This is a great product for the beginning stamper. The pullout arm allows you to cut/score paper up to 12 inches and assures a cut that is not only straight, but plum--it does one no good to cut your paper straight, but angled. Another great feature is the convenience of being able to store your scoring blade right on your trimmer. This product is lightweight and portable, making this a staple of your basic kit. It is the best pricepoint for a trimmer that the shoppe would recommend.
