I have two sizes of the Gypsy Gripper and I take those to classes to use when I'm cutting. I don't take my Slide Lock or Rule Steady, everyone wants to use them and I end up not having it when I need to cut. The ruler is held very steady but the most important thing is safety. It's very important to have a safety tool be second nature.
I never thought I'd cut myself with the rotary cutter until I did. It could have been very bad but it was bad enough. If you just cannot afford to buy a safety tool then at least use an iron to hold the ruler down while you cut.
