 X-CellentMar 10, 2009
By Wing Fat
I like to do paper crafts and have tried several different paper cutters over the years. This is the best cutter I have ever used.
I was concerned the laser feature would just be a gimmick, but it's not--it is dead-on accurate and makes lining up cuts completely fool-proof. The laser system turns off automatically to save batteries, and they thoughtfully included a set of AAA batteries in the box.
The main surface has a subtle non-stick feel to it which helps make lining up the paper easy and precise. The surface has a useful grid with markings for common paper sizes. There's a full ruler at the top of the unit which is also handy. The arm mechanism feels smooth and cuts are perfectly straight.
Another reviewer complained that this unit is made from plastic but I like that it is lightweight; it makes it easier to carry around, and it still feels very sturdy. There is a rubberized handle on the side that makes it easy to carry (be careful not to pick the unit up by the cutting handle because it could inadvertently come unlatched).
I have been using this cutter for a couple of weeks now and couldn't be happier. It's a little on the expensive side, but for precise, straight-line cuts I don't think there's anything better.

Good value for the moneyNov 25, 2008
By D. Hargreaves
I Bought this trimmer to cut holiday cards and to make my own business cards and it works very well for these projects. I wasn't sure if I would use the laser, but have found it to be a very useful feature for making multiple cuts on one piece of paper, such as business cards. The laser has an adjustment feature but I found it to be dead on right out of the box.
My only concern would be that this trimmer is made entirely out of plastic. It is very light weight and probably would not stand up to hard use, such as in a busy office. But for what I use it for it is excellent.

 Too flimsy for heavy useMar 30, 2009
By E. Ng
The laser alignment is very helpful, but this plastic version does not hold up to heavy usage. I've gone through two already, and each has lasted maybe 9 months. The parts that control the laser light switching on and off are extremely sensitive and can be easily dislodged permanently if you accidentally push the cutting lever down too hard. If that happens, that's the end of the trimmer. Very disappointing considering the cost. I am trying out the wood base version (which only costs about $6 more on amazon) to see if it holds up better.

The most accurate I've foundSep 12, 2011
By Patty Kaye
This X-acto Laser Trimmer made by Elmer's is the "new and improved" version of the old tried and true wooden paper cutters with the cutter arm. I was looking for something lighter weight and more accurate. After giving the newer rotary trimmers a try, I found them to be inaccurate and frustrating, often requiring several tries to get a finished cut. When I came across this 12-inch trimmer with the laser, my husband was skeptical. He has had hand tools with lasers that didn't live up to their accuracy claims. He was totally surprised that this laser feature was absolutely on the mark. There are several other features that make this trimmer a great product. The trimmer arm is locked in place (a good feature if you have little curious children) until you grasp the substantial, ergonomically-correct handle and push the large, easy-to-access button with your thumb. (I point these out because I think these are really helpful features they've obviously put some thought into and that make it so easy to use). When you lift the handle, the laser automatically comes on. When you lower it, it turns off and the handle locks back into place. The cutter is very sharp, and the action is smooth. The work surface has grids and common measurements and reminds me of one of those cutting mats you use for cutting fabric. Finally, the base is very sturdy and has rubbery corners so that the trimmer doesn't slide around. All in all, this is a very well-designed, well-made trimmer. I would definitely buy another one if this one ever wore out.

Value for moneyAug 31, 2009
By Megha Deora
The X-ACTO trimmer is a great tool- it comes in very handy for scrapbooking and also for any paper projects.. The laser feature is awesome- it helps you to cut precisely and decreases the chances of making errors. And the laser has an auto-shut off feature which will prolong its life! Also the base has grids marked all over which makes it easy to cut to the size you want! Its a good value for money.
