It's a great tool if you are right-handed...and I'm a lefty. There is no way to adapt it to left or right. I tried to use it with my right hand (I am a bit ambidexterous), but couldn't use it at all. The design makes it for use only in your right hand. The "feel", "heft", and smoothness of it is way above any of the other rotary cutters.
If you have a coupon and want to spring for it, go ahead...IF you use your cutter in your right hand.
That said, I have a collection of Gingher scissors and positively love them...especially the dressmaker shears (left and right-handed pairs). So, my disappointment is not with the manufacturer, but with the product.
I've looked on-line for it, but Gingher doesn't make a "lefty".
I finally gave it to a friend. :cry:
