Review: lightweight but mighty!!!! - This cutter is very, very lightweight. BUT,,,,it DOES the job!! I had been using a VERY,,,VERY old one - from the 50's. This one is longer,,,so,,,it takes the entire 11" and more. Cuts like butter. I am most pleased with this product. Decided on Swingline as we're used their products in the past with no issues.
Review: PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY OFFICE USE! - I recently purchased the Swingline Paper Cutter LITE, and I couldn't be more pleased with its performance. As someone who frequently works with large volumes of paper, I needed a reliable and easy-to-use cutter, and this one truly delivers. Pros: Precision Cutting – The blade cuts through paper with impressive precision, leaving clean, straight edges every time. It's perfect for documents, photos, and even cardstock. Lightweight & Compact – Unlike many other paper cutters that are bulky and heavy, the Swingline LITE is lightweight, making it easy to move around and store. It’s also compact enough to fit on any desk without taking up too much space. Safety Features – The built-in safety features, like the automatic blade lock, are fantastic. I appreciate that the blade is shielded, preventing accidental cuts—definitely a must-have for those with kids or in a busy office environment. Easy to Use – The cutting mechanism is smooth and effortless. Whether you're slicing through a single sheet or stacking a few pages, the cutter handles both with ease. The clear, easy-to-read measurements on the base help ensure accurate cuts every time. Durability – I’ve been using this cutter daily for several weeks now, and it’s held up beautifully. The materials feel sturdy, and the cutting arm still operates smoothly. Cons: The cutting capacity is a bit limited (it can handle about 10 sheets at a time), so if you're working with higher volumes of paper, you might need a more industrial cutter. However, for typical office or home use, it’s more than adequate. Overall: The Swingline Paper Cutter LITE is an excellent choice for anyone who needs a reliable, user-friendly cutter for everyday tasks. It’s perfect for light to moderate use in an office or at home. The balance of affordability, functionality, and safety makes it a great investment. I highly recommend it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If you were to take the cutter arm off, would it make a good improvised anti-zombie weapon?**
A: Depends on how much you'd used the cutter prior to the uprising. It's not quite strong enough to cut bone but you might have a fair shot going for the eyes or throat.

**Q: Could I use this to cut card stock (say three sheets of the thickness of index cards)?**
A: Not more then one sheet of card stock. I woke at a restaurant and it’s not capable of cutting more then one piece of 65lb cardstock for our menus without causing fraying of the edge. Not very professional.

**Q: Would this work well for cutting cardboard, like cardboard used for shipping packages? Thanks**
A: In response to your question, I took a heavy cardboard box that had been used to ship produce and tried to cut it. I cut the cardboard into several pieces and it cut smoothly but with a slight resistance (a little more force than with plain paper). Accordingly, within the dimensions of the cutting board and guard, you should have no problems.

**Q: Is the blade self-Sharpening?**
A: The package plainly states: Self-Sharpening Blade
