Not Powerful Enough - Review written on June 16, 2008

But then again, what should I expect on a Gold Box Deal for ten bucks?
My overall opinion is that, "This thing is garbage." At least that's what I've said to my wife time and time again.
I bought it for one purpose: those molded, plastic packages that everything seems to come in these days. It does a decent job if you're cutting straight and if the plastic isn't thick. However, if you're trying to cut into a tight corner of the package or if there's any "meat" to the plastic, it just grinds to a halt. I have taken out my Cutco scissors more times that I should have needed since purchasing these.
I haven't used it for cardboard, but based on my experience with plastic, I doubt it would do much for corrugated board. I also haven't used it for paper products, but I'm sure it would suffice in most cases. It just doesn't do a good job on molded, plastic packaging.

I have a Mom that Sew's and craft's a bunch. She has an arsenal of scissors, so I needed to do something different. Click,scroll,scroll,ect! Found what I thought I wanted and did the price checking. Hmmm? $36........All the way down to $7!!! Yes, 5-fold!! Click, order,ect.
Got the product as fast as humanly possible( that included the post office! who didnt drop the ball either! ) Charged it up, and slice away!
These are the coolest cutting devices I've ever used. For doing patterns, garments, single and doubled layered items,ect. This probably isnt a heavy duty product, but for lighter projects, these are wonderful. And, they are unbelievable fast. Really fast. Don't get me wrong, I havent really abused these yet to know how heavy-duty they are, but, I think that they would fair just fine. These make cutting jobs fun,really.
