I purchased this a few years ago and have used it a few times. It requires some force to cut. [Product Details] Cuts up to 2 sheets of A4 size paper. Can also cut postcards, CDs, and cards. While it can't cut large quantities at once, it's convenient for disposing of personal information like delivery slips and expired credit cards from your home. The cutting part is removable, making it easy to dispose of the waste. [Size] Please allow for some margin of error. Width: Approximately 33cm (including the handle) Length: Approximately 16cm Height: Approximately 18cm
