The product is very neat however it has some drawbacks and tricks.The drawbacks:1- The blades break extremely easily! They are cheaply made and absolutely anything and everything can break them. The key for it is to anytime you are not using the cutter (and I mean even if you are just switching papers) place the blade in the safe dock to avoid them to break. Also, to cut the paper (cardstock is what I have been cutting) you do not need too much pressure. Very light pressure will not cut the paper and too much pressure will break the blade, therefore you got find a medium amount of pressure to apply in order to get a good cut and keep the blade intact. A very important thing: DO NOT cut any paper if the blade is broken, this will give you uneven and smaller pieces than what you were expecting. In the positive side the blades are cheap to replace.2 - The sheath of the blade is great to protect the blade but is awful to come off! I have cut my fingers quite a few times while trying to unsheath the blade. And the cuts are no joke, they were very deep and hard to stop the bleeding. Be very careful when unsheathing the blade because it is not as easy as said in the manual and you can get hurt very easily.3 - The smallest size of circles that can make are 4", which on my opinion is a bit of a drag. I wish it could make smaller circles as well as.Besides these 3 points in the overall is a very good and neat cutter for the price.
