But these things really can't cut through my paper at all, it just bunches it all up and looks awful. Perhaps I need to use it on a special surface? I just feel like I was dooped.

Fiskars 12-94227097 5-Inch Blunt Softgrip Scissors Review

Fiskars 12-94227097 5-Inch Blunt Softgrip Scissors

I am an Art teacher that has been using Fiskars student scissors for 10+ years. When I received my latest order of scissors, they were of this new type with the "larger" handles (exactly like these, but without the "softgrip"). Because of the new way that the blades are seated into the handles, they are prone to become loose and wobbly, eventually rendering them impossible to cut with. This is at the plastic connection point, not the pivot screw, so they cannot be re-tightened. I have 10 year old pairs of the other style that cut better than these new ones. Furthermore, the new, "larger" handles actually have smaller finger openings-- so they are uncomfortable for larger-handed students to use or for adults to demonstrate with.

Dritz Eyelet Tool -For 1/8 Inch Eyelets Review

The hardest part was cutting the hole in the fabric. I got several the wrong size! Sometimes the eyelet fell out cause I got the hole too big. Oh well, I'm clumsy with scissors.
From there it was easy. The directions are pretty straightforward. Use a scrap of lumber underneath so you don't ruin your work surface! It worked really well.

Fiskars 95217097 45 mm Rotary Cutter Review

I had the opportunity to try the Olfa and the Fiskar rotary cutters from a friend who had both. After trying them for about 15 minutes, I decided I preferred the Fiskar cutter. The Olfa was okay and worked well, but the Fiskar cutter felt better ergonomically. The Fiskar handle was curved, sturdier with a better grip. I don't care for the straight cutters. Another friend also preferred the Fiskar cutter. We all decided Fiskar cutter was the best ergonomically, but will probably buy the Olfa blades. I hope this helps for those who may be on the border between the two. I rate it 4 stars because the blade is better on the Olfa.

A handy tool for any craft enthusiast's toolbox, this general-purpose 45 mm rotary cutter makes easy work of cutting through heavy stock or multiple layers of fabric, paper, felt, vinyl, cardboard, mat board, cloth, or fiberglass material. The unit features a contoured loop handle for a secure, comfortable, left- or right-handed grip; a long-lasting razor-sharp blade; and alignment markings to ensure a correctly positioned blade guard. The engagement lever on the top of the tool lowers the blade. When finished, press the release button on the side of the cutter to retract the blade for storage and safety. With fewer parts and no small washers, the cutter's blade can be changed effortlessly thanks to the easy-grip nut with a plastic cap for tightening. The rotary cutter measures approximately 8-4/5 by 4/5 by 3-4/5 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
