This little tool is easy to use for both my small hands and my husband's big hands. We use it for DIY projects. Lately we've been putting contact paper on furniture. I was able to cut precise lines, especially around the edges. We started betting with a double knife. Thank God it was delivered very quickly - you can tell exactly where we didn't use the x-acto blade! I like the cap over the blade as the blade is sharp. I've seen reports of people actually using this to abuse animals. I'm sick! There is a special place in Hell for people who hurt the elderly, children and animals! Either way, a nice item for DIY and DIY enthusiasts!
