Fiskars 45mm Rotary Cutter for Fabric, Premium Steel Stick Fabric Cutter Cuts Through Multiple Layers, Right and Left Handed, Easy and Safe Blade Change, Arts and Crafts, Sewing and Quilting Tools

I love this rotary cutter. It easily cuts through a few layers of fabric. It doesn't hurt my hands and it locks for safety. I hardly use scissors anymore. It is plastic material but it's sturdy.

My sewing teacher told me that this is the only brand she will buy, so I followed suit. I see why she chooses to keep purchasing this item because it works great and cuts through fabric like a hot knife through butter. It is the perfect size for my hand and is super easy to use. You don’t have to push super hard to get this to work. I wish it came in black, but who really cares? The color does not dictate the functionality.

works great and retractable confortable in hand

These are super sharp, so I’m glad they come with the safety cover. Really helpful for my products

As with all things I buy on amazon, I did plenty of reading and comparing before buying. In the end, I justified the purchase based on the overwhelming positive reviews and the name. I have been buying Fiskars scissors for as long as I can remember and they never let me down. So, although I had read that the cutter itself is good, the blades not so much, I decided I would try it and if need be I could purchase different blades. And it seems that is what I will be doing. For now, it works fine. It cuts what I need to cut , but sometimes it takes a few tries to get the job done. I am using it mainly for cutting fabric. I am sure cutting paper would go over perfectly, but that is not what I bought it to do. Even on single layers it doesn't make complete cuts all the time I'd say maybe about 70%. I use even pressure and sometimes more pressure than necessary. I had read that the olfa blades are much better, so I will try those out on my cutter, which is great by the way. It feels good in my hand and even though I had thought I would accidently hit the blade retract button with my thumb while cutting, it hasn't happened yet, but it is in the perfect place to get the blade out of the way the moment I finish a cut making it very safe (and when you have rambunctious kids and curious cats, that is always important)So, cons: the blade is not up to par. If I were to review them separately it would have 2 stars.Pros: the cutter itself is ergonomic, is very well thought out, very easy to use, and I feel that my kids and cats are safe around it when used properly. If I were to rate it separately it would have 5 stars because really it exceeded my expectations.I give it 4 stars overall because the one thing I don't like about it is the one thing that can be and should be changed eventually.In the picture it is hard to see, but there is an indentation after the cut where it kept going, but didn't cut through the fabric.

I went from using regular scissors to try to cut fabric and then to this roller cutter and it is a huge game changer. It’s made my life so much easier. I didn’t have a cutting board type backing for this roll cutter, but I found that using cardboard seemed just as good. It cut the fabric with ease and only one swipe. It was easy to control. It fit nicely in my hand. Seems like it’s built with very good quality. And it was a great price.

Listen I love cutting fabric, especially with scissors (ASMR) but this is a legit fast gadget that helps get the job done. I would say kind of kid friendly just don’t tell them to put their finger in-front of it. And do not apply a TONNNN of pressure, it can fall apart over time. It’s not flimsy or cheap, I’m just saying don’t put hulk strength on it lol. And make sure you’re using a cutting mat, you can leave indents on your table.

Exactly as described. Cuts great and true.
