🔪 Carbotitanium Trimmer with Wood Base - Westcott 15" Guillotine Review

This was bought so my mum could cut her bingo cards (she used to cut them by hand with scissors). This Westcott wood base version cuts great! We tried a few cheaper plastic cutters from other manufacturers, but they weren't as strong or durable on the table. Also, the stiffer wood base allowed us to make smoother, straighter cuts compared to the cheaper and more flexible plastic base we had previously tried. The materials used for this cutter are of high quality and the blade is very sharp!

Yes, they played an important role in the French Revolution, helping to mechanize the phrase "Chop off their heads!" But you, too, can recreate the golden age of mechanized blades with the 15" Westcott Guillotine Wood Base Carbotitanium Trimmer. Scraps of paper, postcards, or light cardboard, this is the tool to go. It's much easier to clean than the original French unit, and will appeal to most users shouldn't have these lingering moral qualms the next morning.

The best choice for me. Great value for money for a solid paper cutter/trimmer with a nice wooden worktop and protective case. I needed a weighted trimmer similar to the ones I like to use in the office and at school. But they all seemed out of my reach. I have a few lightweight plastic trimmers that I tell myself are now for other, more specialized uses, but I probably bought them because I didn't think I could afford the real ones. This is now my go-to for everything else, big and small…
