subject: Five Great Cutting Tools For Personal Use [print this page] Having a cutting tool is necessary even when you just plan on using it for personal reasons. Whether you want to clip coupons, do crafts such as scrapbooking, or need to wrap presents for the holidays, you need something that can help you cut paper and other items such as photographs. Here are five great cutting tools that are perfect for personal use at home and elsewhere....
1.) Dahle Vantage Scissors. Dahle makes a wide range of cutting devices and their Vantage Scissors are perfect for personal use. They're very well-made but still affordable and they come in three different lengths: 5", 6", and 8". The blades are made from rust-proof ground steel and the handles are contoured so they'll fit comfortably in your hand.
2.) Xyron Personal Paper Trimmer. This product is a great, affordable personal trimmer. It can cut items that are up to 9 inches long, such as paper that measures 8.5" x 11". This product can be used on its own but it's also fully compatible with the Xyron Model 900 Creative Station Laminator. There are blade refills available for this device and it will grip the surface you're working on for a more accurate cut.
3.) Dahle 9" Personal Rolling Trimmer. This trimmer is lightweight and is small enough for you to use just about anywhere. It has a 9-inch cutting length and the self-sharpening blade travels both up and down for easier cutting. The blade is encased in plastic for your safety but it's also sharp enough to cut both paper and photographs. (It can trim up to 7 sheets of paper at once.) The base of this trimmer has both metric and standard measurements, as well as a protractor so you can make angled cuts.
4.) Swingline SmartCut 12" Dial-A-Blade Rotary Trimmer. The Dial-A-Blade offers straight, wavy, and scoring cuts. To switch between styles, you just need to turn a knob, no blade-changing required. This trimmer can cut up to 5 sheets of paper at once. It has two measurement guides (metric and standard) so your cuts will be more accurate. Plus, this cutter looks great and is lightweight (1.2 pounds) so you can take it along with you to school or to a crafting party.
5.) Swingline ClassicCut Lite 12" Guillotine Cutter. Finally, there's this Swingline guillotine cutter. It can cut up to 10 sheets of paper at a time and it's also great for trimming photographs and cardstock. (This product has a cutting length of 12 inches.) The blade is self-sharpening and can be secured in the "down" position for safety. Plus, the base of this cutter is made of plastic that's durable but still light enough so you can move the unit around when necessary. This trimmer has an incredibly lengthy ten-year limited warranty.
Whether you prefer a handy pair of scissors or a high-quality guillotine cutter, these products can help you cut whatever you need to cut. So get one of these cutting tools today and start trimming!
