DIY Crew 24 Inch Paper Roll Dispenser and Cutter - Heavy-Duty Wall Mountable, Non Slip Tabletop - Kraft, Freezer, Butcher Paper - Up to 1000ft Rolls

***Update: My previous review was a 1-star review. The product had serious issues that included a bendy blade, a serrated edge that shredded paper, and the fact that it required me to use two hands to make cuts. After posting my original review I returned the item without contacting the seller. After seeing my review, they actually reached out to me and put in an amazing effort to fix my issues, going above and beyond. Good customer service goes a long way in making a product worth the cost and in this case, they took this product from a 1 to a 5-star item. After reaching out to me and letting me know they saw and read my review, they noted the issues that I mentioned and worked super hard to fix them. They talked with their design team and ended up sending me different blades as well as a new base to test it out on. They sent me two types of blades, a serrated and a flat. I’ve attached a photo showing the three blades. The furthest to the left is the new serrated, the middle is the original blade that shipped with the unit, and the right is the flat blade. As you can see, the original blade is hollow in the center which led to the bending. The new blades are super high-quality, sturdy and durable. I ended up using the flat blade as it’s a better fit for my needs. The flat blade gives me crisp and clean lines. I’ve attached a photo of a tear that I made with the flat blade installed. I was able to make the tear with a single hand and it came out perfectly. If you’re looking for a product that has amazing customer service behind it and a really high-quality product that will last a lifetime, this is it. I’ll leave my original review posted below, but my mind has completely been changed and I’m in love with this product now. ***Original Review: I ordered this paper roll cutter to use for trimming large rolls of butcher paper for sublimation. It does not work for my needs at all. The serrated cutter doesn’t gently cut the paper in a small zigzag pattern; it shreds the paper like shark teeth about a quarter inch deep. I’ve attached photos of the “best” cut I was able to get. Most of the practice cuts I attempted all ended with the paper tearing around ¾ of the way down the page. The only way to stop the paper from tearing is to hold down the bar the entire time you’re using it. This means that it can only be used with two hands. Half the point of getting a paper roll cutter is that you can do it with one hand. This defeats the purpose. For the current price of around $43, I was expecting this cutter to be well made with high-quality and sturdy materials. Admittedly, the base is sturdy, but the serrated cutting blade is flimsy and bends easily. After repeated use, I can only imagine it would permanently bend and become unusable. Putting this together isn’t difficult and can easily be done by a single person with only a screwdriver. Unfortunately, a lot of putting it together requires you to look at the photos of the product and use a little imagination. The instructions are awful and the included photos are difficult to make out. It doesn’t mention blade orientation or attaching the non-slip feet at all. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this paper cutter to anyone. It does hold large rolls and the base is sturdy, but at best it’s an expensive paper roll holder. The cutting blade is useless, bends, and shreds and rips the paper far more often than cutting it. You can’t use it with a single hand and it’s more expensive than other options available without any added functionality.

Bought this dispenser to be helpful in laying out laminate which I put on stickers/decals that I sell. The laminate comes in a 150' large role and I wasn't sure if it would fit, or even be handy for my use. Took me less than 5 minutes to assemble it ... the rubber tabs work great for holding it steady on my workbench. This dispenser does exactly what I need it to do and I highly recommend it. Very good construction and the width is perfect for the 12" rolls that I need it for.

This is a very good paper cutter. It makes my shipping job a lot easier and can be used tabletop or mounted on the wall. It's the perfect size and is well-constructed and easy to use.

Excellently built product. Feels like it could take a beating. I keep using it when I don’t need to just because it’s so satisfying to cut the paper. Comes with many spare screws in case you lose one. Also comes with drywall anchors & screws for mounting it to a wall, along with rubber feet should you wish to put it on a table. Only complaint is that when mounted horizontally on a wall, the loose end of the paper does not hang down for me to easily grab onto. It is guided towards the wall by the blade, which makes it harder to grab. Perhaps this is just a problem with the packing paper that I use. Other reviews mention that this used to come with a serrated blade that wasn’t very good. I can confirm that the version I received does not have a serrated blade. In fact, the blade itself isn’t sharpened at all — I can run my fingers along it without any worry of getting cut. Yet it still tears the paper with ease. Very effective yet safe. It leaves a straight, slightly torn edge. Not as cleanly cut as if you had used scissors. About as clean as if you had creased the paper and tore it along that crease. Works great.

Easy assembly. Seems to be very stable and sturdy. Using mostly waxed freezer paper. Cuts or tears easily and cleanly using straight edge. Have not used serrated edge. Not needed for what I do. Very pleased with dispenser. Works well.

This cutter takes practice to use, but DOES work! I rip from left to right by holding paper level in both hands, and then raising my left hand and lowering my right, while pulling gently at an angle - am typically able to cut paper without rips for my cages! I have it placed on counter - would be way too awkward and heavy to hang on wall with the really large and heavy roll I am using, in my opinion....

Awesome paper dispenser! it is very easy to use, easy to install, looks professional, operates well, is light enough you can hold it with one hand while marking the wall for installation. it doesn't take up much room--i sandwiched it in a corner between my tool storage rack/shelf. The 'cutter' stays in place well but not so strongly that it is difficult to load paper. you can operate it with one hand once you get the hang of it. All in all, a good value.

The item is sturdy and holds larger rolls, which is nice. The downside, and it is a major one, is some genius put the load opening opposite the spring. This means that any time a roll gets down in weight, the spring launches the entire roll out. I am not sure why it is facing the wrong way, but it is on all the pictures here too. I did not even think to check this, until rolls started shooting off the thing in the middle of lunch service.
