New Fiskars Trimmer + BIG Giveaway!

01.30.13

There is one tool all crafters need more than anything else: A really good paper trimmer.

Today, I have a video sharing my favorites – including the new big momma Fiskars ProCision Trimmer….


Here are the products I feature…

The ProCision trimmer really is amazing. It is heavy duty, but does not sacrifice precision and fine cutting…


That blade? That blade cuts like butter. Even through many layers.


I have the Procision Trimmer sitting on my side desk and use it on every card. But I still have my ol’ favorite SureCut Trimmer right in the thick of things on my workspace. It is smaller and good for quick cuts while I am in crafting action…


I still love that wire guide. It is perfect for cutting out strips of already-stamped greetings. I know people have said the wire has frayed on them, but I have several of these trimmers and use them daily and it has never happened to me. (Fiskars has great customer service, btw!)


I know many people like guillotine-style trimmers. However, with kids around (and the fact that I am clumsy), I don’t feel comfortable with them.

So there you have it – the tale of two great trimmers.

* I was not asked to do this post by Fiskars. I did it because I finally found trimmers I love and wanted to share my discoveries. I get asked about trimmers quite often. *


And since I like to share, how about giving one of the big bad momma paper trimmers to a lucky winner? Just leave a comment here by Saturday at 11:59pmEST for your chance to win a Fiskars ProCision Paper Trimmer! Good luck.

  10. Thanks for the demo, starting to save my pennies now. I have the very old fiskars and it takes a beating and has hung in there for ten years now. Might be time to upgrade. TFS.

  13. Ive always been a great fan of Fiskars products in particular their range of paper trimmers. Yes, there are others on the market including Dahle and Fellowes but for me personally I always revert back to Fiskars 🙂

    Love the demo video too, thanks Jennifer!

  14. Hi Jennifer, I am on the hunt for a new paper trimmer and am torn between the ProCision and the Cutterpillar. Now that you have had the opportunity to use it for a long period of time are you still as happy it as you were in Jan 2013? Thanks in advance if you are able to answer. [email protected]

  15. Jennifer, I just watched your wonderful video about the Fiskars paper cutters. Thank you! I have one of the SU guillotine paper cutters, and I like it, but I am interested in the light. However, I also like the Fiskars wire guide trimmer (which it seems from the comment to Kittie that you like) because of being able to cut to a certain measurement, rotate the paper and then cut in another direction (to save nice DP). I was wondering whether the plastic guides have started to loosen and given you any trouble with cutting a really straight edge? Thanks so much, and I really love your work and your videos!

  18. I need to replace my paper trimmer and I really like this one, especially the fact that the blade doesn’t need to be replaced. But there are other fine features as well. Thanks for showing this.

  19. I have been thinking of purchasing a guillotine trimmer but with a new grandchild on the way you convinced me this trimmer is the way to go. Thanks for doing this demo I like to know about products before I purchase them. Love your blog.

  22. I have the smaller trimmer but the ProCision Trimmer looks like just what I need to prep for my classes where I would really love to cut through multiple layers at a time. Fiskars brand everything I use has been very good quality. I need to depend on my tools to preform. I would love to win this new trimmer. Purrfection Crafter, Mary Gene .

  23. Hi Jennifer. I am just starting out in this wonderful world of craft. I love, love, love it and have made some awesome things. I do have a small Fiskar Cutter, but for some reason every time I cut, with it, it will not cut straight. I am getting frustrated, and am using more cardstock than necessary. Therefore I would love to be chosen for this wonderful new FISKAR, so I may grow and enjoy my crafting even more.

  24. Hi Jennifer, first off love watching your videos. You do awesome cards! I know this was posted 3 yrs. ago but I’m a new card maker and I just bought the sure cut trimmer and I’m having problems with it cutting through my 110#cardstock it bends the edges and leaves it frayed. Ugh I called fiskars their sending out new blades . Wondering if you could help out, is this a common problem with the sure cut? Would love your response thx. From one sister in the Lord to another. God Bless you and your family. Sandra S.

  30. I currently have 6 trimmers (including 2 fiskars) on/under my desk and not a single one cuts straight! I’ve had a few others as well and I just haven’t found one that cuts straight. I have not tried the wire one, but to be honest, I’m much more interested in the bar cutter. It seems to me that that would keep the blade straight. I’d rather have a bigger and bulkier cutter that cuts straight than smaller or trendier cutters. And I’m sure it would take up less space than the 6 others I have surrounding me.

  31. Great video and just what I needed since I am in the market for a new heavier trimmer. Love all the features you mentioned, especially the never-need-to-replace blade and the fact it can cut such tiny edges!

  32. I have used an old guillotine cutter. I recently need some replacement supplies. I finally called the company and was told that it had been discontinued and the supplies were no longer available. They did, however, send me a new rotary blade at no cost. So, you see I need a new paper cutter! Thanks!!

  34. I love Fiskars anything. I had to return an punch and it was replaced no questions asked. They stand behind their products no matter what they are.

  35. Hi Jennifer, thank you for the informative video.
    Do you have any issues with the “ProCision Trimmer” not being level on the extended side? I saw a video where the person said it was out by an eight of an inch when cutting any piece of paper/cardstock, lager than the 6″ mark? This was because the hinge underneath made the “ProCision Trimmer” have a bow in the middle where the trimmer folded up. I have looked at a few other video’s and no one else mentioned it. Thank you again.
