Things to note: first, this is the way I always use my trimmer – most people think it’s upside down because the numbers are upside down. You can see it better if you click on it. Sorry – I tried to show some detail but the tags are smaller than I thought they’d be. Fiskars has attempted to solve the blade wobble problem by inventing the triple track system: Pros for this trimmer – they’re inexpensive, they’re light weight, and they’re quick and easy to use. You still have the sharpen the pizza cutter every once in a while, but not nearly as often as you do a paring knife. You do have to change the blades on these trimmers much more frequently than the rotary style… think of the difference between keeping a pizza cutter sharp versus a paring knife. However, for me, the rest of the features make up for the very slight wobble you experience. Cons – These trimmers are not the most accurate in the world… the tracks wear down over time and spread apart as you pull, causing a little blade wobbliness. There clear “track” that the blade rests on has a little divot on one side that makes changing blades quick and easy… you literally pop the old one out and pop a new one in. The little orange square is the blade… it’s sharpened on both sides so as it gets dull you can flip it around. This trimmer works by pulling a stationary blade straight through your paper. So this is what I’m referring to when I say “standard” trimmer…

The blades in these trimmers are also slightly more complicated to change than with a standard trimmer, although that’s only important if you like to be speedy. Maybe that’s just what I’m comfortable with. At least for me – I’ve tried several versions of these and I always end up going back to a standard trimmer. Cons – They again are usually a little more expensive, it’s hard to see where you’re cutting sometimes, they’re bigger and bulkier and slower to use than the standard style paper trimmer. They do also have blades for scoring and perforating, which is nice if you’re not comfortable with paper folding or your making complicated folds. That’s a pretty cool feature that no other trimmer can claim. Some of them also come with blades that cut in patterns – like waves or scallops.

They’re also pretty sturdy and can cut slightly smaller pieces than the guillotine style trimmers.
