Rating the Swingline SmartCut EasyBlade 8812 Rotary Trimmer

In addition to their famous staplers,
Swingline makes tools that make cutting paper easy. One of their
products is the SmartCut EasyBlade 8812. Here's some information about
it, including the rating it gets on a scale of 1 to 10.

• The 8812 has a cutting length of 12 inches. This is the
  perfect length for letter-sized paper that measures 8.5” x 11”. You can
  also use this trimmer to cut smaller sheets as well as photographs. You
  can even use it to trim thin cardstock if you want.
• This
  trimmer can cut up to 10 sheets of paper at a time. This is a decent
  cutting capacity if you're planning on using this device for smaller
  jobs, but it probably won't do for large amounts of paper. It would take
  too much time to cut a lot of sheets. (And it would be kind of
  tedious.)
• The 8812 has a cutting line indicator that makes it
  easy to see just where exactly your paper is going to be trimmed.
  There's also a transparent paper guide. These features will help you get
  the right cut every time. However, there isn't a paper clamp, so you'll
  want to hold your materials as you cut them.
• If you find
  that your need to measure your materials before trimming them, you can
  use the 8812's alignment grid and ruler. The grid is printed right on
  the base of the cutter which is really convenient. The ruler has both
  standard and metric measurement units.
• The blade for this
  device is tucked away in a plastic cartridge. The cartridge helps
  conceal the blade as well as keep it away from your hands so you can
  stay safe. Plus, the cartridge is easy to change out when the blade gets
  too dull.
• The 8812 has a self-healing cutting mat which is
  made out of plastic while the alignment grid is made out of brushed
  aluminum. This helps make the device durable so you'll be able to get a
  lot of use out of it. Plus, it will stay put when you use it because it
  has non-skid rubber feet on the bottom.
• Finally, this trimmer
  comes with a one-year warranty and it's affordable. It costs less than
  $70.00 which is a great deal for a product branded with the Swingline
  name.

Rating: 9.
