Perfect guillotine cutter.
Great guillotine paper cutter. Extremely sharp and cuts paper/cardstock perfectly. Able to cut several sheets at one time. Has great measurements marked and easily makes alignment for the size you need to cut.

Paper cutter
Does not trim or cut paper and does not leave a clean finish. Very disapointing.

Such a great tool!
I love this trimmer. I use it all day at work in my classroom. It’s light and easy to get out and put away all day whenever it’s needed. It easily cuts 5-6 sheets of copy paper at a time. Only drawback numbers are not highlighted with paint. I marked the usual inches where I cut often with a silver sharpie. Otherwise this paper trimmer is awesome. Can’t imagine my day w...

Surprisingly handy
I wasnt sure how often I would use this around the house until I had it, and now I use it at least a couple times a week for various things. Compact and easy to use, pretty accurate, all in all a great tool to have around.

Well made and reliable.
This paper cutter is well made with quality materials. The very sharp blade meets the business edge of the cutter with precision and without “give”. As with any such paper cutter, one must be mindful that larger stacks of paper must be held firmly in place during the cut in order to ensure a uniform cut through all sheets -exactly where you want it. I expect this pro...

Trimmer
The trimmer is flimsy and was not as expected for a medium duty trimmer.

Fantastic Trimmer
This paper trimming is amazing. It‘s lightweight yet cuts very accurately and has stayed sharp after over a year of DAILY use in my classroom. Between this trimmer and different scissors from Westcott my prep work is a breeze. Co-workers borrow this trimmer and very often comment how great it worked when they return it.

Does the job!
This is a great size for a desktop guillotine. It handles a standard paper size, yet it's not so huge that it takes up the entire workspace. There are rubber feet so it doesn't slip, and it sits solidly - no wobbling. The blade is super sharp, and there is a convenient well at the top of the guillotine to hold paper clips. Very satisfied with this product.

Easiest Trimmer I've EVER used!
When I first picked up this trimmer I was very surprised. It is very light-weight. I was anxious to see if it would cut the way I needed it too. I was not disappointed. My paper were straight and the blade cut very easily. If you want a trimmer that is easy to move and will cut pictures, paper, etc. easily I recommend it.

Great for at home or in the classroom!
The guillotine trimmer is lightweight which is great if you need to move it from room to room or travel with it. I used it at home to trim some scrapbook paper. The 12 inch size fit the paper perfectly. It sliced nice and clean. The safety lock is very secure so the blade did not move or slip when moving it around or removing it from the box. It also has a finger g...

Great for small home crafts!
This guillotine trimmer is good for home craft and paper projects. I found that it works best with 5-7 sheets of standard computer paper at a time. The main problem for me the ruler, but I just measure by grid marks and it makes even cuts. I will use it for making my own gift tags.

Great quality for plastic
It was a nice surprise ti find the quality to be right up there on an item that is light weight and plastic. I was expecting the weight to be a negative and it isn't, in fact it's a positive and was able to cut through about 10 sheets of paper without any of the sheets wandering or the trimmer wanting to fly off.

Nice features! I like the easy light weight size!
I’m enjoying my multi purpose cutter! It’s easy
To use and transport! So I can use it at home and in my class room at school! The one thing I would recommend is that the measurement line be a different color (easier to read)!

It will cut!
Decent paper cutter. I cut a lot paper for my art students so we put it through the paces. Time will tell how it holds up though. Just some initial thoughts: Handle is built really close to the shearing edge which is nice. Very minimal gap and the paper doesn't slip while cutting. The finger guard is a little to low for cutting 10 sheets of paper. I comfortably cut 6-8 ...
