About a year ago I bought a big, self sharpening guillotine trimmer. It works great, it's straight (often not the case with paper trimmers) and sharp and has both inches and centimeters. Today, however, I need to cut something precise and I couldn't. I hadn't noticed before but the between centimeters there aren't stripes to indicate the millimeters. Each centimeter is divided into four. Who would do such a thing?
So, this trimmer is going to the store. The one we have there isn't straight, is rusted and incredibly heavy. And my hunt for the perfect 12 inch self sharpening guillotine trimmer continues.

Ok I understand inches being divided into fourths but not centimeters.
