I bought this to make packaging for keychains for my online shop. I cut many sheets of cardstock as well as light cardboard. I even used it as a wire cutter, although that isn't the intended purpose of the product. While reading some low reviews, I feel like these people expecting too much. Immediately after opening the product, I noticed it was super lightweight and made entirely of plastic, meaning it shouldn't be dealt with too roughly: 2-3 sheets of cardstock at a time, or maybe 5-7 sheets of regular printer paper.The protection guard came in handy, but I think the lock mechanism for the blade is in too awkward of a position. I had to be super cautious locking and unlocking the blade, because the mechanism just doesn't come out or go in smoothly.Overall, this product does the job for the price that I paid, and for what it is.If I had the space, I would get a more study, and larger paper trimmer, but this works very well in terms of portability and for my small desk space.
