Ecraft Paper Trimmer: 4 Style Multi-Function Scrapbooking Tool With Dial Blades for Straight, Wave, Dotted, Perforated, Creasing Cuts - for Coupons, Photos, Postcards, Scrapbook, Card

Seems very good, just a bit flimsy, it may not last very long!!

SHORT FORM I bought this cutter to trim promotional postcards for my husband’s short film, to be given out at a film festival. It worked to get the job done to cut out 100 postcards. The first 30-40 were pretty smoothly trimmed. After that point there was a noticeable decline in cut cleanliness, and some more jagged edges. (I wish I’d taken some photos of the stacks to show what I mean, but, ah well). Ultimately, it worked for what I needed to do in a pinch, and you get what you pay for ($8.79 on Prime Day). DETAILED Between test prints and final prints, I used this cutter on around 60 pieces of 250gsm matte photo paper, 260gsm glossy photo paper and plain copy paper, with each piece of paper needing at least 6 cuts (2 postcards per paper). So, after around 360 cuts on thick paper, how did and how is the trimmer performing? The cuts started out relatively smooth and clean for the first 20 pieces of paper (120 cuts), but got noticeably less clean afterward. Every so often I would use a brush to clean off paper residue from the blade and from the blade-well, which helped little at improving cut smoothness. The blade seems to dull very quickly. There was a slight work around, of varying the pressure when pressing down on the blade holder to use parts of the blade that got less wear. However this is not a good workaround, since if you don’t press hard enough, it won’t cut all the way through anyway. (Attached to this review, I’m including a video of how the cuts look at this point, without switching out the blade) For cut accuracy, the margin of error is about 0.125-0.25cm, which is pretty significant if you’re trimming with a standard trim/bleed size of ⅛”. The extendable side ruler is also completely useless for maintaining right-angle cuts. It hyperextends just too far past what would make a straight line down the side, and is very wobbly, so getting that 90º cut with it was impossible. I had a better time eyeing it and using the grid printed on the cutter. I know these are very specific, granular gripes. If you are using this for casual crafting, this is probably a great cheap tool to get. But if you want or need that needlepoint accuracy and the smooth cuts for a large quantity, it may be better to invest in something more substantial. Still a good tool though. Again, you get what you pay for.

Cumple con todas sus funciones, aunque se atora un poco y siento que tiene poco filo que no sé si sería reemplazable en el futuro.

Easy to use, value for money.

使い勝手もいいし、買って本当に良かったです！仕事で重宝しました。
