I have had a GO for about 5 years or so. I had the regular one until I bought the GO Big (electric) about 1 year ago. I have 5 or 6 of the strip cutters. I probably have 25 other dies. I use the strip cutters the most. I use them for binding, borders, squares and diamonds. I love my strip cutters and my GO Big. I have never regretted the money I have spent on them.
