Spellbinders 12" Paper Trimmer, White

I use this mainly for the scoring feature. It is easy to align and scores perfectly. But, I have also used it to make a partial cut in my cardstock... which I cannot do with my guillotine trimmer. I appreciate that it is so lightweight.

Functionality

This is a great trimmer and does double duty. If the Spellbinders name is on it, you can be guaranteed that it is a quality product.

I really do like this trimmer! I like that I don't have to open it to cut cardstock for a card, as I have limited space on my desk. It seems that certain paper frays, but I fault the paper not the trimmer. One thing I am not happy about is, if you don't move the blade back away from the blade cartridge entrance on the trimmer the blade cartridge will fall out. Its happened to to me several times. I just need to remember to move the blade cartridge back up and away from the opening. . Another thing is that the clear acrylic arm has a tendency to unsnap away from the trimmer. Maybe I'm being picky, but it's annoying to have to snap it back in place. I wanted this trimmer as my main trimmer, but unfortunately it'll just have to be a part of my trimmer stash. I would still give it a good rating because it had the features that I wanted.

I tried Fiskers, Cricut 13"Sizzix, WE R Keepers and this is the best by far.

This trimmer is awesome. It’s easy to use but also very accurate. Love it!

I have so many trimmers that fulfill most of my trimming needs but I love that this one has the score blade as well as cutting blade. It feels very sturdy when cutting (even on an uneven surface piled on top of card stock and the usual) and I love that it also has a nice secure corner on it so I can square up my card to fold exactly.All in all I grade this trimmer a 9.5/10. The .5 demerit is because with a gutter under the blade, it leaves an edge on the card that you need to flatten with a bone folder.

Was already cracked before I opened it but it still works ok. Not perfect. I do like that you can also use it for scoring.
