The handle of the one I have isn&#8217;t comfortable so I shy away from it as much as possible. The new cutter came midway through class so I was able to try it out a little during class and a lot after class.

It doesn&#8217;t have an automatic closing mechanism like my favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3s9xkWl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">45mm rotary cutter<\/a>**, but the closing mechanism is very easy and convenient to use.
