I design cards and stationery, and was looking for a quick way to trim greeting cards since for some reason I was silly enough to trim them with an exacto knife and ruler before.

I wanted something inexpensive that was durable enough to cut through cardstock. This does just that.
Now, I am also a visual arts high school teacher, and we have the heavy-duty wooden paper cutters that literally don't move - so when I got this one in the mail I was thrown off by how 1. It was incredibly light and 2. It's incredibly made of plastic.

It WILL MOVE AROUND on you if you don't hold it firmly down in place because of how lightweight it is.
On the other hand, it does what it needs to do - trims 2-3 sheets of cardstock (110lb) at once with a nice sharp edge and perfectly 90 degrees...not crooked at all. Very precise

Actually, this even cut through a piece of medium weight chipboard that I had very crisp and easily. However, DID NOT cut through 6 separate sheets of cardstock though without getting jammed up. Unfortunately, this cutter is not heavy-duty enough for that. Keeping it to < 3 sheets or less for precision purposes.

I'd say for the price and for what it does, as long as you're not cutting more than a couple sheets at a time, this cutter will do well.
