I have Olfa, Fiskars, and Martelli cutters and like them all, however, since I cannot stand up any more, the Martelli allows me to cut more accurately while sitting down, and my arm is in a more natural position. Of course sharp blades are the biggest asset one has when cutting.

I use the Martelli and the ergonomic Olfa and like them both. I prefer 60mm cutters but bought an Olfa 45mm so that I could use the Harbor Freight blades. They were awful for me. I do have another package so I might try them again.

I Love my Martelli. Took me a little while to get use to it, now that's all I use. Much easier on my wrist & I can cut many more layers accurately.

MARTELLI--I can cut all day and my wrist doesn't hurt. There is a learning curve, but once you "get it" you will never change. Plus you can go to Harbor Freight and get carpet cutter blades instead of buying the expensive rotary blades. The blades are about a dollar each instead of about $8.
