Comments about Martin Yale Premier Heavy Duty Trimmers:

I ordered the Martin Yale Premier stak cutter because of the description and the sale price. I was surprised when my cutter arrived within five days after I ordered it. After trying it out, I was ecstatically happy. It has made cutting mats and paper a breeze. The measurements are large, easy to read and include measurements using the metric system. There is even a second row of numbers closer to the person cutting. If your eye sight is like mine and not the best, this is a great addition to insure accurate measuring. The base is sturdy and aesthetically appealing and gives the cutter more stability. My second favorite feature is the self locking and self sharpening blade. After making a cut and bring the blade back down into the start position, it automatically locks in place. This is a wonderful safety feature especially if you have small children who want to visit your studio. It is easy to store because you don't have to worry about the blade springing open. My only regret is that I could not afford one with a wider cut. Way to go Dick Blick! Wonderful combination of beauty and easy of use in an art tool.
