Review on πŸ“ 12-Inch American Crafts Cutup Portable Craft Paper Trimmer with Enhanced SEO by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good enough for the price

I bought this as a sort of beginner's trimmer when I first got back into scrapbooking. It is quite suitable for this purpose. Compact, easy to use, provides a clean and sharp cut. Well, as long as the blade is sharp. It dulls fairly quickly, and while replacement blades have been a little hard to come by, they're also inexpensive. Be careful not to let small scraps of paper get caught in the blade guides; After a while, fluffy trimmings will accumulate and cause the blade to bind, which can lead to tearing of the paper. Just keep it clean and you'll be fine. Overall I'm very happy with this little guy, but I have one big doubt. I use this to crop photos/paper to PL size, so many 3 inch pieces. Hinge that the arm is laid out on is on the RIGHT side where the 3 inch mark should be. For example in the middle of a rotating part. There are 2" and 4" marks on the ruler, but there aren't many divisions between them, including the 3" line. It's IMPOSSIBLE to cut a piece of paper down to 3"! Gr!

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
