Default Cutter Bee Bugs?

Has anyone seen these? They are little things, kind of like a rotary cutter, but about the size of a keychain. They do different things; one is a scorer, another is a paper piercing tool (with a single row of pierces, and also a double row).

(If I haven't explained this well, please google 'cutter bee bugs').

Does anyone use these? I saw them at Walmart here in Canada for $9.99 for two (the single row and double row). I've always been hesitant to do paper piercing (I haven't bought the SU tool). Is this easier?

Enable me!!

I have the cut, score and perf ones. I use the cut the most. When I am making envelopes, I use it to cut around the edges before having to do the more detailed work with scissors. I tried to do the detailed items with the bug itself, but it goes wild quickly. Maybe with more practice I could do it. Until then, they are so smooth and quick to use.

Save your money...........I have tried multiple times to use these and nothing looks good. I even tried using pigment ink and trying to make a dotted trail and it doesn't work. Waste of money IMO

I have the cutter kit from SU. It has a cutter, a scorer, a perf, and a distressing tool all on one little keychain-like thing. I think it was around $20 or so. I don't use it alot but it's great to throw in my bag to take with me. And I really like the distressing tool.
