EK Success Rotary Paper Trimmer 12" (E5400046)

Accurate. Reliable. Sturdy. Lightweight and compact, easy to store or transport. The rotary blade, magnetic clamp, measurement grid, and replaceable cutting mat are all premium features at a value price. I’m not a “craftsy” person. I can’t cut a straight line with scissors. When an occasional work project requires paper cutting, this product makes the task quick and easy. Handles 4 pages per cut of mid-weight, 32lb, “premium presentation” paper. When not in use, it tucks away easily in a drawer in my home office. Great value for anyone who needs a quality product but doesn’t want to go all-in with a massive tabletop cutter. Highly recommend.

This paper cutter actually cuts, and doesn't tear paper like so many others. I have had this paper cutter in a different color for almost 15 years. I have replaced the cutting pads numerous times. I needed one for at home, since my original one made it to work (I'm a teacher). This is the BEST cutter I've ever used.

My favorite cutter for cutting one piece of paper at a time. Cuts come out square and right on the money each and every time. With most cutters that does not happen. I have other cutters for cutting multiple pieces of paper all at once so that is not a problem.

Trimmer was broken upon arrival. The magnet on the underside was not attached. I glued it in then lifted the arm and the plastic piece that holds it in place broke off. Ugh! I really liked the one I had previous so I ignored the ratings for this trimmer and ordered it anyway.

I like the lift up paper holder, as well as the small squares, which help you to align your paper appropriately.

This product is very well made and easy to use. I really like it.

Unfortunately the arm that extends out from the underside is only even when "straight out to the side" if you bend it at the joint, the bottom half pulls in farther than the top half which makes it hard to line up the paper. Does it work? Yes. Is it exactly what I wanted? No ... Will I keep looking until I find the right one, probably but not right away, I'll make this one work until I do some more research and buy one that may work better for me.

I've been searching for a replacement for an old fiskars rotary trimmer for the last 6-8 months. This was #4. Apparently 4 is the charm, I love this trimmer. It takes a little getting used to with lifting up the trimming arm but it's still the closest to perfect I've come. Honestly you can't go wrong.
