Just don't cut through a sprocket hole. Works as well as the very expensive trimmer you never see for sale.

Which have had for 6.3 months. But I'd get a trimmer if I saw one. I have a longer thumb nail on my right hand for bass notes. On the guitar which I don't own yet. But will take up again soon I think. Mark Rabiner Harlem, NY markrabiner.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
