"What a crock of poop"

Commenters were quick to agree with the original poster, sharing their own experiences with the product, which retails for $2.

“Yep what a crock of poop I threw mine across the room 🙈 and went back to scissors 😂” one person said.

“Well lets just say mine was about as sharp as a over ripe banana 😩” another agreed.

“Did it work ? ABSOLUTELY NOT !…”

“I agree, these are dog sh*t 😭” said a third.

“Rubbish ! Brought one last year and it was just as crap lol.” another agreed.

Some even expressed their thanks to the poster, who ended up saving them some money.

“Thank you for saving me the money..cause God knows we need every cent atm with the price of bills, rent and everything else going up. 💕 love me a real girls, girl 💖” one said.

“Thanks for the heads up lovely,” another agreed.

But, others weren’t so sure about the review, blaming the paper, as opposed to the wrapping paper cutter.

“I think it might work on not-crap wrapping paper. Like nothin go thin like Kmart or big w,” one commenter said.

"I think it’s more about what wrapping paper you use, not the cutter 😊 I have this exact cutter and I find it works on the thicker paper type ones and not the waxy, thin ones,” another agreed.

“They actually work on good paper. But on Kmart paper. Haha it’s horrible.” said a third.
