure, connect dots and hope my hand was steady with the scissors. This very affordable paper cutter does a perfect job in time flat! It is sturdy but not too heavy, and will work wonderfully for my project needs. I recommend!

Paper cutter works great!
This paper trimmer was easy to set up, only had one piece to snap onto the handle and it was ready to go. Easy to use, very smooth operation. Nice neat cuts

not as handy as it's cut out to be
This was in our office before I started -- so almost two years old -- I noticed right away it's slippery / slides around because it's so lightweight AND, I'm sad to share, it doesn't cut straight :( Initially, I thought I was doing something incorrectly (really, how could I mess it up), I even tried strong arming the arm to get it as close to the board as possible, but ...

Cuts great, but flimsy
The blade is very sharp and cuts very precisely using the ruler and grid. However, the overall unit is all plastic except the cutting blade so it feels very flimsy. It has a 10 year warranty on it, but I don't foresee it lasting that long. If it drops or gets bumped hard enough, I can see it cracking or chipping easily.
Let's think positive.

Good size for small office
This works well for our small office to save on space. Blade is sharp and we can cut 10 pages at a time or 5 pages of cardstock.

works great
Only cuts about 8-10 sheets at a time to keep them straight but cuts smooth and the locking blade is a nice feature

1/2 Decent
Worked great at first but then the bottom 2/3 started cutting crooked. Blades are still sharp and have a tight fit but for some reason are cutting crooked.
