Finding the Perfect Paper Trimmer

[alacarde]

What are everyone's thoughts on their favorite paper trimmer. I've tried several and am about to bite the bullet and spend over $100 on one, but would like some input Also, has anyone used the Spellbinder Wizard?

I love the Cutterpede by EK Success. I think it averages around $25. You don't get the wavy line like you do with the Fiskars trimmer. It has a magnetic clip so your paper won't slip. The arm folds out for measuring and also bends to get a 6x6 cut.

Are you looking for a heavy duty trimmer? If you are a SU demo there is this company that gives us a huge discount (like 1/2 off). Check out their site.

If you are looking for a regular trimmer, I love my fiskers 12".

Thanks for the input so far. I'm looking at a Carl DC-238 which is pretty heavy duty. I used to be a demonstrator, but I do still have a downline that could possibly order for me. I'll check out that website. So far the best price I've found is 125.00 with no tax or shipping. Would like to do better, though.

I use the Fiskars new one - with the triple track - cuts much better than the old gray and orange one. But I'm a demo, and also have the heavy-duty Carl Cutter (the 18" one, but if I was doing it again, I'd get the 12" one).

One warning: the heavy-duty Carl Cutters do *not* make a cut less than 2 inches. They are awesome for cutting lots of cardstock fast - but only the big cuts. You still need your Fiskars (or Cutterpede or whatever other brand you have) to take off that 1/4" for layering, or for your small cuts.

Thanks to those who responded. I went ahead and ordered the DC-238 through my demo friend. We were both able to get one at a great price. The owner of Everafter Arts is great!
