OLFA 45mm Ergonomic Rotary Cutter (RTY-2/DX) - Rotary Fabric Cutter w/Blade Cover & Squeeze Trigger for Quilting, Sewing, Crafts, Replacement Blade: OLFA RB45-1H

This is my favorite style Olga. When you squeeze the handle the blade cuts. When you lay it down the blade closes preventing unnecessary injury to hands and fingers.

Very proficient and easy to use. The safety button is not in the way, but it is easy to clip in and out, so I don't cut myself. It keeps a solid line going and doesn't lose the durability of the actual rotary cutter. The weight is user-friendly And definitely a good value for its money.

Just what I wanted!. Great value for my money

I really like this rotary. Upon release of the handle, the blade retracts. I will order this one again.

Works well

I bought an 18mm rotary cutter for tight and small corners of cutting (armholes) that I’m have a hard time cutting accurately with my sewing scissors. I felt the blade was a bit slippery and easy for me to go astray, not to mention I had to run over a few areas again where I missed going all the way through a double layer of fabric. I thought the 45mm would be a bit easier and more accurate (bought it for the larger areas of my fabric). Of course, I still had the same issues. I guess some people can handle using these things better. I can see it being very useful in quilting and projects with a lot of straight lines though. But, after using rotary blades, I just appreciate my scissors more. I am very scared one of these days I’ll slip up and end up cutting in the wrong direction and ruining my fabric pieces. But these product seems high quality. I like the squeeze handle on this.********************Few months later, with a change of heart:Practice and use of my clear rulers helped. I’m starting to like using this. I used it recently on a very large pattern, and it definitely saved me a LOT on scissor time. I still have to use my scissors in tight, curvy areas though. I like the ergonomic design of the handle, and the trigger handle. The trigger handle is especially useful to me for more reasons than one. I’m an easily forgetful person these days. I’ve numerous burns on myself because I forget my hot iron is nearby. So the automatic release after use is nice. My smaller rotary knife doesn’t have that option, so sometimes I leave the blade exposed on my table. Not very safe.Another reason I’m starting to like using this is that it’s a lot easier on my trigger finger issue on my right hand. I was told to limit use of scissors under this condition.

Works so much better than the orange brand.

Works great cuts really good reccomend
