45mm Ergonomic Squeeze-Handle Rotary Cutter (RTY-2/DX) - Auto-Retract

Quality rotary cutter. Used immediately and easy to use and cut cleanly

I’m horrible at closing my rotary cutter so this one works great for me. My daughter who is a lefty likes that she can move the blade.

great size and easy to use makes pattern cut outs a breeze

► Why I like it: I looked for several key points when deciding which rotary cutter to buy. Since these blades are so super sharp, safety had to be a high priority. I wanted one whose blade fully retracted and provided protection for the blade edge all around when retracted. I also wanted one with anti-slip grips and protection for my pressing index finger in case I accidentally slipped. I sure don't want to run my finger over the top of the blade while bearing down! What an OUCH that would be! I also wanted the blade to extend and retract via squeezing and releasing of the handle so I did not have to use the lock. This would be safest as then I would not forget to release the lock before putting it down as suggested by the manufacturers. But by the same token, I wanted to still have a lock in case I was doing funny shaped turns and cuts. Without a lock, I would not be able to get in the corners and still have the blade extended nearly as easily. Since any lock would put my finger or thumb near to harms way, it needed to also offer protection to keep my finger or thumb from sliding into the blade. Having a soft grip handle to prevent fatigue was important, too. Plus, as we age, some of us start to develop arthritis in our hands. I'm not there yet, but if I reach that point, I will not have to replace my cutter with one that is more arthritis friendly if I think and plan for it now. I like being able to hang things. It makes it super easy to find vs storing in a drawer, keeps things neat and as with this, adds another degree of safety versus reaching around in a drawer sight unseen. This model comes with a nice hook for hanging. Finally, I wanted a good brand name for warranty, blade replacement and durability. I did not want to invest in a name I did not know and regret it later on. I would rather spend a bit more now and not have to replace it later on and waste that money. I didn't want a lot, did I. After all my research, I finally decided on this one and have been very happy with my decision. I just don't know why it took me so long to buy one of these in the first place. ► Dimensions: 2 ½” max with blade retracted x 6 ½” length ► Pros: Does fantastic straight and clean cuts. Super easy and even fun to use. Makes cutting fabric quick, accurate and easy. Forget scissors. Pair this with a cutting mat and a long straight edge ruler, and you are good to go and go fast. ► Cons: None. ► Suggestions for Improvement: None. ► Would I buy again?

The best rotary cutter on the market!

Great cutter, very very sharp and solid device. The blade can lock away when not in use helping to improve safety when storing. Not difficult to change out the blades and easy to use and manipulate when making cuts. I will add to make sure you watch your hands and other body parts and items when cutting. I cut my finger really badly by accidently running over my finger when making a cut in some thick saddle leather. Had no issues cutting the leather, nor my finger. The cut was so clean I didn't even feel it, and it was deep. Not any fault on the blade, all my own stupidity. Just watch what you cut, they are super sharp :)

Cog fog is real I was always forgetting to put the safety on my other rotary cutter and I found out about these. total game changer for anyone that has memory issues. I love the way it feels in my hand the ergonomics of it. Delivery was fast. Changing the blades is easy best investment I’ve made besides Wonder Clips

Excellent working rotary cutter.

Top top top !!!

Pour la couture, découpe parfaite , maniable , léger , sécurité assurée.

Mia moglie è molto contenta con questo taglierino, adesso può tagliare i tessuti e i cartamodelli diritti, perché con la forbice non è un asso. Lo può utilizzare con entrambi mani ed è affilatissimo. Il materiale è tanto bello, robusto e il design azzeccato. Ottimo.

Estoy muy contenta con el cúter. Es muy seguro porque a diferencia de otro que tengo, la cuchilla sólo permanece fuera mientras se aprieta el mango. También he notado que pesa menos que otros cúters. El corte es fino y totalmente uniforme y no requiere de una segunda pasada para hacer efectiva la separación de telas. Además funciona genial para el corte de papel y cartón, por lo que lo aconsejo para ser usado por niñ@s, siempre bajo supervisión, puesto que no deja de ser una cuchilla. Debo decir que todavía no le he dado excesivo uso, por lo que no puedo opinar sobre la durabilidad y/o desgaste de la cuchilla. La única pega es que la cuchilla recoge residuos de tela al cortarla, al menos con tejidos de algodón, por lo que requiere un mantenimiento más constante. Aún así mi valoración sobre el producto es de máxima satisfacción.

It's a good purchase, received the blade today and tested on some cotton fabrics with folded in 8 layers and it did cut the fabric smoothly. You do need to put little pressure and hold the blade steady and in one stroke; 'voila'. Makes my job easier. Now, let's see how long the blade's sharpness lasts. Hope it goes a long way.
