Fiskars Trigger Rotary Cutter, With Blade, 45 mm, For Right and Left-handed Users, Orange/White/Grey, 1003910

I make clothing and bags in particular and have a few rotary cutters so I am compare. This one feels very good in the hand and easily keeps to a straight line even when not using against a straight edge such as a ruler. For the first time today I used this to cut 250msg card as was crafting and it just sliced through with no effort...clean crisp cuts. It is great for cutting fabric too and I will enjoy using this. The only thing I wish is that there was more than one blade supplied with the cutter but that is the same with many of them. I like the fact that by pressing a button on the side the blade stays put whether opening or locking. It definitely cuts Very well and easy to use. So far definitely recommended.

I bought these for my wife as she is dabbling with a bit of dressmaking and she is over the moon with them. She uses them on thin fabric on a cutting bed and she was over the moon with how easy and controllable they are and with the sharpness. Excellent product.

the handle is nice to hold. Nice and chunky so you can grip it well. I previously had one of those bog standard yellow ones which was not as easy to grip. This also has an easy system to push the blade into position for cutting and withdraw it and lock it securely when not in use. All this is done in seconds (again, my standard one you had to push the blade forward and then tighten the screw to hold the blade in place for cutting - it was a pain). Although it is also easy to change the blades, I have made about a dozen patchwork quilts of various sizes, all cut with this and it is still going strong. I also use it for cutting straight lines when pattern cutting and cutting fabric lengths off a roll. I would definitely buy one again, though I think that might not be for some time yet!

This is the BEST rotary cutter I've bought. I suffer from severe arthritic hands and always find using a rotary cutter a problem. This is so different. I love the way it feels in the hand and is very comfortable, the safety mechanism is great too. As soon as you let go of th blade the cover is enabled. You have the option of locking the blade open or closed which is ideal when cutting several items. I bought two of these so I always have one in. I've wasted so much money in the past on ergonomic cutters which haven't been,

Fantastic Tool. I bought it for trimming wallpaper as the ones you get for a couple of quid from DIY stores are useless and flimsy and are not very sharp. You couldn't cut your bum with them. This not only has a proper lock, its strong, stays sharp and you can buy replacement blades. I hung 7 sheets of paper on a feature wall and only required the one blade. It trimmed perfectly around the coving and skirting.I only wish I had discovered it sooner before I had papered the other rooms. A great addition to the tool box. Thanks every one for the feed back when I asked about it.

My first thought using this for the first time was 'why on earth have I been using scissors all this time?' This is my first rotary cutter so I can't compare it to others, but it is perfect for my needs. I'm a seamstress and do a lot of pattern cutting. I have been pinning my pattern pieces and using scissors but with this I can just spread the fabric out on a large cutting mat, and trace around the edges. I have just saved myself serious time and effort! You squeeze the cutter to release the blade, which may be harder for people with sore hands but still easier than scissors I would imagine. The blade is very sharp at the moment, I'll be interested to see how soon it blunts but after a months wear it's still absolutely fine. I haven't had issue with curves so far but small details do still need to be cut with scissors for acuracy. I chose Fiskars because I have always been very happy with their scissors, so I trust the brand.

Updates oct 23 Not so good with time. Longevity not as good as I thought. The Good :- Price was great, ergonomics are excellent, delivery was was quick. The Bad :- I’ve still given it five stars as the product is great, the blades on the other hand are as over priced as they all seem to be. The Bad updated …. Originally I’d given it a full hand if stars. Something I rarely or never do. I was wrong to have done so. It’s now dangerous as after time the cutter sticks with the blade out even if it’s unlocked. I treat my tools well and use authentic blades. The blade is now tight but still moves against the mat so I’m careful. I expected more as my older handle still works fine. I would like a new one but I don’t feel as if I want to risk another and another etc. just a thought for those who like tools to last. It did year before it slowly demised. I expected more from fiskers as I’ve got quite a few products from them.

Funziona benissimo

It took me a while to understand that I could lock it (first pinch, then push the orange little switch to lock), but now I'm happy to use this tool to cut fabric on a cutting mat. Push the orange switch back to unlock and retract the blade -- great to protect your fingers, as well as to protect the blades themselves from other metal objects.

It cuts what I want cut, very easy for a person with strong shoulder muscles for hard materials

Reviews helped me choose this product and I am really pleased with it!

Depuis toujours l'étape découpe du tissus a été ma bête noire dans la pratique de la couture. Je n'avais jamais réussi à avoir des découpes nettes et fidèles au patron, je tirais le tissus, le déformais,... bref je m'étais dis que ça n'était pas pour moi! Et miracle ce cutter rotatif est arrivé dans ma vie et a révolutionné ma découpe de tissus, surtout les tissus fluides, fuyants, comme la viscose. Je ne pourrais plus m'en passer! Il ne faut rien couper d'autre que du tissus avec la lame au risque de la rendre inutilisable, cela dit elle se change facilement. Je déconseille aussi de couper des tissus trop épais comme le jacquard avec, je trouve que cela use prématurément la lame. Et surtout attention à vos doigts, je pense que ça ne pardonnerait pas! Je n'en ai pas fait l'expérience mais pour m'être tranché le pouce à la mandoline, je peux imaginer que ça ne fait pas du bien ;-)
