i've been using xacto tools for years i would be lost without my multi bladed xacto knives. i use them to cut out stensils, and just everything i need to use that sort of tool for. i have not used a regular rotary cutter from them except the circle cutter i have and,,, it cuts circles. i have tried other brands of craft knife's over the years...looking to save a buck, but when i can afford good quality craft tools they are one of the brands i look for.
