Product should be re-designed
This product needs to be re-designed. It is dangerous to use.
Last week I bought this circle cutter; couldn't wait to use it, I was so excited. I am a careful person, and I ALWAYS read the directions. I even saw the video on how to use this product on Martha's website. I was CERTAIN that I would have no probelms with using it.
The blade was difficult to insert into the tool handle. I struggled to remove the blade cover. Yes, I know that it is supposed to SLIDE off sideways. . . it didn't work for me. I tugged and tugged on the cover until finally it came off and cut my finger wide open.
After a trip to the emergency room for stitches, I decided there was something wrong with it, so I brought it to work to show the guys. One of them had no problem with removing the blade cover, but another person had the same problem as I did (but did not cut themselves :)). We are both left-handed, so I wonder if that could be the issue? I don't know for sure, but I DO know that it should not be difficult to remove the cover. In my opinion, it should be re-designed or someone else may have the same situation.
If I thought I could return it, I would. I am very disappointed in the product, and I am not a person to be negative for no reason. If you are contemplating buying this product, be warned.
