The blade wobbles back and forth in the blade track. Makes for crooked cuts. Very frustrating.

I personally LOVE this trimmer, and I've used quite a few. It does take some work to get perfect 90 degree angles, but I have gotten used to it. I love the clear ruler/cutting track, and the blades, when sharp, are great.

I use it all the time. I tried to adjust for the crooked cutting. But for the size and ease of use I would suggest you have it.

Does cut crooked if you are not careful
|
|
I love my trimmer but I have found that if you are leaning on the cutter as you are dragging it or if you are going too quickly that it will cut crooked. I do like it though and use it a lot. I just have to watch when I'm cutting to make sure I get a straight line.

Had this for 3 years and loved it until I bought the new version. This one can cut crooked if not careful!

Pros:

simple to use
|
|
Cons:
|
not acurate- cutting guide has too much play
|
|
I have had two of these over the past four years- they both started losing their accuracy very quickly. This cutter isn't made real well and the guide gets loose, making a crooked cut or a notch at the end of your cut. I'm looking for another one.

Can cut crooked
|
|
I wish I had read these reviews before buying this cutter. If you are very careful to use a light touch, keep up with replacement blades and cut toward you instead of away, this will be an ok cutter. I have mine in my cropping bag as a backup. I would recommend this to be used as a back up or for crops. But Definitely NOT as a primary cutter!

Cheap replacement blades

Cons:

Cuts crooked
|

I have 2 (large and small) and do use them, even tho I have a better cutter, but you have to be real carefull or it cuts crooked, whether the blades are sharp nor not. If the blades were expensive I wouldn't bother with them anymore.

Doesn't always cut straight lines

I find that it doesn't always cut straight line; especially if you put a little too much pressure. The blades dull very quickly.

Pros:
|
affordable, great for beginners, travels well
|
|
Cons:
|
cuts crooked at times
|
|
It's a great tool for novice to semi-intermediate scrapbookers. It does cut crooked at times, so one must be careful about measurement. It is affordable and travels well, though.
