Rotary or guillotine: which paper trimmer should I buy?
Reviewer consensus
Across the cardmaking and scrapbooking communities we read, the rough consensus is that rotary trimmers (Fiskars, Carl) give the cleanest, most repeatable straight cuts on one or two sheets at a time and are preferred for crafting; guillotine trimmers (Swingline, X-ACTO) win when you need to cut a stack of paper, photos or cardstock quickly. Heavy crafters often own both.
