Leaves a dent on anything you cut

generally very happy with most of the Revain branded items. I have no idea what went wrong with this product. I got this paper cutter for a few different uses, and for most of them it's pretty much useless. Everything he cuts leaves a dent in the paper. It also cuts unevenly and crookedly because it pulls hard on the paper. Before that I used paper cutters at work so I don't think it's user error. Just save yourself the hassle and go with a brand. Unless you want all of the edges of your papers

Pros
  • Sturdy plastic base with 1/2" (0.5" x 0.5") white grid lines and printed ruler (in inches and cm) for sure alignment and accurate cuts
Cons
  • High price

Great paper cutter at a good price

I know paper cutters shouldn't be used for this but I figured if I screwed up for the price it wouldn't be a huge loss to many plastic and aluminum minis -Blinds that I wanted to turn into seedling identifiers. I cut them out with a paper cutter. I've cut literally thousands of them and the cutter is still fine. In fact, I accidentally touched the blade, cut myself, and bled everywhere, even after severing hundreds of aluminum fins with it. long time. Only downside - wish it was heavier so it…

Pros
  • Measures 17.7 x 14 x 2.6 in; weighs 1 pound; Backed by Amazon Basics 1 year limited warranty
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

didn't like this trimmer

I didn't like this trimmer. I didn't like the safety manual either. Regular copier paper does not cut straight. It left an uncut end when I folded a sheet of copy paper and tried to trim it to the right width. This trimmer worked on a 50/50 basis. I tried to cut three pieces of regular carbon paper (20lb) and it cut the first time. The second time I tried three pieces, it didn't work and left tails that I had to cut off with scissors. I used it on 140 lb card and it cut very well. I didn't like

Pros
  • Cleanly cuts up to 10 sheets of 20 lb paper at a time; sharp enough to cleanly cut cardstock, colored paper, photos and more
Cons
  • Available in white only
