    Default Has anyone used this?

    Has anyone used the new rotary palm cutter? Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um_VB4q4ywI I am wondering if it is safe and comfortable to use. If anyone has any input, please let us all know. Thanks

    After watching the video, my feeling is that it seems awkward. Plus it bothers me not to able to see the blade as it cuts. Maybe it's just a new concept for me but the deciding factor for me is the price of $31.95.

    Looks a bit awkward to me. But, then I'm always last to get on the band wagon.

    To me, it also looks awkward, and I also want to see exactly WHERE I'm cutting.

    I have seen it used with the shape cut rulers on videos. I believe it was an Eleanor Burns video and she was cutting strips.

    Just watching that makes me nervous.
    I like to see exactly where the blade is cutting, but even if I were okay with not seeing it, I am afraid I could get too comfortable not seeing the blade that I would slice my opposite hand in a careless moment.
    Besides, it seems that velcro straps eventually wear out.
    It would get on my nerves to keep sliding my hand in and out of that thing .

    Doesn't look like anything I would want to use.
