CRICUT INC 2006747 CRICUT Trimmer 12 DK Gray, Assorted

Great product for the moneyI looked at a lot of different cutters before I decided on this one and I’m glad I chose this one it’s very easy to use the blade is very nice and straight and the thickness of the blade is great cutting is very easy and precise

If it’s your first time using one of these and you get one half of the paper is bigger than the other, check that the size of the paper is correct. Mine was actually 8.7 x 11! So check that your measurements are correct and I think you will find this to be extremely useful and really handy for many projects :) I have not found any difficulties with it yet.

Love this item makes cutting prefect

I could not be happier with this trimmer! I got it for cutting card bases after struggling with a Fiskars version that cost more than twice the price of this cutter. I have purchased and been happy with many fine Fiskars products but using the extended arm on the trimmer I had gave me crooked cuts most of the time. so frustrating! I saw a review of this trimmer on a video and gave it a try. Very lightweight but this cuts straight! No more wasted expensive cardstock! I use heavyweight cardstock and it cuts beautifully. Blades are replaceable and I have already ordered replacements to have on hand. Im so very pleased with the performance of this mighty trimmer and the low cost is an added bonus.

It is very convenient and I use it a lot. Would order agin and will recommend it to friends.

Item arrived on time but it was obviously opened by someone. Don’t know if it was returned by another customer, but, disappointing to give as a gift to someone.

I love this trimmer. The grid and measurement guides, are extremely helpful when cutting vinyl.

UPDATE 2/5/22: Rigged up C clamp with self-stick felt pads on the clamping parts and am using that to hold down the clear bar at the near end. So far it seems to work well to keep the paper from slipping. (Still prefer the old green one but it is what it is.) ORIGINAL REVIEW 12/26/21: Had the older green Cricut portable trimmer and loved it, but could not get replacement blade for it. Bought a Signature “Recollections” trimmer and hated it. Could not get an accurate cut. This one is ok but unlike my old one, the guide piece that holds the blade does not lock down so you have to hold it down firmly with one hand while cutting with the other. Since my right hand doesn’t work well (stroke) this isn’t easy. But my project is finished so no need to experiment with taping or something to hold it more firmly. Also it slightly scratched the glossy surface of photos, but another customer said she fixed that problem by using a cover sheet. Wish I could get blades to fit my old green Cricut! Now THERE was a trimmer.

Makes cutting vinyl easy.

Nice product
