Fit and buying advice

Compare the RTY-1/C if you want a quick-change lock. The two handle designs share the small wheel size, so choose on the basis of grip and blade changes rather than expecting a different curve radius.

Questions about this tool

Does the handle change the cut size?

Both 28 mm versions use a wheel of the same diameter. The difference to compare is how the handle and guard operate.

Which is better for long straight yardage?

A 45 mm cutter may fit that job better, particularly when you are working with a long ruler.

Can the guard stay on while I store it?

Return the manual cover to the closed position before putting the cutter away.
