Not commercial grade, plastic handle, not worth even the deeply discounted price
I purchased this trimmer based on it's description as "commercial grade," with a "solid wood" base. In the answered questions, three people claimed that it had a metal handle. None of this is true. If it was true at one time, it is true no longer. These answered questions, in effect, constitute part of the product description, and if they are not accurate, or the product has changed in the meantime, Amazon should not continue to post the erroneous information. This is an inexpensively made paper cutter that is certainly not worth the suggested retail price claimed. It has a plastic handle, the base is medium density fiber board, not "solid wood," and it plainly won't stand up to commercial usage. If I had seen this item on the floor of a retail store, I wouldn't have purchased it, even at the deeply discounted price, though some people might pay that much for it. As it is, I feel misled on a number of levels: 1) the suggest retail price is unrealistic, so that the discount is not what one would suppose, 2) the quality of the cutter is not commercial grade, and 3) the many exuberant reviews seem to be a result of group think more that truly reflective of the value of the product.
