DAFA 45mm Soft Grip Rotary Cutter

I bought this to use for cutting fabric as well as paper and card and so far I am really pleased.I was a bit worried as this was one of the cheaper options available but so far it has held up brilliantly. It has a solid and sturdy feeling handle and the blade attachment seems secure.Cuts through fabric well (2 layers of thick denim were no problem) and it's really easy to follow the edge of a steel ruler to get those crisp cuts. You have much more accuracy than with scissors and so there is a lot less fraying in the end. Would definitely recommend even to an amateur sewer like myself. I can see myself using this for cutting paper as well. Really pleased with the product.

Fantastic cutter. Very sharp so needs to be used with care. Used to cut leather.

As a cutter it's great though i have nothing really to compare it with, it feels nice in the hand and slides open and closed nicely. Bought it because it was cheap compared to other cutters and would buy it again. It's cheaper than a good pair of scissors and cuts fabric way better imo! The blade did seem to dull rather quickly, I'm not sure if it was because I had accidentally scraped it across my metal ruler (note to self: don't do that). Anyway that's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I managed to buy replacement blades though and it was really easy to change and works like new so that's good. For me this cutter is really good value for money.

Does what it's meant to.

Really excellent rotary cutter! I bought this as a birthday present for a friend who loves sewing – she sews clothes for her family and friends all the time.I’d watched her struggle to get clean, accurate cuts, without any frays or tears, for a while. We were watching TV and she saw someone using a rotary cutter like this and expressed how much she wanted one but was worried about the price. I immediately jumped on Amazon and found this excellent cutter!It’s so reasonably priced, but don’t let that fool you – this cutter could compare with any of the more expensive brands. It’s very sharp, and it cuts beautifully on every fabric she’s tried so far. I imagine on some tougher materials you may need to add a bit more elbow grease to get it all the way through, but overall it is a fantastic piece of equipment. My friend says she doesn’t know how she lived without it!Highly recommend this product.

I first had one of these about 4 years ago when I started sewing but having had a son since then sewing took a backseat until he started school. Now I'm back sewing I wanted to replace my now dead blade with a new rotary cutter which was the same. Especially as I'm always loosing it in the sewing room! I find it really easy to hold with a good grip support where needed and I also suffer from chronic arthritis so this was a huge reason I wanted the exact same cutter again. The blade is really easy to get out when in use and can be easy to pop back without the risk of injury. Cuts very well cleanly and effectively where desired. For the price I'm thrilled and will be sticking up on another in case this one goes walkies too!

Not too bad it takes a few cuts to suss out where the blade cutsNice and sharp

This is excellent value for money. I've never had a rotary cutter before, so didn't want to spend a lot. It came quickly, very well packaged. I opened it cautiously and tried a few cuts. Brilliant! It's one of those tools I can't imagine doing without now, although I'll need a lot of practice before I can cut fiddly bits with it! It's brilliant for long straight cuts. The handle is soft and comfortable and there is a safety cover for the blade that you click on and off. This is one sharp, neat, well-made cutter. I have small hands and don't like clumsy tools, so I like this for sewing.I'd say the packaging is misleading. If another reviewer hadn't mentioned it I would have been expecting more in the packet. You do not get extra wheels with it, so ignore all those pictures down the side.
