Thread: Rotary Cutter Injury Protection

I tried the glove but it's time consuming to take the glove off and on with each time I need to cut. The Rule Steady is just pick up and use, no time lost or hassle. I use the small round Gypsy gripper on small ruler cuts. It works great and no worry at all about cutting my fingers. I never use a rotary cutter without some type of cutting guard. At guild I use an iron to hold the ruler if I don't have my guard with me.

the name of the gloves your looking for is KEVLAR we use them where i work just google it..there are all kind to pick from

I watch Fons and Porter every week on my local PBS station, and even if they have a guest on, they make them
put on the safety glove. I guess they have a reason to do so. I guess maybe I'll start doing this too.

I have the glove and use it and wasn't hard getting used to it. Also never never use it bare footed - if it falls you can have a nasty cut.

The glove is called a Klutz glove and I won't let new users a rotary cutter without one. Of course, I , me, forget, to use it most of the time.

I haven't cut myself with my rotary cutter...yet! I do have a Klutz glove and try to remember to put it on; I have small hands and find the size very constricting and uncomfortable and don't like using it, a larger size was way to large. That all being said, last night while fixing a casserole and slicing cheese with a cheese slicer, the slicer slid off the cheese and onto my pinkie and tried to add some extra meat to the dish, slicing the knuckle. Ouch!! Once I was able to stop the bleeding I liberally applied Nu-Skin. I guess I should have had my Klutz glove on. Better believe the next time I use that slicer I'll use the Klutz instead of being one!
