We R Memory Keepers Trim & Score Board Review

I just wanted to do a quick post on the We R Memory Keepers Trim & Score Board. I was super excited to the get the board, since I wouldn't have to exchange my trimmer for my score board when doing a project.  I've had it for a couple of months now, and although I love the concept of it, I'm not head over heals in love with the tool. I'm actually stuck at the like stage.  Here are a few of the issues I have:

1.  I don't know if its me (it very well could be), but it does not appear to cut straight.  I have to pull the blade down really slow, but it still seems to be come out crooked mostly and the ends of the paper.
2.  When I press down on the blade to cut paper, it seems as if the blade is cutting into the plastic board.
3.  The magnets have some hold, but its not really strong and really doesn't help when using smaller pieces of paper.
4.  It folds in half.  The problem with it folding in half is that it make the 5 1/2" score line hard to keep straight.  You need to go super slow.

Now don't get me wrong, there are things about this board that I like and here they are:

1.  The blade for the trimmer is really sharp and cuts cleanly.
2.  The score lines come out nice and crisp (except for the 5 1/2" line).
3.  The bone folder has its own storage spot so it's always with the board.
4.  The measurements are clear and easy to see and read.
5.  It folds half, this actually falls in both categories.  I love that it is easy to store and take with you to crops.

Note: there are levers on the bottom that secure the board in the unfolded position.  Although it lays flat, there is a little bit of bowing on the surface when you press down.  The board does seem sturdy enough that I don't believe that it will break.

I'm going to keep trying to use this board, because it just may be a comfort level and use issue that has me not head over heels in love.  But I'm still primarily using my old Fiskars paper trimmer.

What do you think of the We R Memory Keeper Trim & Score Board?
