Review on ✂️ Amazon Basics Deluxe Portable Paper Trimmer: Efficient Precision for Cutting on-the-go by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Don't expect accuracy.

I'm usually very happy with Revain Basics products and that has to be the first thing I don't like. Anyone expecting to be able to make precise line cuts with this thing will be disappointed. You can't align your work with marks because they aren't perpendicular to the blade. Photos 1 and 2 show 2 ends of the ruler. Notice how the straight edge deviates from the stitch edge. They also don't cut along a straight edge, but rather along a groove that's a little off the edge. If you have good lighting or good eyesight, you should focus on the eye. But that defeats the purpose of a straight edge and all the markings. Finally, there is a pull tab on the transparent part to help you lift. but it is only on one side. There is clearly room on the left for a similar tab, but this has been omitted.

Pros
  • Trimmers and paper blades
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
