I got myself the accessories (cutting attachment), I often have to tinker cartons for shipping product. With normal scissors to torments himself by 5cm müsam by. With these accessories, you glide through cardboard by a breeze. Paper can thus cut too! Carpet I have therefore not yet been cut. He think that the well shaft. Agree with the opinions of others: cut for Hobbibastler and occasional carpet is optimal. For 20 should not expect too much you. The build quality is ok. The cutter blade wobbles a little but it still cuts continuously good.
