Not what Fiskars used to do

I have used Fiskars circular knives for many years and have always found them to work best for me. This fool. I'm not sure why they changed it, but they moved the locking button to exactly where your thumb wants to sit while using the cutter. When you go to cut, your thumb will cover the knife. OK, I can adjust to that. What I couldn't get used to was that when I hit the "Cut" button, it would close by itself. No matter how lightly I pressed it, it just closed. I ended up being so disgusted…

Amazing cutting performance

I'm amazed at how well the rotating blade cuts. Effortlessly cuts through fabric, heavy leather, etc. Effortlessly cuts a straight line with a ruler or a free-form curved line. I prefer this to drag the blade along the edge of the ruler to cut a straight line, it's like using a pizza cutter but much, much sharper. Replacement impellers are cheap and plentiful. For safety reasons, the blade disc is pulled back to the side during transport or storage. Just push the lever forward and it lowers and

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!

I cut t-shirts. I saw my colleague carving these and it was amazing. It only took one pass and her cut was so clean saving a ton of cleaning time! After reading the rave reviews I chose this one. Goodgriff either I got the worst rip ever or a damn lot of you guys are crazy! Mine is so blunt that it won't cut through a regular t-shirt without looking through it over and over, tearing the edges in the process. And I couldn't even make a shirt that strong. I am so disappointed that I went through…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Nothing here

Am I doing something wrong?

During the Black Friday sale I bought two cutters - this one and the straight handle Fiskars which was part of a cutting mat kit. A straight cutter cuts fabric like a dream. With minimal pressure, the blade simply slides through fabric and magically breaks in two. This one definitely doesn't cut. I've tried light pressure and heavy pressure. I tried loosening and tightening the turnbuckle but nothing. Before you ask, yes the blade lengthens, but it may not be because of how effectively it…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Not like before.

I have an old Fiskars cutting machine that I've had for 20-25 years and it still works great. I bought this new one to add to my sewing kit to keep at the lake house over the weekend. This new one is terrible! This is not the same quality of the old! In the new design, the button to retract the blade is right where your thumb is. So you have to be careful not to touch it when cutting, otherwise the blade will retract when trying to cut. Then, to add to the poor quality, the blade began to…

Can't cut a straight line with it

I usually try to start off with good things about a product, but this product really annoys me. I bought Fiskars because they are the best or used to be the best. Not so much today. I waited a few days to write this review to be more objective. The blade is wobbly. It wobbles no matter how you tighten it, making it impossible to cut straight even on a thick aluminum ruler. The blade retracts into the handle as a safety measure. Unfortunately, my hands are slightly larger than average. Simply…
