Default Paper Gator

Has anyone seen this too in action? I'd love to hear some reviews before "taking the plunge" so to speak.

Hey JW....I won thi sproduct in an online gig. It looks pretty cool. I haven't rec'd it yet though. They said they would start shipping end of April. I do have a Lasco corner rounder that I absolutely love. It is the same concept, but not in pretty pink!

I've seen the Lassco one but couldn't quite give up that much cash for what I'd use it for. This one retails for $49.99 which is quite a bit cheaper but I'd like to know what people think of the quality. Zutter is coming out with a handheld rounder that will do chipboard, etc but I'd also like to be able to do multiple pages for making books with my BindItAll.

Let me know when you get yours so you can give me a product review!

Hey, I don't have the gator, but I went to a demo day today. Its a pretty cool punch. It can do 8 sheets of cardstock at one time, using 1 finger to press the lever. Not sure what the machine comes with, but the offer they had today had 4 different blades and 9 cutting pads. They were showing that you can do scallop borders if you remove the guides and use the large corner rounder.

I just got this from my LSS and love it!! It cut medium weight chipboard like buttah (don't have anything heavier to try, although I guess I could try a couple sheets at once. At work now, so I'll try later). I was also able to make a scalloped edge on the chipboard super easy!

My friend at the LSS said they tried the Zutter version at CHA and they said it wasn't a very good product. They will only get products for their store that they fully endorse and the ATB one was it! HTH!

I thought since some time had passed, maybe more people have seen or used this? Let me know what you think.

Oh no :( I just recently the two zutter corner rounders. I've rec'd one of them but haven't used it yet. I wanted the heavy duty rounders for chipboard and acrylic and have been very happy with Zutter quality in everything else so far. I hope the corner rounders don't disappoint.

With the exception of the tape writer, I love everything I've gotten from ATB and their tagger is absolutely addictive to me......I want to tag EVERYTHING lol..........

These are showing up at my AC Moores now. I snagged one today with a 50% off coupon for $25. Now I just need the other blades/accessories. They did not have those yet.

I too have been curious about this tool (esp. after seeing AC Moore has it & I could use a coupon!). I have seen that the Zutter corner rounders advertise that they can cut chipboard & acrylic. Anyone with a Paper Gator able to say whether it can do that, too? I've had a hard time trying to really compare their capabilities. Thanks!

Michael Strong uses one on crafttvweekly.com this week and he used it to cut heavy chipboard and it cut it like it was nothing.
